    Hi Brittany,

    I don't usually post on here but really wanted to reply to you... I was about your weight and definitely your size 2 years ago. I have lost 65 lbs to date and now am wearing a size 8. I didn't know about this site then, I'm mainly using it now to lose just a few more and keep it off for good. You absolutely CAN do this. For the most part, I just make sure I eat 3 healthy meals and I exercise about 5 days a week. Honestly I have lost it very slowly 2 or 3 a month but the ride down was so fun. And, I figure when you lose it slowly, you develop long term good habits.

    I just wanted to write to give you encouragement. My friend told me yesterday I don't even look like the same person. That's going to happen to you too. Whatever you do, if you make a mistake, don't beat yourself up, go right back the next day and I promise, with perseverance, you are going to be a size or even smaller on your wedding day. Just don't buy your dress too soon.... Happy weight loss to you.

    Terri

    Congrates on the engagement. It's great that you have started your weightloss journey. I would recommend that you start to use some weights in your workouts also. The cardio is great but the weights really do make a difference. You know what they say, "muscle burns fat!!".

    Good luck with everything.
