Hi Guys,

I'm Jay from the UK, and I'm getting married in a year and want to lose as much weight as possible. I also want to lose it because I'm unhappy and would like to maintain it.

    Jay,

    I'm getting married in November...about 2 weeks ago I ended my month of near constant nightmares about being fat at my wedding and not fitting into the dress. I ended the nightmares by joining this site, exercise, and weighing/measuring my food. Now I don't worry about fitting into my dress, I feel better about myself, and I sleep a whole bunch better (probably for 2 reasons :-)!

    Thanks for the welcome... It does seem like a very motivating place which is exactly what I need, a kick up the *kitten*! I know what you mean about wedding nightmares, it's all I seem to think about at the moment, even though I'm sure my fiance wouldn't care how I looked, I just want to look at the pictures when I'm older happy and proud :)

    I'm interested to know what it is about this site that really works? is it the support from other people, hints and tips? or is it the food planner / calorie counter?

    Hey Jay! I'm also about a year out from a wedding and trying to lose about 70lbs. I started this a while ago and lost around 40ish, but fell off the wagon. Now I'm back on and losing again! Make sure to set up mini goals, they really help. Feel free to add me as a friend so we can help motivate eachother, and you can check out my profile and see the mini goals I set to give you an idea of what I'm talking about! Congrats on joining! Here we go!

    Welcome!! You've come to the right place!
    I'm getting married in about 9 months, and my goal is to lose 40 lbs. I've lost 8 lbs in my first month on this site (exercising & counting calories).
    SO I KNOW YOU CAN DO IT!!
    Don't stress about it. PERSISTENCE is key!

    For me it is the combination of several things. My friends that support me, reading other peoples success stories, being able to track my calories and also the tracking of exercise. If I have a couple of awesome workouts and stay within my calories and then I see a pound lost on the scale, it reassures me that I'm doing good.
