Hi, I just found this site on theknot.com. I'm trying to lose 50-60 pounds by my wedding a year (or more) away. I have a metabolic disorder which prevents my body from turning fatty acids into energy, so I have to stick to a high-carb, low-fat diet. I'm taking enzyme suppliments to help with this.

I've tried losing weight before. For the past 3 years, I've been saying: "This is the year I lose 50 pounds!" And I've only gained. But, hopefully, this is the last year I say that. Next year, I'll say: "I did it."

I'm Brittany, and I'm 22 years old. I weigh 215, and I love my body, but I need to be healthier.

    Im new as well. Actually I signed on 2 months ago and never used it . Two months went by and another 10 lbs went on. So time to get started.

    Looking forward to meeting some people on this journey . I have 60 lbs to lose at least if not 85.
