Hello everyone!

I am Steph, I am 23 and I am new to this site!

I want to lose three dress sizes for my wedding next November and am so nervous!

I don't have a good track with losing weight. I never lose enough quick enough so I get frustrated and give up, which is bad, I know. But this time I am so determined it's unreal!

Friends to keep me motivated on here would be a God sent as I don't really have any friends in Bristol (insert sad face here).

Thanks and.. yeah! Good luck everyone!

    Hi, Welcome, I'm from over the bridge (other side of Cardiff) although I live in Abu Dhabi now.
    You've made the right choice in joining MFP and asking for support and motivation.
    I log on daily and am also on a quest to drop another 1 (would like 2) more dress sizes after already ditching 2.
    Friend request sent

    Good Luck :flowerforyou:

    Bristol indeed! I love it, though it's very hilly lol.

    Hi Violet! Beautiful name, first of all. And secondly, request accepted ^.^ Well done on the weight loss! I can't wait to start posting mine. It's definitely nice to have British pals who are going through the same torture :p

    I hear you about being determined and getting frustrated when it comes off so slow; I have hypothyroidism, so nothing is fast about this weight loss stuff... I joined MFP and got pregnant shortly after, just had my baby 2 weeks ago, and I'm super determined to get back on track! Feel free to add :)
