in Introduce Yourself
Hi, Im Laura from SW England. I've just joined the site today (while at work so no photo uploaded yet!), im 26 next monday and have just set a date for my wedding - May 12th 2012.

I have been trying to eat right and do exercise since Jan '10 (New Years Resolution!) and in April I was asked to be a bridesmiad for my friend in Feburary (3 months to go!). So far on my own ive lost 20lbs, but ive found it so so hard!
Ive signed up today as ive started Diet Chef to try to control my portions as i think that's where im going wrong!

I was originally 208lbs, im currently188lbs, and my goal for Feburary is 175lbs.

I then hope to be down to 150lbs for my own wedding. Fingers crossed!

Everyone on here seems to love the support and encouragement....can't wait to get stuck in!
