A reason to lose the rest!

Hello-
Weightloss has been a life long thing for me. I was my heaviest in high school, tipping the scale at a whopping 320 pounds. By the time I graduated college I'd gotten down to 170. Five years later, I've maintained my weight pretty well, but right now I'm sitting at about 180. I'm 5'9", so I'm not a small girl, but I workout regularly and eat pretty healthily- though sometimes too much. I'd really like to lose 30-40 more to hit my ideal weight of 140-150.

And now I have a good reason!

This weekend I got engaged!!!!!

So, now it's time to get skinny for the wedding!

We're talking either an August or November wedding... either way, I think I can lose 30-40 pounds by then.

What's 30 pounds when I've already lost about 150?

I'm excited to have found this site, and I look forward to finishing my weightloss goals!

    This is a great site! I'm getting married next March, and I've lost to my original goal (20lbs) since I didn't think I could lose even to that. Well, this site proved me wrong! I've lost 2 lbs over goal (I did change my goals) so now I'm shooting for 8 more lbs & see where that puts me: hopefully by next March those 8lbs will be left way back in my life for good :wink:

    Good Luck & Congratulations :D

    (PS - theres a post called Brides to Be if you're interested)
