On a journey to be 100lbs down by my honeymoon!

Hi all! I've been on Myfitnesspal for a couple years now but am just now actually using it. Its done wonders for a couple people I know and hope it will do the same for me.

On October 21st, 2015 I will be marrying the love of my life. We will be together 10years on our wedding date and he has loved me through THICK AND THIN. Literally. More-so THICK. I've struggled with weight since my late high school years when my father became ill and passed away. Food binges are a coping mechanism I've mastered over the years. I've made a pact with myself that My husband and I will enjoy our honeymoon together to the greatest extent we can. I can't do this without being healthy and at a lesser weight. I want this for the long term too. Children, Long health lives together and everything and anything else you can think of is reason enough for me. I am looking to lose roughly 100lbs by my wedding date! I am asking for the support of people who share the same goals. Add me, motivate me, inspire me! The journey will be worth it!

    Hi Dev!
    Your goal sounds wonderful, friend me for sure, I'd love to have motivated friends on here (I'm new/using it again) as well. I had lost most of my weight a couple years ago, then with some life changes and loss of motivation and routine, gained it back.
    I'm currently staring a healthy eating plan I can recommend with certainty if you want to join with me, and working on getting back into shape with turbofire if that interests you too :)

    I'm reading and doing the Eat to Live lifestyle by Dr. Joel Fuhrman. It's a great book, you can pick one up on Amazon, or B&N... lots of great info and motivation for changing how you eat and how you "diet."!
