Challenge to lose 12 lbs

Options
Hi,
I'm new to this site and hope it can help me shed some weight. I sure could use some motivation. I have been trying for years to lose weight, but I really want to give it my full attention this time. I need a pal/s to help me get through this. I am 217 now and would like to start by losing 12 pounds for an upcoming wedding at the end of September. I find it difficult to spend so much time planning meals that will work for me and my family. Any suggestions?

    Great! Today is Thursday, should we have a weekly weigh in day to keep track of how we are doing? If so, what day would you like to use?
