    Oh that's funny! It's my cousin who's getting married as well! I haven't decided for sure what I'm going to be yet but I'm leaning towards the cutesy end of things. Maybe snow white.

    Hello ! I am getting married October 18th,2014. I am busting out of my size 16 wedding gown, in fact they added a corset back to compensate. Don't get me wrong, it's still very pretty, I'm just a tad uncomfortable having all eyes on me!

    I am 5'4" and weigh 187. I never even thought that was possible not being someone who has never had a weight problem. Nobody in my family is overweight so this is all from laziness and bad eating habits. My fiancé is just terrible. Eats bad, eats late and doesn't exercise. He is however so amazingly sweet and loves me for who I am, very blessed for that.

    I'm so uncomfortable in my own skin, does anyone else feel that way?

    Yes! I have 25 to go to reach my original goal, so at 20 I may be ready to reassess my final goal.

    I am in! I have 40 to lose and this would be a good start. :love:

    I am not sure that I will lose 20 by the end of October...my body is a little slower at losing weight. I would be happy with 15 by then. :smile:

    I am totally in! I am 5'4 and 149lbs. I would like to be 135lbs. It's not 20....but it's close (14lbs). I hope some of you don't mind if I add you. I don't mind if you add me! :D I've been looking for people who are in the same boat and who also need support on this journey.

    I was exactly in the same position as you, but I changed it all June 27th when I actually began to do something about it. I began exercising May 13th, but it really hit me in June I wasn't losing weight, because of my eating habits. I had to change all that.

    If you are uncomfortable with the way you look, you should change for YOU and nobody else. Remember health is important also to feel great.

    It will be so hard, but I swear it is worth it.

    I am in too!!! I have been trying to the last couple months to drop about 20 and just can't seem to do it. I am really struggling. I lost about 7 lbs and then put them right back on!!! It is so discouraging. It would be great to have some support!!! I have a terrible sweet tooth that gets me in trouble.

    I'll join! Anyone on here can feel free to add me, :) I'm looking to lose about 20-25 lbs by the end of October as well and could use some motivation and accountability!

    This sounds great. I have 12-15 lbs. left to lose depending on the day, I know its not 20 but I'm happy to provide support and encouragement to anyone who wants to add me. For the past several years I have had a Halloween goal and met it. I'm shooting for the moon with these last few lbs. I'm 5'7" and currently between 146 and 150 lbs., up and down for the past few weeks. I'd like to get down to 135. It was the original goal that I was talked out of when I started getting into a healthier lifestyle 7 years ago. I reached my compromise goal of 155 a little over 3 years ago and have kept that much off. I got to 150 2 years ago and 140 last year at Thanksgiving. I've gone into several maintenance periods and then decided I didn't want to track or was "too busy" and gained a few lbs. but got back to tracking whenever I felt my clothes get tighter. I've decided that I believe I can actually achieve 135 and I know accountability people help a ton. I hope all of you reach your goals. Looking hot and feeling confident in a Halloween costume is truly a great treat.
