in Introduce Yourself
I got engaged the 8th! :) Soooo, you know what that means?! "Operation Fit Bride" is in full effect. I need to lose a LOT of weight. There won't be a fat bride walking down that aisle, no ma'am! Lolz. I would love to make new friends, and motivate each other. Please, feel free to add me. I'm 325 right now, OUCH! I am aiming for a 100 pound loss, with 25 pounds goals. Once I get to 225, we'll work it out from there. I have an elliptical, treadmill, weights & plenty of wii fit games at home, so I have NO excuses. Riiight?!?!

    Thanks! I'm still all giddy... 10 days later! Lolz.

    No, we haven't set a date yet. We've been together almost 5 years come October, so it sort of feels like we're married already. Hehe.

    I didn't meet my goals by my wedding day 2 years ago :( But I aim to look fantabulous by our 5th wedding anniversary where I plan to take a whole new set of wedding photos :) Good luck meeting your goals! Small ones along the way are so much better than the long-term one. You can do it!

    Congratulations !! For a second there, I thought you were going to marry Brad Pit.
    So that would have been the reason for them postponing their wedding....
    Good luck on your mission!

    Second, what kind of time frame are we looking at here for your 100 lbs loss?

    THANKS!!! :):)

    I don't really have a time frame. We haven't set a date, so I'm not saying... 100 pounds in 6 months or some ludicrous time like that! Lolz. I've lost weight before (the not so good way) and I know that it takes time and motivation. No quick "fixes." Right now, I'm just hoping to get below 300 (-25) by the new year/January. My fiancé and I have been together for almost 5 years so we're not in a hurry to get married.

    Congratulations! I came to lol at your graphic. I like yelling, "What's in the box?!" at boxes.

    Lolz, yeaaaa.... that's what he kept saying after he proposed. "Do you know know WHAT'S IN THE BOX!?!?" haha....

    I wrote this on my FB page, I'll just copy and paste (this is how he proposed):

    'What's in the box' Engagement Proposal.

    He created a meme and had our friends post it on my Facebook every couple of hours. He made up a story about it being 7 Day & that friends posted the meme and I had to figure out what was in the box. I figured it was just another fb thing I just didn't get. Lolz. I was getting mad because no one was answering me. What was IN the box?! Haha.

    I was going off about the memes when he shows up with a beautiful box with an even prettier ring and asks, "Did you figure out what was in the box?"

    IT WAS MY ENGAGEMENT RING!

    Lolz, yes.... I haven't actually seen the movie. I just know it's a horror flick. My fiancé's such a kid, I think he just wanted to be able to scream "what's in the box?!" every time he told the story of our engagement. hahha.

    25 lbs by the first of the year shouldn't be too difficult and seems like a decent first goal and you seem like you have a good attitude about it. Good luck.
