Hey everyone! I'm Kerri, and I am getting ready to graduate college in May and marry my best friend in September! Whew, what a wild year I have ahead of me!
I joined this with the encouragement of one of my best friends and bridesmaids. I know I am definitely overweight for my age and height, which can do a lot to a woman's confidence. I want to lose weight so I can feel a million dollars in my wedding dress, enjoy an active lifestyle with my future husband, and be a really interactive mother for my future children.

My biggest kryptonite is maintaining faith in myself when I lose the will to exercise. My biggest strength is (officially!) MyFitnessPal.

Thanks for reading! I look forward to sharing my journey to a better life with you all! God bless and never give up! :D

    Welcome! You can do it and when you feel your motivation slacking just go for a walk...it's still exercise!

    Kerri, welcome!

    Your goal is something you CAN achieve by your wedding! Hang in there. The scale may not show a lot of progress, but if you feel your clothes getting loser, you are headed in the right direction. Your body composition will change as you replace fat with muscle. Then, your metabolism will speed up and you will be on your way to a healthier lifestyle. Every day is a new day, don' t give up!
