Hello :)
I am new here, and would really like someone to chat with & to help motivate me with my weight loss, I've read that it can help to have someone that you have to "report to" and such to help keep you on track.

I've started this journey because I am getting married 09/10/11 (5 months, 5 days!) and I want to look good on the wedding day, of course, but what I really want is confidence! I want to be able to enjoy the day and not worry about how I look or wondering if people are commenting on my weight.

I've been overweight for about 5 years & now that I am getting married & going to be starting a family, I want to be healthy! I want to be a good example to my children, I don't want them to grow up with bad eating habits like I did & I don't want them to be embarrassed of their mom. I want to be able to do outdoor activities with my fiance. Buy clothes at any store, Ect..

Thanks for taking the time to read this. Add me or message me :)

    Hello,
    I'm new here also. I am trying to fit into a smaller sized dress for a friends wedding. I'll help motivate you if you'll do the same.

    Welcome! I'm new to MFP too, but I've been on my weight loss journey for almost a year (April 19th is my "anniversary"). I'll send you a friend request!!
