Hello there!
I would like to just introduce myself, tell ya'll why I am here and hopefully I can get some encouraging friends to help keep me in line!
Well I am a mother of one. She is a year old and I am just going back to work for the very first time on Monday!! I have struggled with my weight all my life. However after being a stay at home mom for the last year I really packed on the pounds and have found myself heavier then ever before!!
I am getting married in 14 months! Seems like a long ways away for the wedding day but not a long ways away when it comes to losing weight. I don't want to be a big bride. I want to look great and I want to look back on that day and be proud of the woman I have transformed into. Its going to be a battle and it will take a lot of discipline and work. It seems even harder now I won't have free time during the day because I will be working BUT i think with the help, support, motivation and tips of everyone else on mfp I will pull through!
Im looking to lose about 100lbs and right now it seems next to impossible. Please come together, add me as me a friend, share with my any tips or inspiring thoughts. I really appreciate having this community to confide in!
Thanks everyone in advance and I really hope I hear from some of you!
