Hello All,

My name is Heather I am a bride to be who needs motivation to lose weight... Iam happy in my relationship and my soon to be husband tells me i am beautifull all of the time, but i dont feel that way. I have gained 70lbs in the past 4 years.. It took me 4 years to put in on so im hopeing it wont take too long to melt it off...lol .. But anyway I am 21 years old and i work two jobs as well as going to school full time.. I feel like i don't have time to work out so i really appreciate all of the motivation I can get..

Thanks .:Heather:.

    Hi, Heather! :smile: You can add me as a friend. I know how you feel. My fiance' tells me, " I'm, just fine & beautiful." too. But I don't feel comfortable at my present weight. That's why, like you, I've decided to do something about it. For myself! :wink: The people here are very supportive & MFP has helped me stay accountable with what & how much I eat & with my exercise.

    Heather, you can do it girl! I been doing this for a few months and have lost 17lbs. Kapana said it right, this site is awesome. =) I work a FT job plus OT when needed and take care of 4 kids ranging from 15,10,8 1/2 and 5 pretty much FT by myself because my husbands job requires him to travel a lot and also 3 of the 4 kids are in sports, scouts and cheerleading.

    I too struggle to find the time to get my work outs in. Either I get up early before people are awake to work out or sometime in the evening. No matter what time it is I figure Im getting it in. In case I cant do my full work out, I will do a bunch sit ups, squats, jumping jacks, lunges, easy stuff like that before I get into bed-its still some sort of exercise right?

    When I am at work I will walk around the building for 15 mns or more if I can on my breaks or at lunch. If you can find the time between classes or work just try to walk or what ever even if it is 10-15 mns, its a start!

    If you want to add me you can, I will be here to support you in anyway!
