My daughter is getting married in May, but it's on a beach in the Domician! I have to loose weight so I don't look like a whale on the beach!!! I'm dreading the week away because I'll have to wear a bathing suit and a dress!!! UGH

I wish you luck Huni, and I know your struggles...

Your not alone )

Thank you. My daughter got married on the beach a year ago this past August. Fortunately I was too busy before the wedding to wear a bathing suit and I was too exhausted after to care who saw me in my bathing suit. Although I was small when I got married my husband still tells me all the time that I'm beautiful. I have never been this big. Fortunately by starting now I have time to loose the 50 needed to be ideal. Thank you all for the encouragement!

Fortunately my son gave me a heads up. He's planning on proposing in July and marrying in December. They have been talking about it and she knows, she just doesn't know when. She's the one that picked December. That gives me 10 months to loose 50 pounds.

I know the feeling, I myself am getting married on August 8th, and I'm terrified that I'll look like an absolute balloon in my wedding dress (which I haven't even picked yet lol).

I'm sure you won't look like a balloon. LOL!! When I was with my daughter while she was picking out her dress I was amazed at what they have for ladies with wight they want to camouflage. Of course my daughter was a size 4. I wish they had stuff like that for the mothers

You can do it. Eat less and move more.
Walking is a great place to start.

Thank you. This app is a good start. I didn't realize how bad I ate. I can make better choices and eat more but not kill my calorie intake. Because it's on my phone I have it with me all the time making it easier to do my diary.

I sent you a friend invite.

I quit using this app for a while. My doctor referred me to a dietician due to elevated liver enzymes. I'm apparently not eating enough and the one time a day I usually eat is stressing my liver. She told me to increase my intake and suggested this app to keep a diary. I'm having to set alarms on my phone to remind me to eat. Let's see how this round goes. Today is day 1 of my journey and along with bringing down my A1c and my liver enzymes I also still have 50 pounds to loose!!

Thanks. I believe that's what I'll do.
