in Introduce Yourself
I have been heavy all my life but in the last 3 years it has gotten out of control, i'm talking gaining 100+ pounds in 3 years. This last fall I became engaged to my best friend in the world! But I am terrified to plan our big day because i'm scared of not being able to get the dress I want or not having the energy to dance all night but especially I am horrified to see the hundreds of photos that will be taken that night. I am just getting started on this journey and know myself enough to know that I most likely will fall off the wagon around week 2 without a friend there for support and of course mutual support! So if anyone out there is going through something similar or just needs someone to help them through the journey I am here!

    I am in a similar situation! I too am marrying my best friend in just 18 weeks. In total I would love to lose 50-60lbs. But for now hoping for at least 20lbs by August. I hope I am not being unrealistic. I have been only following MFP strictly for 5 Days, but I am down 6lbs already.
    You can do this! Let's try not to fall off the wagon ;)

    Hi I am looking to lose about two stone. I have tried on and off but not been disciplined enough. Would gladly support you both to help you achieve your goals. Add me and let's do this together, I could do with the moral support too x

    I would like to be supportive. I have been married for almost 6 years and when i got married they had to let my dress out at the fitting and I was horrified. That's probably a brides worst nightmare so I understand what you guys are going through. My hubby's not doing this with me and is a bad influence so I could use some good support myself. I need to lose 30-40 lbs. Let's do this together!! P.S. My profile pic is a "portrait of mom" my son did at kindergarten. In case you were wondering. I know I would be! Lol!!

    My husband is not doing this with me either. It makes it harder for sure. Especially when he calls to ask if I want drive-thru and brings home ice cream constantly!!
