in Introduce Yourself
From being a lurker! Hi! I'm Mandy! I'm getting married in a week and lost 60 lbs to fit into my wedding dress that's been in my closet for 6 years! It finally zips! I still have 55 lbs to go. I'm 6ft1 so I've always carried weigh well, but after our 3rd child I packed on so much it would bring me to tears to see my pictures. I finally stepped on the scale and was shocked to see 315. At 9 months I wasn't even that heavy. I was feeling it too. Heart palpitations, running out of breath from one flight of stairs. Not good. I feel better now but trying to get back to probably weight which is 199. I'm currently fluctuating between 255-257. I started last November so it's been about an avg of 5 lbs a month. Slow and steady wins the race right?! Looking for friends to help keep me motivated! Add me and I'll add you back. Together we can do face comparisons and keep each other on our toes!

    Go ahead and add me I am trying to lose weight too. In the last 7 months I've lost over 63 pounds.
    Trying to keep the weight off I want to keep it going off day by day but my body is adjusted to where I'm at right now so I think I'm at a plateau. We can do this together
