Hi my name is Michelle and I just got engaged! Put on a few pounds as I got older (47) and I am done with feeling a little chunky!
I will lose 20 lbs before my wedding. Date not set but why wait? I'm starting today! I'm excited!

    Congratulations! I got engaged in January and joined this site for the same reason. I have lost 30 lbs and hit my high school weight! It is a great site, you will love it and be very successful if you follow the advice. Feel free to add me if you need any motivation or wedding chitchat.

    Brian proposed after dinner at the first restaurant we went to by boat. On the way home he was reminiscing....talking to me about how we first met etc. We do this every no and then so I didn't think anything of it. Then he takes out the new camera we bought...again no surprise....and he says go ahead Hon sit at the back of the boat I want to get the sunset behind you.....and I immediately said Hon why don't you set the timer and we can have a picture of both of us......again just like I say very offer because I like pictures of us together....anyway, he sets the timer and instead of sitting next to me he gets down on his knees.
    I was in shock! We had never ever spoke about getting married. I was almost speechless....but I said yes and we both couldn't be happier. Thanks for listening my new friends......:bigsmile:
