    Oh and my goal is February because I want to go dress shopping in January and am hoping to be close to my gw so I don't need to much alterations. Happy Saturday all! 😁

    Congratulations on the upcoming wedding!! The whole journey is so very exciting! Keep us updated...I love hearing about save the dates, photo shoots, and all that fun planning stuff. What style of dress are you thinking?

    Stumbled across these on a cycling channel I've started following the other day. I haven't sampled any of them yet so I can't personally vouch for them. But some do look tempting and I think I'll have to try at least a couple of them.


    OMG - that looks like dessert! Thanks for the vid, I'm so trying these.

    I have restarted this journey so many times I have lost count. We recently moved and I hadn't stepped on the scale in months. Got on it today and I gained 7 lbs since May! Fast food, alcohol, lack of exercise and stress took over the last four months and I have had enough. My ideal weight is a healthy 175 lbs. Most of my clothes are a size 12 and with a new mortgage, a new wardrobe won't be an option for a while lol.

    SW: 205 LBS (before move)
    CW: 212 LBS
    GW: 175 LBS

    Well, here is to making this time count! We are here for each other, we are all in the same boat. You can do this!!

    It's funny how life changes can wreak havoc on our weight. We were affected by Hurricane Harvey last year, it took more than a year to get our home back to pre-Harvey, and my weight was ALL.OVER.THE.PLACE. I would literally lose 10lbs without trying then gain 15lbs by eating fast food/fried food. We are now stable and in our home, back to my healthy routines.

    My ideal weight is around your range too! I just don't even tell people anymore because I dislike that look on their face. No, I do not aspire to be stick-thin. I look and feel my best at a higher weight than what is considering 'normal'.

    Welcome to the group!

    Thanks I'm super excited! I friend requested you and I will post things as they come up. I love the mermaid style, lace backs, and lace halter necklines but I am definitely just going to try things on and see what feels right on me. Idk about "fun stuff" lol it all just seems like so much work. I always just wanted to show up and have a perfect wedding. I guess that's why we've been engaged 9 years 🤣

    I have the same goal as you do. I definitely need to lose at least 40lbs by March. I’m so unhappy with how I look and feel. I’m glad I started playing around with this app and found this discussion. I think it will help to have us motivating each other daily. I’m excited to see where this leads. We got this!!!! Good luck everyone 🤗

    Started in mid July weighing in at 256. To date I am 222. My trainer has me at a goal weight of 140. We have a bet that I will achieve this (another 82 lbs - geesh!!) in April of next year. Pray my strength! lol You can add me as an accountability partner if you wish.

    S.w. 221
    C.w. 219
    G.w. 145-ish
