Hi all! My name is Jannah, im 27 years old, a full-time university student (studying a BA in primary education), getting married in 9 weeks and 5 days, AND looking to lose some weight!

I have a lot of weight to lose (39.5kg or 87lb), and know in 9 weeks i will be lucky to make a small dint in this, but i am still going to try! I have lost 10kg earlier this year, but have been gaining and losing the same 2kg for the past 6 months and it is making me crazy! :sad: Hoping my new found motivation and MFP discovery will help me break this cycle!

I believe that a huge element of successful weightloss is support from people in a similar situation, both to celebrate your successes and to seek support through 'failures'...

...so, i am here seeking new MFP friends! :happy:

    I wouldnt say you could make it all the way, but if you stick with it, you could easyily lose 30-40 pounds! Add me if youd like, Im a full time college student too, and Ive lost 20 pounds using MFP in the past 42 days

    I am hoping that is just an old picture, you don't look like you need to lose 87 lbs. You can add me if you like for support and encouragement. :)
