hi everyone!! I am finally getting off my @$$ and losing this weight! In 2008 I was 154 and I LOVED myself! In 2008 I met my husband and we got married on May 7 this year! Needless to say I have packed on the pounds since (what I like to call love weight!) well, I want to look good again since I have let myself go and my hubby and I want to have a baby so I am going to do this! I want to lose 20 pounds by May 7, 2012 and be healthy and fit for the baby to come!! So, with that said I will be posting again on December 30, 2011. This is my third day following MFP to the tee and I plan on staying with it!! Good luck and will power to everyone!!! See ya'll in a month! :-)

    My cooking has changed dramatically and am loving the grilled fish, blackened chicken, grilled zuccinni and soups. The salads are getting old though.

    I marinate bonless skinless breasts in fat free Italian dressing for a couple of days and also marinate zuccinni the same in a seperate container. when I get ready to grill the chicken I sprikle it liberally with blacking seasoning and grill it until done without over cooking it and drying it out. I grill the zuccinni which was sliced length wise about a third of an inch well done and have a salad with it and that is one of our weekly meals every week. Hope that helps and feel free to add me if you want and my wife mainjane we are in this for our first month and failure is not an option with us. Scott

    This story sounds familiar. When I met my husband (6 years ago) I was around 165. When we got engaged I was up to 195, I called that "happy weight". For our wedding (July 22nd, 2011) I got back down to 160, and now 4 months later I am up to 168. I also want to lose weight so I'm fit and healthy for when we have a baby in the next few years! Good luck, I'm quite sure you can lose 20 pounds by May!
