Hi guys! I started MFP yesterday and I'm happy to say I actually stuck to my meal plan for the entire day!! AND.....I even did 15 min on my elipticall. Yeah, I know 'just 15 min?" but it's a start right?? I have lots of weight to lose so this is going to be a long journey and though I've said this a million times before THIS time is it!!

I'm getting married next year (yeah me) and the last thing I want to be is a plus size bride. Been there...done that....I want to be able to step into a bridal shop and try on a beautiful gown that doesn't look like a tent!! So, I have a little over a year to get to my goal weight. I hope and pray that with the support of my family AND you guys here I'll be able to achieve my goal and be a beautiful bride.

    Hi, and welcome! You've found a great guide to help you! Just keep your goals in mind and realize your potential and you can accomplish anything.
    Your diet is very important to your goals because it can give you the energy you need and can help curb hunger to assist in your weight loss. GOOD LUCK!!! (Try reading Tosca Reno's "Clean Eating".

    hey laura, if that 02 1967 is your month and yr, we are exactlly the same age. :happy: remember that losing weight at our age gets harder, so try to get some exercise at least 4-5 days a week' "working up to 40-60 min. remember to drink your water, limit the sodium, carbs, and fat and get plenty of protien and fiber.
    YOu are in the best place to help you make it this time. I just love to read the posts and get new tips and info all the time. the food logs and exercise logs really help me monitor myself and it keeps me motivated and "honest" :wink:
    So good luck and " keep your eye on the prize" that wedding dress will be beautiful and you have plenty of time to reach your goal.
    also try to set yourself up some mini goals, it helps me. I'm halfway to mine and then I'll re adjust to my next goal.
    :drinker: good luck
