Hello all! I'm Sheeba; 25/f/cali. I just started mfp and i would really like some support! There are MANY reasons I'm trying to lose weight! Health/ clothes/ energy/ vegas clubs/ & wedding (meaning bachelorette parties, honeymoon in hawaii, engagement photo shoots/ & wedding day!!) My wedding is on 8/25/12 and I am desperate to lose weight! One of my bridesmaids told me about MFP after I told her how scared I was to be a fat bride. This wedding is costing me waaaay too much money for me not to have a good time (uncomfortable being in my wedding dress and taking pics). She had started using MFP on 1/1/12 and told me to add the app on my phone. Although she had told me about this a week ago, I spent the last few days logging in but always going over my cal count and always finding a daily reason not to exercise. After looking at wedding dresses tonight, I decided it was def a time for a change if I wanted to lose weight in time for my 8/25/12 wedding! My fiance definitely deserves a sexy bride!! Although he is fit and healthy, he understands my struggles and helps me with my challenge in any way he can so I want to lose weight not only for myself, but also for my fiance. I am starting my mission as of 1/14/11. SW: 252

I'd love to make friends for support and encouragement. Add me if you'd like! :)

    Congratulations! I am also an August bride 8.3.12

    My advice is to track and work to be a healthy bride but don't stress! The pounds will come off if you take care of yourself but you don't need the added stress of the numbers on the scale :o)

    (my job is very stressful and my doctor said the stress is contributing to my difficulty losing weight)

    Hi! I'm also a Bride-to-Be! The wedding is quickly approaching -- August 12th, 2012. I feel pretty good about how I look in my wedding dresses now (one full-length gown, one short reception dress) but what I'm really focusing on is our honeymoon in Hawaii! I REALLY want to feel good about myself on the beach. I have 7-8 more pounds to go until I'm at goal.

    Future brides feel free to add me so we can cheer each other on. xoxoxo
