Hey everyone - I'm new to MyFitnessPal and I am really excited about using it. I have the app on my new iphone (which I love!) and I'm very dedicated to using it every day. It's very helpful with the reminders. I do have an issue of doing all the exercise that I need to do, so I'm trying to get as much accountability as possible.

If anyone wants to join me in losing weight for a wedding, that would be awesome!!! My wedding is in 104 days (July 1st, 2012) and I hope to lose anywhere from 20-50 pounds. (I know 50 pounds may be pushing it, but I have about 100 pounds to lose to be at my ideal weight). So, this is my plea ---- let's join forces to keep each other accountable and motivated. If you have some weight to lose for your wedding, I'm sure you're going nuts with all the planning for the wedding, LET ALONE trying to look your best for the wedding.... so, let's keep in touch and help each other.

This is the way I see it.... this is the only wedding I will have - so that delicious cheeseburger is not going to help me get to where I want to be for the wedding. What will taste more delicious? Seeing a slimmer you on the wedding day or remembering how delicious that cheeseburger was? I just have to remind myself of that every day!

Who's with me? :laugh:

    I have my wedding planned for March 2013, I will join you in the weight loss. My goal is to be 30 pounds lighter by Sept. 1st and toned by the wedding! I'd love to fit in that size 4 dress that I have had tucked away for the past 10 years. Currently I am a size 10 and 30 pounds over my "'average" weight. We can do this!! I also have the hardest time with sticking to a diet/exercise plan but i know it is the only way to lose the weight and keep it off!

    My favorite "pasta" splurge includes no pasta but instead a tofu substitution. It comes in a bag (Shirataki Noodles) and is a much healthier alternative. Be sure to rinse well and boil on high for just a few minutes (~3) and slather on the Chunky Vegetable Marinara sauce (I even add my own veggies to kick up the vegetable in take). The noodles are cheap too about $2 /bag. They are a little softer than regular pasta but just remember they are healthier!!

    Hi Erin, This is how I started my weight loss journey. I had a year to lose weight for my wedding and I did it on my own and lost 35lb's before and another 30lb's after. I recently started making friends on mfp and the support I have received from everyone is so motivating. Add me if you would like, I'm still trying to lose that last 10lb's!!! Good luck to you :smile:
