Hey everyone!

I've always struggled with my weight since being a teenager but after recently getting engaged I'm determined to look good in my wedding dress! It's going to be hard work and I know it's going to take me a long time which is why I've joined MFP!! Looking for friends to add to help motivate each other and share ideas :)

    Don't try to lose two pounds a week. You will be hungry all the time and won't succeed. Go with a pound a week, cut out the junk food, count the calories, and EXERCISE. Start slow. I climb two flights of stairs a day, and I have lost 8 pounds in one week!

    Congrats on the engagement!!

    That's great that you feel so motivated! I have just as much weight to lose so I understand where you are coming from. I hope to shed a lot of weight before I graduate from the university next year. :)

    Congrats! I too have been shaping up to fit in my braid maid's dress. Am I at my goal weight? No, but I know my boyfriend and I are serious and have talked about engagement, so I want to look good for pictures and eventually the big deal. Feel free to add!
