New here! : )

Hey all! I'm trying to get my profile and friends list going as I try to stay motivated! I got divorced about a year and a half ago and joined Weight Watchers and was VERY successful, but then met the love of my life and gained every pound back...now wedding bells are ringing and it's time for me to feel good about myself!

I would love to get some connections going and make some friends for accountabilty and venting!

    Hello! I'm a newbie in the same boat. Planning a wedding is like a second full time job. Staying healthy has been put on the back burner while I slave away at my career. Lets just say I could use a friend to help with modivaiton. When is your big day?

    Hey there! No set date here, mid 2013! I know what you mean about the backburner though, I've been working so many hours that it's so easy to just grab fast food and shovel it down and pretend it never happened!

    I absolutly agree! I commute over an hour to and from work everyday and lets just say by the time I get home I could care less about healthy and focus on quick and easy.

    Aww honey there's always hope! I'm only 24 and I was married for almost 5 years...I thought my life was over...on top of being over weight I was depressed and lonely. My saving grace was finding the courage to get my butt up, lose the weight (initially) and fall in love all over again. Have faith!

    Same here! And I find it so easy to fall back into the routine of "cheap and fast"...like even if I take the time to cook it's still not healthy...so I'm having to make a definite lifestyle change. I need to find less expensive way of healthy grocery shopping!

    Planning a wedding and getting in shape to look good for ours (April 21st, 2103) was my initial goal. Now it is pride and determination that keeps me going! (Although, I have to say trying on my dress and realizing that already I need to get it altered smaller wasn't too bad! Feel free to add me!!

  • Hello there,
    My name is Maryann and I just left the work nurse and I need to get motivated to eat better for myself as well as for the family. I am a nurse and have really let myself go. Help me get on the right path and stay away from the junk.
