Thank you @mom23mangos! I don't have a lot of friends my size, so I appreciate your input.

Strength training is a good suggestion. Thank you. Usually I don't mind the slow progress, but the thought of being embarrassed of my body on my wedding day is weighing on me (pun only slightly intended). I don't want a "crash diet" or a magic pill, I am willing to put in the time and effort. But even pushing it to 1.5 lbs…

Good question. I think so. I asked my fiance to do some "before" photos in the morning for motivation. So I can post one then.
