Hi all! I've been off this forum for a while, but I am ready to get back on the weight loss train. I'm getting married in May of next year, and I'm planning on going wedding dress shopping with my sister in October. She and I are both losing weight, both in the 190s right now. I would like to be in the 160s when I go shopping, and in the 150s by my wedding day. There is no way that I would even go shopping at this weight - so I'm looking forward to my wedding, but I'm just nervous about my goals. It is entirely feasible for me to lose 8-10 pounds each month, for the next 3 months, but I need to make a lot of good choices. Counting my calories every day. Treating exercise like my occupation. Not having that extra glass of red wine, and mostly, none at all. And I need to remind myself every day that I will be disappointed in myself if I didn't live that day toward my favorite goal right now: being a beautiful, fit, bride. I would love some encouragement from my fellow weight loss buddies on 3 fat chicks!
