Hello everyone, I am new to this forum and so far I feel very welcomed. I havent ever tried reaching out to strangers for support but its very uplifting.

My name is Amy. Ive been with my fiance for 3 wonderful years and in that time of happiness i put on about 25 pounds. (it snuck up on me).
our recent engagement pictures got me realizing that i need to lose weight. Im 5'7 and I weight 171 right now. so far on my journey I have lost 7 lbs

i think im losing more in inches which is also a good feeling.
we set a date for march of next year and we are so excited. I want to be a beautiful healthy bride. I am not taking diet pills or doing anything extreme. I am simply working out daily and eating proper foods. no more soda or fried foods. its getting easier to ignore my sweet tooth everyday.
I know this is long and hopefully some of you are in my same shoes. I would like to hear your story no matter how long it is! Hope everyone is staying strong!
