Hi!

I'm 23 and have tried every quick-fix and fad just to get bigger everytime! I have to do it this time, I'm getting married in less than 18 weeks, I don't aim to reach goal by then but I've bought my dress and need to lose 2 dress sizes for it to look good.

I started my day by hitting the treadmill so I feel positive right now but need all the help and inspiration you have to offer to keep me motivated and on track, I'm done being the fat one, I have to do this for me and my family!

I have a nice calendar on my wall where I write down my weight every morning, love looking and seeing my progress.

And, remember if you have cravings for any junk think you can have them after the wedding, July is not so far off..it will be worth it!

Thanks happynottsgirl! I'm off to town now to buy a notebook to write it all down to follow my progress. I'll have more to lose after the wedding but you're right I can enjoy anything I've been missing for a few days afterwards

big bride! Good luck with all your goals and your wedding! What kind of dress do you have?

Welcome and good luck with your weight loss journey And congratulations on the wedding, how exciting, I hope all the plans are coming together well

thanks both

My dress has a sweetheart neckline, boned corset and rouching to hide my stomach and give me a waist, also a bit of sparkle. It's too small right now so I have to lose the weight!! X
