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!

Hi Amy! Welcome to 3FC

Welcome and good luck on your journey!!

Welcome! Glad to have you join us. Congrats on setting the big date! I can't wait to hear more about your plans. I would like to add that your plan for a healthy lifestyle sounds really great. If you make it a lifestyle change instead of a diet, you will be successful in keeping the weight off.

Blessings,

Hey, Amy. What's good? Hope you enjoy your stay here.

Hi everyone. I am new to this site, but I like it. I am down 16lbs, since last year, but I have a long way to go. Please help.
