Hi Girlies (and a few guys!)
I'm new to the board.. My name is Alyssa, I'm 24, and I have about 60 pounds to lose! My boyfriend and I have picked out an engagement ring and now I'm just (im)patiently waiting to get it - so I have major motivation in the fact that I want to feel healthy and happy on my wedding day. Just wanted to say hello, I'll be in the South Beach boards a lot but I wanted to make some online pals around my age group. Looks like an awesome forum!

Cheers,
Alyssa

Welcome! Good luck. These boards have been really helpful for me. It helps me keep motivation.

I am new too! Welcome! I am in my cousin's wedding in July 2010, and I have 80 lbs. to loose. GO US!

Congrats to the newly engaged!! I feel like I just got engaged and married but my first anniversary is coming up in August so I guess I am part of an old married couple now! Welcome

Welcome!!!!
