Hey my names Kristin and im going to be 21 this September. Ok so heres my story lol....I have been on many diets since im 13 years old....jenny craig once and weight watchers 4 times!!!!!!!. Its not like I didnt have the support but it was forced support and not helpful. And there are a couple of things this year that i need to prepare for. This december me and my friends are going to go to vegas and i need to look decent in a bathing suit. Im not looking for model perfection but just me being comfortable sitting at the pool. And the next big thing is my best friend just got engaged and asked me to be her maid of honor!!!!! Which means i have to squeeze my butt in a dress that i probably wont like or want to wear lol. So I have come up with a plan on just eating healthy and excercising. Almost the same as ww.....so if anyone has any helpful words of wisdom or different ideas they are much appreciated....or if your in the same boat and want to chat that would be great toooo......thnx alot !!!!!!

Hi there.. and welcome.. today is my first day back here after a while as well. first of all KNOW you can do it. I lost 130 pounds and I am alot older then you (I was 39 when I lost it I am 44 now).. the biggest thing is consistancy, support and working out.).. also as far as food goes DON"T skip meals , its the worst thing you can do.. take it ONE day at a time.. when I started losing the biggest piece of advice my trainer gave me was take pictures every 20 pounds I thought at the time this was just silly, I would see it come off but he was right.. I had a little mini photo album.. stood in the same place and took them every 20.. whe it was moving slow I would look at that progression and it really helped.. welcome.. its a fun place!!! We are here for you!
Thnx the picture thing is a great idea.....i just made my friend help me with it....picture is all done .....now i just have to lose my first 20 lolol ( oh and congrats on ur weight loss thats crazy!!!!!!!)
krissy. There is lots of information on this website that has helped me tremendously and everyone is SO supportive and motivating. You're going to do great.
First off, bridesmaid dresses don't HAVE to be horrible!
Second, I'm so glad you found us! There is so much information here, for just about every plan, so look around. You may want to visit the 300 plus or 100 lb clubs, to start, since starting at a higher weight poses its own unique challenges.
Anyway, stick around and keep posting. I can't wait to hear more from you soon!
