Hello :) I got engaged one year and two days ago- all the wedding plans are set, and now I'm waiting on tenterhooks for my first fitting of the dress I ordered. I had intended to be down already to my ideal weight, but with a change at work, deaths in the family, and just LIFE, it hasn't gotten to be! My wedding is in October, and of course I'd love to slim down, but mostly I want to go into this marriage happy with myself. I was 191, and have struggled down to 168 over the course of a few years, mostly trying to change my habits and diets, find a workout that I'll maintain and enjoy. I THINK I have found the right mix, but I'm also struggling to find community so we can keep each other motivated. Here's to all the brides in 2018!
