Gotta fit in that Wedding Dress

[DisTeacher07]

Hi all! I'm Kristen! I'm 24, a second grade teacher, and have I mentioned that I am engaged to the most wonderful man ever?

Kyle and I met through my best friend at the time, Steve, in 2004. I had just finished my first year of college and he was working in the same complex as me (he has worked for the township road dept. since he was 20, I have worked in the library there since I was 14... 4 years we worked there and we never saw each other!) Just by chance one day he was making overtime painting in the courthouse downstairs and was working the weekend when a child flushed a matchbox car in one of the library toilets. He came up to fix it and said something to Steve (who told him I was like a sister). Steve set us up and here we are 5 years later.... GETTING MARRIED!

We've spent the summer touring venues and saving up. I'm pretty picky (I call it being a perfectionist, but whatever) and when everything was booked for next summer I was a little upset. This, however, gives us more time. More time to save, more time to plan, and more time to lose some weight! We will be getting married on May 21, 2011 (my grandfather's birthday)and honeymooning in Disney (of course!).

So... it's GO TIME

First off, you should know that I'm addicted to Coca Cola (it's bad, my students yell at me all the time). I'm such a hypocrite too... I go on and on about sugary teeth and how unhealthy it is, but walk into my classroom and the fridge is packed with it. I'm really trying hard to break the habit, I've actually encouraged the kids to keep pestering me about it. It's a lesson about how EVERYONE has faults .

My goals are to obviously lose weight and be healthier. I'm trying to cut out Coke all together and generally just make better choices.

Thanks for coming on this ride with me!

I am along for the ride as well - getting married in less tah a year and need to lose at least 70 pounds by then. No pressure!

I just start a PJ last week so I could fit into my wedding dress by next summer.

I have had to totally stop eating sweets. Somebody always has something in the teacher's room and I need to be constantly eating. It is helped when I have grapes, blueberries, hot air poppped corn etc.

You will both look beautiful in your wedding dresses.
