Hi Guys -
New here, but couldn't help wanting to join in, the attitude and environment of this thread is refreshing!
I've struggled with my weight my whole life, i'm an unhealthy weight, and i'm unhappy about it, and it's time to take some action! I'm getting married in June, and i don't feel beautiful when i look at myself in my wedding dress in the mirror, i see the extra weight, and nothing else. I don't want to look back and hate all of my wedding photos, or be uncomfortable my entire honeymoon because i'm too self conscious to wear shorts/tank tops/swim suits (and it's at Disney in JUNE, what was i THINKING!)
I'm an emotional eater, thats one of the big problems, i eat when i'm stressed and nervous, which planning a wedding, paying off my car, and my fiance's astronomical student loans off means i'm stressed 100% of the time. And while i love my job, i'm usually sitting, and 2.5 years ago when i was in college, i was walking miles and miles each day just running from one end of campus to another, so i could eat less than perfectly and actually lost some weight. Unfortunately, my eating habits stayed the same, and i was slammed into a sedentary office job..... not good for my waistline! I need to really put some effort into working out, eating healthier so i'm not only healthier, but happier. And i need some support, i have no will-power! So here we go, i'm crossing my fingers! Can't wait to get to know everyone!
Welcome!!!!
I so understand the trials of what I call the office chair butt spread syndrome. I too was able to lose some weight in college, but got the office job after and have been up and down ever since.
What is your plan for losing before the wedding? Some of us here do South Beach, others do WW, I do plain old calorie counting.
i know i know, i'm like a five year old, but to this day i literally have to choke them down, i don't get it!
I can't tell you how much this thread and how much WISH has helped me!
) but I just jumped on the Weight Watchers band wagon, so I'll be updating people on how it's going.
) and I swear that my a$$ is conforming to the chair seat....Plus, just being in my own home, with the frdige and kitchen right here, etc....it has its own set of challenges.
I set up an account on fitday to track what i'm eating, I'm actually excited to start, i almost wish i didn't have to wait for my treadmill to get here! Sticking to the manual treadmill until then (below zero windchill is TOO darn cold to go walkin!) Hopefully i'll be able to lose a little weight before its time for me to be a 
and want to cook bad food!
