I'm Utica, and as you can see from my screen name, I'm a bride to be that's from North Carolina.To be precise, I was born and raised in Charlotte, and I'm marrying my fiance'(who I've been with for 5 years) next August.I fall right into the 'Been big my whole life' category, 'cause there doesn't seem to be a time in my life that I remember not being bigger than everyone.At first it was height(I was already 5'3 in the 3rd grade),but then it was weight, and it's been that way ever since.I was always the 'pretty big girl 'through high school, extremely prissy, well put together,and had a really cute figure despite being a size 22 by the time I graduated.I'm 5'9, so I carried my weight well.But once I got to college, and especially once I left and moved in with my fiance', I blew up.I was a size 24 for the longest, even though I continually gained weight,it just never showed.But in the last year, it's just gotten out of control.And now with my impending wedding, I need all the help I can get.And I think this board can give me the one thing I've never really had,accountability.So that's me in nutshell.
 
Wedding coming up??.....You have 2 things in commom with a couple of the girls on here.....a bride to be....who wants to lose weight. Have no fear you have come to the right place. We are about friendship...truthfullness...and being a support and motivation system.
Start a diary....it really helps...feel free to read ours....also our competition has already started..but we can always stand for a good cheerleader!!!!
Glad you found the forum.....

Oh, I'm glad I found it too.It seems like I've always looked for support, but to have someone who's going through the same struggle is exactly what I need to make it stick.I'm in the newbie vs. oldie challenge, so having the extra edge of competition doesn't hurt a bit.
 
Ohh good!!!!! Your in the challange!!!!...It really helps when you are in something like this. I always imagine my team mates looking over my shoulder when I want to do something that is not healthy...lol....
 
Glad to have you here! Everyone here is great so you will be really happy that you found this site.
 
I'm so glad to be here.I feel like there's a change in me already, knowing that other people will be looking out for me;not judging,but supporting.That's all I think anybody needs to make a new start in life.
 
That is one thing I LOVE about this site. Nobody seems to judge you. They are here to help you and that is what alot of people need, especially since I don't get much support at home. My husband is overweight but he doesn't care, well at least he doesn't seem to care. When he gets on the scale and weighs he just laughs. I am glad that he is happy with himself. I on the other hand am not and am on here on a regular basis because I know people here care and they give me the encouragement to keep going and help me not give up. :)
 
NCBride2be,
We are here for you! I'm also on the green team with you, and I plan to check in at least once a day to try to offer support and to stay motivated. I haven't been on here long either, but it sure does seem like a good place to get support.

What day in August are you planning to get married? My anniversary is the 14th. Next year, it will be 12 years.

GO GREEN TEAM!
 
I can feel the love already! Now my fiance' and I are in the same boat, we're both looking to lose weight before our wedding(which I'm hoping will be the 26th, Hypo :)We're both at a point now where we feel like enough is enough, where before we were happy with each other and that's all we needed.But we want to be able to really enjoy life and travel before we get tied down and start having kids,and we're not able to do that with all this extra baggage.But I do want you guys to know that I'm here for all of you,too.We're going to get through this together.
