I'm glad I found this post before the first weigh-in on September 1st. Today is my first day on CC+. I am 28 years old. I've gained about 10 pounds a year for the past several years. When I started law school, I stopped exercising and began eating a lot of comfort foods, and my portions got out of whack when I started dating my fiance. I was in denial for a long time about my weight gain, but the painful truth has hit me over the past few months. I am 5'5" and 180 lbs. My goal weight is 120 lbs, and I want to reach that weight in 12 months. I am getting married on September 5, 2009, and I think looking good on my wedding day will be a great motivator for me.

Thirty pounds by Christmas is ambitious, but I believe it's achievable for me because I anticipate that the first 30 lbs will come off faster than the last 30 lbs. I look forward to checking in with everyone each Sunday.

See you September 1st!
