I am 25/f and engaged!  The wedding planning has motivated me to get my weight loss back on track and get my butt back to the gym.  Over the past 5 years, I have been involved in weight loss programs (Jenny craig, weight watchers, personal training) and had some success at times.  Yet, I had soem serious family problems interfere with my weight loss progress (mother and grandfather- my father figure- passed away, my little brother involved in substance abuse, my grandmother sick, my uncle terminally ill- just a bunch of stuff).  I don't like to make excuses, but I tended to put others first and myself last for a long time.  Also, I suffered from emotional eating for a long time- which thankfully I have had under control for the past 2 yrs.  I eat pretty healthily (very little eating out, which was a diet sabotager in the past!) and exercise 5x/week.  I am super excited about starting my new life with my fiance (who is absolutely amazing- we have been together for over 8 years) and making myself a priority :)

Current weight- 136

Short term goal weight- 130 by May

 Long term goal weight- 125 by August

I plan to weigh in each week to keep me on track (I have grown somewhat scared of the scale but it is a truly honest motivational tool!)
