Hello, My name is Bernadette and I not only need to lose weight but actually feel that I am ready to succeed. I am a 30 year old mom of 1, My boyfriend and I are recently engaged and have a wedding planned for October 22, 2012. I really don't want to be a "FAT" bride on my wedding night.

I want to have another child, and I want to be here to watch my children grow, and to watch my grandchildren grow. Then, there is my son who is an overweight 12 year old.
