Hi I'm Lauren, 26 from Cleveland, OH.

Getting married Oct 2!

I've just been lazy and eating junk, the negative of living with a boy. Hoping that keeping track of what I eat and exercising will help, I need to go down a couple sizes! My dress just came in so that's big motivation!

Hi my name is Jessica. I'm 23 and live outside of Cleveland OH.

I'm getting married April 24th!!!!! Woohoo! :)

My fiance and I have 3 kids together 3, 2, and 7 months. That is where the majority of my extra weight has come from. So, I want to lose really as much as possible at this point, but in total 50ish pounds.

Hi! My name is Shannon, I'm 21 and I live and go to school in Nacogdoches, TX at Stephen F. Austin State University. I'm getting married August 13, 2011 in my hometown of Excelsior MN!

I was a competative figure skater in high school, and that kept me thin, but the last 2.5 years of college without skating, and with good old fashioned southern food, I've packed on over 40lbs!

My goal is to lose that 45lbs by August of this year, so I can go wedding dress shopping!

Hi, Sorry I'm a little late with my intro here...
I'm Amanda.. I'm 26 and getting married October 10, 2010.
I've been a member of Sparkpeople since April. I have a lot to lose and I've been doing great with exercising lately. I need to get back on track with my food. I've always been pretty active so my food habits weren't as big a problem as the past few years when I started working a fairly sedentary job and stopped working out. I give in too many times when I come home from work and my fiance says 'Let's just order Thai food tonight' lol ... I don't like cooking, which I'm trying to change.
Although the pounds aren't coming off yet, I am waay fitter. I actually feel strong, healthy, and energetic, so that's a good first step!
Feel free to add me as a friend! I need all the motivation I can get!

Hello fellow weddingbookers, and sparkpeoplers.. I am Tiffany and I am 22 and I will be getting married June 4th 2011. I am trying to loose weight because I have just let my weight get out of control in the past few years... and I like to be in control of my life and my body, so I am working on getting that control back! Good luck to everyone, and I look forward to sharing this journey with all of you!

HI!! I am Sarah, and I am 26yrs old. During highschool and college I was a cheerleader so I was always thin, but I graduated from college 3 years ago and have packed on some extra pounds. I never realized until now how much cheerleading keeps you in shape! I am getting married in May 2010 and would like to get my body back.

Hey everyone! My name is Michelle, I am 23 (soon to be 24) and I live in Ontario. My fiance, Dave, and I are getting married June 25th, 2011. I started this early because I wanted to make this more of a lifestyle change rather than a quick fix and then fall off the wagon after the wedding and the honeymoon. I figure if I can change my habits now and stick with them for the next year and half, I'll be ok through the wedding and honeymoon process and will avoid that "ugh I gained 10lbs in two weeks" fiasco. Thanks for creating this team! 2 of my favourite sites :)

I'm Katie from Bloomington, MN. I'm 24 years old and getting married November 6, 2010. I'm happy to have the support of all you ladies on the team. I'm hoping that doing this with people that are in the same boat as me will keep me motivated.

Hi everyone! I'm Olivia, 24 (turning 25 in a few months) and am getting married August 7th, 2010. After moving to a new city where the only person that I knew was my fiance and i didn't yet have a job, I allowed myself to slack and gain wait. Additionally I had also quit smoking a few months before that, so that may be some of the reason for th weight gain. Anyway, I want to be healthier and lose the weight that I have gained so I can feel better about myself. One of my goals is to also run a half marathon sometime next year. Hopefully I will be able to accomplish these things!

Hi guys, I'm Shayla, 25, and getting married July 31, 2010. According to my Wii Fit, I am past the Obese BMI but I'm lucky enough to have none of the health problems that come with that - no diabetes, no high blood pressure (I've actually been told its kinda low), no high cholesterol. HOWEVER! I do have a one year old daughter and I don't want her to grow up watching me battle my weight the way I watched and continue to watch my mother. The hardest part right now for me is that I've come to terms with how I look, and I'm not completely sure I want to look the way I did in highschool... I'm sure I'll get over it :P Now that I've blethered on forever! Time to get to work!!!

Hi, I'm Amanda. I am trying to lose weight to make sure I am in tip top shape. My doctor and I talked about me losing weight, and she told me it may be very difficult because of some of my medications. I take 2 different steroid inhalers, but also birth control to keep me stabilized. She said she doesn't know if it is possible for me to lose weight, but that regulating my diet etc. is the best way to at least stay healthy. I hope I can help keep everyone else motivated and stay positive!

Hi there. My name is Kristi and I'm 32. I'm getting married March 26th 2011. I'm extremely overweight and need to do something. Its very difficult to change everything you have done for your whole life to make yourself healthier but I'm ready to learn how to do that for myself, my fiance (who is also on spark), and for my 2 daughters.
