A recent pic of me:

I'm 22 years old and getting married this coming August. I have exactly 6 months to lose this weight!

I'd like to lose AT LEAST 25 lbs by my wedding. My long term goal is to lose about 55 lbs.

I'm 5'6" and have always been a little bit chubby. It was not until the last 5 years or so that I put on most of the weight though. Moving in with my boyfriend (now fiance), going to college - I definitely put on much more than the "freshman 15" by eating everything you're not supposed to eat - in excess!

I've lost weight before. A few years ago I lost about 30 lbs by counting calories and working out at the gym 4-5 days a week. It took me about 4 months to drop the weight. I know I can do it again!

I have high hopes this time. I really have no choice BUT to lose this weight as I ordered my wedding dress in a size too small, and can't afford (nor do I have the time) to get another dress. I need to fit into this dress no matter what!

I've joined Weight Watchers online, but am not sure if I'm going to follow the program to a T. I find WW to be a little annoying (having to figure out points all the time) but I still make use of some of the great recipes I get from the site. I think I'm going to focus mostly on calorie intake, as that has worked well for me in the past.
