Hi there

[Zooy]

Newcomer here from Port Elgin Ontario.
Here's my story.
In August 08, my dad visited me and we went to the speedway. He wanted Tshirts to celebrate, so he bought two 3XL tshirts in white, mens 3XL! To my surprise, it fit... so the next day I signed up at Curves for Women and the rest is history.
Mid September 08 I had lost no weight, a couple of inches maybe but I was frustrated. I started the weight management program through Curves and in those 6 weeks I lost 25 lbs.
Since August 08 to now, March 09 I have lost 60 lbs! I went from 310 lbs to 250 lbs and can't be any happier.
I am marrying the guy of my dreams in September and am actually worried that I will have lost too much weight and my already paid for, already ordered dress will be too big for me to wear!
I look forward to being a member of the community. I am already a moderator at another weight loss forum but want some variety, and don't worry I won't push our community on you!
Thanks so much for having me!
-Natasha

Hi Natasha,
That is awesome that you have already lost that much weight. I am trying to get my weight off so I will be able to enlist in the Navy by next summer. As for the wedding dress you should be able to have it taken in by a seamstress, that was what I had to do for my formal dress for my sorority. I tried out curves but unfortunately I didn't really care for it. Probably because I want to work out more than just thirty minutes a day, mostly because I am trying to get my strength and endurance up for the military so I usually work out about 2 hours a day about three days a week but I'm hoping to be able to increase that. Welcome to the board and I look forward to getting to you better. Good Luck with everything and congratulations on getting married.
