Off to a Good Start!

Hi everyone! My name is Amanda. I am getting ready to graduate from college in May. I am also planning my wedding for October of this year. I have struggled with my weight since highschool, and, after seeing a picture of myself with my fiance's sister at her wedding, I decided that I needed to actually start trying(picture attached). I am going to the Weight Loss and Wellness Clinic in Statesville, NC and am on HCG shots and appetite suppressants under the supervision of the doctor there. I started a week ago at 275 pounds and am currently at 263 pounds. My goal is 150 pounds, but I really don't care about what the scale says, my measurements are what matter. I got a beautiful wedding dress on sale about a month ago, and it's a size 12, so that is my goal(pictures attached). I am 5' 9" by the way, and my bone structure is nowhere near petite, so if I get below 150 I look sickly. Anyhow, it's nice to be here, and I look forward to getting and giving support.
