I'm Sherry and I'm 35 years old and engaged to my boyfriend of almost 7 years. Kyle proposed on Mother's Day, May 10, 2009! I have a 13 year old son, Travis, who is the coolest kid on the planet. It means so much to me to become the weight I was when I met Kyle, so my goal is to lose this 39 pounds by the time our wedding day rolls around on 11/6/10 and to fit into my dream wedding gown in a size 12 or below on our special day! There's nothing like being a bride to be that'll get you ...

I'm Sherry and I'm 35 years old and engaged to my boyfriend of almost 7 years. Kyle proposed on Mother's Day, May 10, 2009! I have a 13 year old son, Travis, who is the coolest kid on the planet. It means so much to me to become the weight I was when I met Kyle, so my goal is to lose this 39 pounds by the time our wedding day rolls around on 11/6/10 and to fit into my dream wedding gown in a size 12 or below on our special day! There's nothing like being a bride to be that'll get you thinking you need to get into shape asap because all you can think of is a. the look on his face when he sees you in that dress b. that dress looking the best as possible on your body c. the pictures of your dream wedding to your dream man looking the best you can look for him and yourself!

I want to meet my goals by being the waist size, BMI and weight that I should be! I'm 5 feet tall and have put on 35 pounds since turning 30 and since I quit smoking (on 12/24/04) and since I started living with my boyfriend in May of 2006. It didn't help matters that I was laid off from my dream job of 7 years in April of 2007. I was depressed and ate to feel better and ate out way too much to not deal with having to cook or clean or think about anything else but food and sleep.

I'm teaching myself and my family healthier eating habits so that we can all adjust together to the positive changes we are making in our family.

We changed our date from March 2010 to Fall 2010 in order to have our fairy tale dream wedding at the Texas Renaissance Festival in November 2010. This allows us time to save some money for the engagement ring (of my dreams), the wedding and the honeymoon. My main goals for being healthy for my wedding are to get an engagement ring I love, a wedding dress I love and a a honeymoon I will enjoy and not worry about the bathing suit I'm going to be in on the beach! We also wanted the extra time for planning the wedding and to get healthy!

I know that I have enough time and no excuse to not lose this 35-40 lbs. I have the motivation I need to get serious and real about my relationship with food and my emotional eating. I HAVE to take control and be consistent and give myself time AND credit. And, I MUST be able to wear a normal size wedding dress in at least a size 10 or lower to look my best at our magical and beautiful fairy tale wedding. I can do this for me and him! I have a trainer that supports me and an an amazing man and kids and friends and family!

I CAN DO THIS!!!!!!!!!!!! I WILL DO THIS!!!!!!!!!!!
