My name is Tessa

I am 22 years Old and have never tried eating right or exercising in my life! I'm also a notorious quitter when the goings get rough :(

in October 09 my boyfriend (soul mate, partner, love of my life i don't know boyfriend sounds to typical) of 4 years proposed! and became my fiancee!!! Yay :)

I'm planning a whole interfaith, semi traditional, ultra fun, ultra us, ultra modern wedding all by myself, and I have my heart set on one dress out of thousands i haven't found one that compares, thing is it won't look so good with the extra flab so I decided to work out and try to eat right, I'm not aiming for skinny, just not as fat if that makes sense.

Perfect wedding dress aside I would love to loose some weight since my fashion sense has always been based on what is just stunning I'll look even better in my other dresses to! I wouldn't mind the being healthy side effect that comes with it either :)

Problem is I've suffered severe hip back neck and shoulder pain since I was young so I've never really been active ever .... and I'm a glutton for good food I've lived my life by eat what you like and like what you eat and it's kept me pretty happy!

Getting into exercise was not to difficult, I'm doing like 90% fun stuff since I decided as a side effect this will help improve my stamina so I don't run out of breath when dancing, or so that I can run and catch that bus or train!

Eating right is a different story, not only do i LOVE good food but I'm also not financially stable which makes eating healthy quite the challenge but I'll keep on trying!

I got till Jan 2011 to be in a good shape for my dress fittings and a lifetime to stay healthy ahead of me.

Besides that I love reading, learning, my man, my cats, my mom, and my family and friends more than anything!
