Hi Bees,

I'm getting married on March 21st 2014 and am looking for friends on MFP! I'm aiming to lose about 25lbs between now and then. I'm a slow loser but have 40 weeks do do it so have high hopes.

Wedding: Friday March 21st

Height: 179cm (5'9 ft)

Current: 160

Goal 1: 150

Goal 2: 135

40 weeks to lose 25 pounds seems possible, even for me!

    YAY! i'm sure you can lose 25lbs in 40 weeks. i'm sure you'll start feeling even better just after you hit your first goal. :)

    my wedding date is June 14, 2014! so about a year away now.

    started getting serious about 2 months ago now...
    height: 5'6(and a half!)
    starting weight when i began MFP: 152
    current weight: 136!
    goal weight: 125 (but we'll see how i feel at 130)

    Awesome! I really think it's a good idea to have lots of mini goals rather than just one big goal. I might even break mine down again so there are more than two goals. Makes it easier I think :)

    Yay a 2014 board!

    Here's my info:

    Current: size 18-20 (I'm not going to look at weight number, I'm going to look at size)

    Ultimate Goal: size 10-12 (even though I ordered my dress in a street size 18)

    Hi everyone! We're getting married February 1, 2014, but my goal weight is an eventual goal, not necessarily a "by the wedding" goal.

    Height: 5'3.5"
    Weight when I started MFP on April 1, 2013: 211
    Current weight: 193
    Goal weight #1: 150
    Goal weight #2: 135

    I'm planning on starting alterations in October. I ordered my dress in a 16W. I didn't even realize it was a plus size dress...I just loved it. I've already lost inches off of my waist (not sure how much since I didn't measure when I started). I love MFP since I never have to feel hungry!

    I'm in too!
    I already ordered my dresses. One for the wedding and one for the reception.
    I am a dress size 20-22 and ordered my dress in an 18 with the hopes of being able to zip it all the way up when I get it around the end of November. Hopefully I will be able to lose enough to have it taken in more. :)

    I'm getting married on August 16th 2014. When the time comes to walk down the aisle I hope to be 50 lbs lighter.

    My starting weight is 216.9
    My first goal is 200
    Second goal is 180
    and my third for the wedding is 170. (hey if I can make it to below 170 even better!)

    I don't intend to stop there though. My ultimate goal is 125 or so. I just want to fit back into my size 7 junior jeans. :)

    Hi bees!
    My wedding date : July 25
    My current weight : 143
    My goal: 125 to start

    I have tried this before and it really worked until 1 day I gave up and stopped it all. I'm looking for friends to motivate me! Please add :)

    I'm about two months late to this party.. but I'm excited to find a Wedding Bee board! I need more bride friends, so if anyone sees this please add me! :)

    My wedding date is July 19 and I haven't even looked at dresses yet. We're hopefully going to look in mid-December, so I want to try to lose 10 lbs or 2% body fat by the time I try on dresses! My long-term goal is 25 lbs or more and/or 8% body fat. I'm at 160 lbs and 29% body fat right now.

    Hi Bees!

    I think I already have some of you as friends but please add me!

    I'm 5'4 and currently 155lbs
    I'd like to be 135lbs for the wedding
    May 17, 2014

    I call myself a bottom heavy hourglass. I'm not really a pear, but I have too much hip to really be an hourglass. No matter what weight I've been my proportions have remained pretty much the same.

    I'm literally just starting to lose a teensy bit of weight for my June 7 wedding since the seamstress already let me dress out all the way. :angry:

    Wedding: June 7, 2014

    Height: 5' 7"

    Current Weight: 150lbs

    Goal Weight: 130-135lbs

    I've never tried to lose weight before so I'm glad to have the motivation! I know I can't lose that much before June but I just want to shed a bit before the wedding and the weight listed above is my goal for the future. :)

    Ahh alterations are what I'm most nervous about!! You've got enough time before June to make a little bit of a change - in my experience, it goes quickly at first and then plateaus a little if you're making major diet/exercise changes.

    Feel free to friend me if you want!

I've been good about losing 25 lbs over the 2 yr engagement and i would like to lose just 5-8 more lbs if possible. Add me as a friend - I'm always looking for support :)

    STARTED: 150 lbs (5'3")
    CURRENT: 128
    GOAL: 121-125
