Anyone else getting fit for their wedding day?

Hi everyone! I've been on and off MFP since about 2013. I initially lost 20 pounds that I needed to lose, ever since then I have mostly maintained but I've come back here a couple of times when my weight starts fluctuating again. (Went through law school, put about 15 pounds back on... lost it again though!)
Anyway, I got engaged a few months ago and I'm getting married in September of this year! I'm so excited! I'm currently weighing about 129; I was 125 but then I put on some weight over the holidays. I would like to be about 120 by my wedding and feel my absolute best! I'm focusing on counting my calories and working out each day with a mix of cardio and weight lifting.
I would love to add some friends who have similar goals! Please feel free to send requests my way We can do this!

Hey girl!!! I just sent you a request!!
I’ve seen a couple of these wedding support groups but with very little responses or active members! My name is Samantha and I’m a senior in college right now! Engineering major!
I’m about 5’5 and a half and right now I’m at 141 but would really like to aim to be 125 for my wedding day on August 10, 2019! That’s about 0.5 a pound a week which I think is totally achievable!! I have fluctuated between about 160 down to 134 in 2015 but have been stuck consistently in the 140s for awhile. I want to lose the weight slowly so that it stays off and I don’t have to hate every moment of 2019 and dieting. I exercise regularly (around 6x a week) doing either barre, yoga or Beachbody workouts at home.
I eat about 1650 during the week and 1950 on the weekends. I struggle with binge eating disorder if I am in too much of a defecit! I also allow myself one cheat meal a week (usually McDonalds 😂😂) because it’s my favorite as long as it stays within my calories.
