    You really shouldn't eat under 1200 calories for any period of time, certainly not for 3 straight months. It will be incredibly stressful on your body and fatiguing if you manage to stick to it, and leave you in no condition to actually enjoy the wedding.

    Set your goal to 2 lbs per week if you must, and eat ALL the calories MFP gives you. Focus on getting enough protein, fat, and fiber.

    You also need to take into consideration when you need your dress fitted by. I'd suggest switching to 1 lb per week a month before the wedding. Not only for the dress, but if you are eating very few calories and then get to the wedding and you're dancing, drinking, eating etc you will be in danger of either making yourself sick or passing out. Happened to a bride I know.

    Crash dieting for a quickly approaching event almost always backfires. Lose at a reasonable pace, take good care of yourself, and enjoy the celebration. Then keep making progress afterward in a smart way and hopefully you'll never have to "diet" for an event again :drinker:
