    Getting married September 2014, I'd been going strong right before the engagement (I knew it was coming). Then I got sidetracked with celebrations, trips. Bought the dress, no more fooling around, time to get back on track. I'm looking to lose 10-15 lbs for the big day.

    My wedding is January 22, 2014!! Been having such a hard time losing weight so it's been really disheartening. Gluten intolerant for about 4 months now, looks like I am one of those unlucky people whose body is absorbing everything instead of dropping weight. Been doing weight watchers the last 4 weeks with no loss. Going back to calorie counting as I know it's worked for me in the past. I am 5'8'' and 159 lbs. Would love to be around 140 buy my wedding day but I don't think it's going to happen :( Getting married in the Bahamas!!

    Congrats to all the Brides! I'm a bride getting married April 26th, 2014. I just restarted MFP after a while away in hopes of losing a few pounds before the big day. I haven't even bought my dress yet (going shopping next week) because I have been terrified of the trying them on. Im about 5ft 9 and my goal is to be down about 25 pounds on the big day but we will see. Congrats everyone and good luck!

    I am not getting married but am a bridesmaid and have a lot to lose by May 2013. I had my dress fitting at the end of September (before I started to lose weight) and have lost about 15 lbs so far..but I am hoping to lose another 40 by then..I know that seems like a lot but it just has to be done! I just hope that they can alter the dress enough so I won't need another dress! I am trying not to stress over it...at least it's not MY Wedding, I just do not want to dissapoint my family..The wedding has over 350 guests!! Good luck to you!

    Just have to share...I picked up my wedding gown yesterday...it got here two months earlier than it was supposed to (Yay!??)

    Backstory:
    I know bridal sizes run small...so I was expecting to have to order a "bigger" size than what I actually am (I have gone from a size tight 14 to between a size 10/12 in regular clothes and I am still going!). They only had a size 10 to try on and it was definitely too small...but even being too small it made me bawl like a baby when I saw it on. It was THE ONE! When the consultant measured me to order, she told me I would be a very tight 14 and did I want to order up another size. I told her about my weightloss journey and decided to order the 14 anyway knowing I was going to continue to lose weight. Got the whole lecture of" it is easier to alter a a gown down than it is up"...blah blah blah...wasn't about to let this lady talk me out of it. (The statistics of people who order a gown that is too small and end up having to have the gown altered up which is much more difficult and expensive is apparently high)

    When I went with my MOH to pick it up I got to try it on again...not only did the "very tight" 14 zip...IT WAS LOOSE! I had at least two inches of give in the bodice!

    BEST NSV EVER! Alterations don't start for about 5 more months so I fully plan to be waaay closer to my goal weight by then before I have to pause losing before the wedding.

    Let's do this ladies!!!!

    Hi ladies! Another summer 2014 bride here. So excited to see we're all in it together and there's so much progress going on here! You're all going to look and feel great. :) I've been off and on with mfp and my fitbit for the past several months, but it's time to for me to really buckle down. I am determined to lose 25 pounds before the big day. Lately I've been doing Jillian Michaels' Ripped in 30 and really loving the way it makes me feel, even though I haven't lost any weight yet...that's kind of freaking me out! Tomorrow I start on Body Revolution and am hoping/fretting it will get the job done. Has anyone here tried it?

    My wedding is March 12th, 2014 on the beach in Cuba.
    I am 5;9 and currently 153lbs. I was 141lbs at my lowest and would like to get back there for March.
    I know I'll do it once I stop eating out....drives me crazy!
    My fiancé can put muscle on and lost weight in a heart beat. I work my butt off, but the weight stays because of my diet. \
    I just signed up today to have a nutrition coach. I just need someone to hold me accountable.
    Good luck to all of you! Mind over all your daily challenges! Just remember the ultimate goal.

    Feel free to add me. The more people keeping an eye on me...the better :)
