    Not losing, but lost. I got married on October 12th and it was such a great feeling to walk down the aisle with confidence!

    Well, I started back to the gym and logging food before he proposed but now with planning a wedding for May 2014, it's GAME ON! Ordered my dress about 2 weeks ago! I'm not working towards a specific weight by W-day but I want to continue to be healthier and work on getting stronger. That confidence will shine through in pictures more than being a specific weight (IMHO).

    You should have some post-wedding goals to keep up with as well.

    I am trying to lose weight for my friend's wedding. She asked me to be her maid of honor so I don't want to be the FAT maid of honor. I'm losing weight slowly and charted out what I should be weighing by the end of the week each week until her wedding in May. The chart helps :D

    I'm getting married July 26, 2014. My goal is to lose at least 30+lbs by then.. I've only lost 7lbs so far but I have cut out my pop all together. I want to look good for my beach wedding. We all need to keep each other motivated..

    My man gave me a promise ring last Christmas... I told him he wasn't aloud to propose to me until I was at my goal weight. We are in no hurry to get married, but the thought of it keeps me going that's for sure.

    ETA: My promise ring no longer fits (much tooo big for my finger now) .. looking forward to getting it resized one day

    Getting Married May 2014, and my wedding dress is already here. My goal is to have the seamstress have to take the dress in one full size from a 16 to a 14! Fingers crossed. If I get to size 14, my goal then changes to size 12 and so forth. But I would be so proud of myself to be down just one size.

    12th April, 2014 is my big day! I also really want to lose weight to be healthy after the wedding date and not spend my 30s dieting like I did my 20s!

    Good luck to everyone!

    Congrats on your recent wedding! My husband and I were married October 18th :-)

    We didn't have a traditional wedding, and fitting into a certain dress was not my motivation for weight loss (although I think more power to those who find motivation in it!)

    I met my now-husband at 270 lb, snugly in a size 22. I joined MFP shortly before our engagement and was happy to be 218 lb, a looser-fitting size 18 on our wedding day 16 months later!!

    I went from a UK size 18 to a UK size 6/8 in a year for my wedding. Best motivation ever, congratulations! :D

    Wedding date set in June 2014. I started losing much before we had a date set. I have 5-10 lbs to lose but I am much more concerned with body fat %. I am hoping to be 135-140lbs by June and down to under 25% body fat. My ultimate goal is 20% body fat, but I expect that will be slow coming. I would really like to get some definition in the arms and back before the wedding though, and ultimately the number on the scale matter less than how I look and feel when that day comes, though they are correlated for sure.

    My college graduation took place at my heaviest (about 175lbs) and I hate looking at those pictures. I just want to be able to look at my wedding pictures without lamenting on my double chin and back-fat, etc...

    Good luck to everyone on reaching their goals for their wedding!
