Brides to Be

Options
I know a lot of people that I've friended on here are due to be married. I thought it might be fun to start a forum topic for just us gals. We can use it to post our goals, give ways we can motivate ourselves, offer fun workout ideas, add good recipes and even vent on days that we don't do that well. Also, we can share wedding planning ideas! Anyone else in!?

    I've married now for a year and a half but I know how much stress it takes to lose weight before your wedding. You really need the support considering all that comes with planning a wedding and getting ready to take that major life changing step. Every bride to be needs the extra support! And trust me you can do it. 3 months and lost 15 lbs, it was hard but it can be done!

    I'm in! Got engaged late October, and the wedding will be around the same time. No date set yet. But I'm trying to take off 50-60 lbs. In a year is doable...right?

    fabulous idea! im in! i just had a baby mid august and getting married may 7, 2011. after losing the post labor weight i was 185, now got down to 167 but hope to be back at 135 by my wedding. I was 135 before and AFTER having my first child but gained 30 pounds after that before getting pregnant with my second. so technically ive lost al the baby weight from this baby because i was exactly 167 when we decided to get pregnant, just have 32 lbs to go in 5.5 months! id love to share/get ideas from you girls!

    Our wedding is June 18, 2011. I would like to weigh between 125-135. I'm currently at 170, so I really need to get my butt in gear! I think we've got pretty much everything planned out except for minor decorations. I'm expecting my bouquets, bouts, and coursages to arrive today. I went with fakes and plan on spritzing them with essential oil on the day of. Later this month, the 29th, I'll be going to shop with my gals for bridesmaids dresses and will be trying my gown on again then. It was too tight, so I hope it fits better!!!*Crosses her fingers*

    I went online to http://www.weddingstar.com/. My friend JUST opened a wedding store in my home town and got me a wicked discount on these party favors...i'm not putting flowers in them though, my plan is to make seeded paper and write on them "plant some love" I already have the Canadian Wildflowers...they're 100% organic cotton:happy:

    I'm in! Countdown the the aisle is ON!!!!!!!!

    I'm getting married October 14, 2011. My family is being so supportive that they said if my wedding dress no longer fits me because I lost so much weight (I bought a size 18) that they would buy me a new one in my new size!!! WOOHOO!

    My goal is to lose 75lbs by July 1st which is probably the latest I could order a new dress if they can't size the one I have down. Takes about 2 months to order then they have to tailor it.... maybe even June 1st. I'm nervous!!!!!!!!!
