I have been on mfp for couple weeks and lost a couple pounds going at a slow pace. This last weekend I got engaged and now have a deadline for losing the weight! Was wondering if there is any other Brides to be out there that are looking to lose the bulge!

    After seven years of dating the same person, perhaps one day I will be a bride-to-be. hehe :)

    I am!! We are looking at May 2012 to set our date. I figure if I lose 1/2 pound a week between now and then I should reach my goal by the end of 2011:)

    Right here! Working on a goal of 75 pounds by July. Probably too much, but I've never been the kind to work out, and I've been trying to do at least 20 min/day. I'm on day 6 of Jillian Michael's 30 Day Shred. I've lost 8 pounds since Jan 2nd.

    Wow! Good for you! 8 lbs since Jan 2nd is awesome! I have that DVD somewhere - I guess I should dig it out - I think when I first tried it (about 40 lbs ago) it was so hard, but I think I might be able to get through it now :)

    I have been engaged for 14 years - does that count?? :laugh: :laugh: It's me doing the stalling - we have tried setting dates before, but for some reason we never set them in stone and it never happened - the last time we set a date (for Labour Day Weekend in 2007) - I ended up getting pregnant with my son and wouldn't you know it - the due date was on that same weekend! I ended up; gaining a pile of weight back (after losing 100 lbs) with my pregnancy, and have been struggling to get it off since. I keep hoping to lose the weight and look good before setting another date.... maybe we should try again - maybe that would get my butt in gear! :wink:

    Yup - two months to go!!

    I've really been slacking lately though, while I haven't GAINED anything - I've only lost half a pound altogether in January. I was hoping to have lost 10 pounds by my wedding day on April 1st - I guess I still have enough time! (if I get my butt moving!) :blushing:

    :smile:

    And congratulations! :bigsmile: :flowerforyou:

    Me too! Me too! We have set a date of Dec. 2012 so I have plenty of time to lose the weight, and have plenty to lose :laugh: .

    June 25th!!! I have my dress, but am not getting it altered until May. I'm training for my yearly 1/2 marathon and usually drop weight from January -June. I'm trying to lose 10 more pounds and get toned, but I've hit a plateau. Getting frustrated! My dress is not the typical corset top with big bottom so I have to look REALLY good to pull it off! I'm getting nervous!
