Sister's wedding in May

FitBride080611

My sister's wedding is May 21, which is exactly 3 months from my start date on MFP (2/21/11). I'm starting out at 149.8 and my goal is to lose 15 pounds by then. My dress alterations appointment however is Monday, March 8th...which is 2 weeks from yesterday--I'm trying to really stay focused because I do NOT want them to have to let the dress out!! It's a size 8, but when I tried it on a few weeks ago, it didn't zip! Not by a ton...but still.

I just wanted to get it out there to help me stay accountable. Does anyone else have any short term goals they're working on?

I'm trying to lose about 15 more lbs before my best friend's wedding in July!

I'm in a wedding in July, and silly as it sounds, my goal is to have to have major alterations done I'm starting to wish that I had ordered my dress in a smaller size, but I wasn't entirely confident in my ability to actually follow through on this whole weight loss thing... Right now my short term goal is to finish out 30 days of 30 day shred (though I substitude 'shred with weights' some days), and to start C25K as soon as we get our treadmill (supposed to get it tomorrow!) My relationship with running is such that if it is cold, snowy, muddy, or ickyish in any way, I will use it as an excuse not to do it - but signing up for a race the end of April, and having the treadmill in the basement = no excuses!

Good luck! Are you doing any exercises along with eating lower calories? You will fit into that dress!! I'm in a wedding on May 7th. I ordered my dress and hope to get it in the next couple of weeks. I also hope that my mom will have to take it in the week before the wedding!! LOL

My best friend is getting married on May 21st!! How funny! It's the first of 2 weddings this year of my friends and I really want to lose weight for them. I have more to lose than you, but we have the same end goal. I am hoping to lose 20 lbs by May 21 and I just started last week! I would love to cheer you on!!!

I'm in a wedding in August, and getting married next July (2012)...I don't want to be the biggest bridesmaid out of 7! Especially when the bride is the size of my thigh

You are DEFINITELY going to fit into that dress!
Stay motivated, dont starve yourself, and keep working out!
Dress sizes are the easiest things to lose!
Good luck

My best friend is getting married May 14th. I ordered my dress in December. I started on MFP mid January. I have lost 16 lbs so far. Just tried on my dress again the other day and it's now too big. Which is ok because it was uncomfortably tight before. I hope to lose 15-20 more before the wedding. I didn't want to be the "fat one" in the wedding party. That is my motivation right now . Then my next motivation is bathing suit weather and summer clothes.
