edited September 30 in Motivation and Support
I'm starting a challenge for those of us that are getting married. I guess the grooms to be can join in too. We all want to start the next chapter of our lives happy and healthy. Also, it won't be bad to look stunning on the big day.

We'll do weekly check-ins of weight and measurements: Bust, underbust, waist and hips. We'll do one month of Challenge at a time because of different wedding dates. This one starts August 1.

This will be an individual challenge unless we get a gazillion people, then we will break up into teams.

    I am getting married June 23, 2012 and trying to lose another 65 pounds (at least) and tone up before the big day. We are going to Florida and getting married on the beach, so needless to say, a short dress means I need to slim up. lol

    I'm up for this challenge though!
  • I want in I am getting married on May 19, 2012.

    I'm there! Getting married April 21, 2012! Trying to put off dress shopping until January! I that is cutting it close but I want to lose some weight first! 70 lbs and I will be happy... for now! Let's do this!
  • I'm in! We're getting married June 30, 2012...first fitting will be in November, so I have to get these last 20 pounds off for good. I've lost 36 so far and have plateaued for awhile now...but then again, I haven't been as committed to working out as I used to. I needed something to get me back on track! Excited!!

    I'm getting married 6/9/12! I have about 15 pounds to lose to be at my goal weight. I've had a hard time lately, so a challenge might be just what I need.

    The Knot is awesome!! My only complaint is I live in a smallish town and it doesn't have any vendors or recommendations for my area. kickcan.gif

    Yeah...there are no vendors around here either...but we are on a SUPER small budget and have been scouting out cheap vendors on our own...so far, so good! I love the pictures and inspiration boards on there though! I'm planning this thing all by myself, so all the DIY ideas rock my socks!

    That's the way I am doing it! All by my self, my wedding party is going to hate me after this, lol! I know next month we are going to one of those party stores and getting decorations from there. Flowers a friend and I are going to make. Luckily for me, I have like five photographer friends so those are going to be cheap and a friend of mine dj's so we are getting that for free too! So helpful!

    Yay!!! I am really really fortunate to have two of the most amazing bridesmaids in the universe! They are both all game for my DIY projects! I entered my fiance and myself in a photography project contest...and we won!!! So we saved a TON and still get professional pics! You should check it out! It's called The AmerIcan Wedding Project...we are the Alabama wedding! I'm pretty nervous about having my wedding pics all over the internet since I'm planning it myself. Extra pressure to make it awesome!
