wobbly bride-to-be in need of moral support

khc14

hello all! have been using this app for a loooooong time (intermittently) but am back with a vengeance now as boyf finally popped the question and we've set the date for 4th May '12......

a little bit about me - am turning into an habitual yo-yo dieter, probably propmpted by my "black or white" personality - if I do something I do it 100% or not at all.

have started on a reduced calorie (aiming for higher protein lower carb set up) diet and target of 3 gym sessions a week. 1 will be with my enduring personal trainer, and probably 2 classes, with maybe the odd 2km jog thrown in for good measure.

i have at least 10kg (if not 15) to lose in just under 6 months.... hope you'll be with me for what no doubt will be an epic adventure!

Would love to hear from anybody, ideally to gain a buddy in some form or another!

Congrats! I was married July 23rd of this year - it's a very exciting time! I didn't lose much weight before the wedding; I had too much other stuff going on.

10kg seems doable in your timeframe, but it's going to take dedication!

Good luck! don't give up

I lost 15 lbs for my wedding (four years agao) and now am trying to lose the post-wedding/baby weight. This site is fantastic, and I know you will attain your goals, as well will I!

Hello!!!

I am in your shoes! Being recently engaged, I am needing to tone up before our wedding - on May 19th! It's shaping up to be a wonderful time of year to get married! Only 6 months to go and I am confident that it will happen...but a little encouragement and accountability go a long way!

I joined myfitnesspal because of my blood pressure (not necessarily to lose weight initially) and in order to more closely monitor my sodium intake. The perks have been that I can actually chart calories, sugars, etc. as well, and it has given me a bit of a drive to get into tip top shape before the 'big day'.

Hopefully we'll be able to provide some accountability over these next few months!
Happy Monday!

Feel free to give me an add, same to all you other bride-to-be ladies - I'm in the same boat and I'm known for not having the best willpower in the world - so any support is always great!

Hi, feel free to add me too! I'm getting married May 12th 2012 and with just under 6 months to go I am wanting to lose about the same amount as you. MFP has definitely focussed me on this goal and the community and support is brilliant. good luck! x
