    Im getting married in Mexico on the beach in 43 Days!!!! February 15th at 3:00. Ive surpassed my weight goal and I just need to maintaine and continue toning. I ordered my dress in a size 4 and when I picked it up it was too big(yay)! I have to take it for alterations on Jan 20th so I have a couple of weeks to get to my ideal shape and then stay there! Good luck to everyone and give yourself enough time to get to reach your goals in a HEALTHY way. Remember..he loved you enough to want to marry you, so regardless of the size you are on your wedding day..he won't care. :)

    omg I am not believing that I really will write what I think, but wow you have a rocking body!!! I think I have to print out your picture and use that as a motivation.

    I just got engaged on 12/23/11, and we don't have a date yet but I think it will be in about a year!! I have a lot to lose but I started myfitnesspal on 1/1/12 and I am motivated to stick to it! it helps a lot that one of my best friends is starting with me, we live in the same apartment complex and went to the gym today. It's a great help having her for motivation, and my wedding for motivation, too. Congrats to all you brides! I know I can do it and if I can, I know you can too!

    That's awesome you were able to attend a wedding there!! What started the courage part was I could tell that the big wedding was not what my fiance wanted, of course he would do anything to make me happy, but from day one when we first started talking about marriage he had always said he wanted it to be special , me and him, and make it memorable. We started with that than things got out of control! This is going to be the day (week) for him and I and to be able to express our love in our own unique way. I was so concernded at first for my family (distant) but they all have been so supportative and are really excited for us!!

    Were my big fears and the thing I need courage is for stepping out onto the beach or swimming up to the pool bar in a swim suite Yikes!!!!

    Hello! I just joined this site today but had been using another similar before. My wedding is November 3, 2012 so exactly 10 months away. I'm looking to lose a lot more weight than I can by then, but if I can drop 60 by then I'll be happy. So far I've got 5.6 down.

    I'm sticking to 1500 calories a day but will drop that a bit here and there as I start to weigh less. I'm also in martial arts twice a week, and have just been moved up to advanced with actual combat starting tomorrow.

    I found my dream dress two weeks ago, and will order in February hopefully already a size smaller! Damn those bridal sizing charts.

    Hey everyone,
    My wedding date is June 30, 2012!
    -- I'm looking to drop 30 pounds before April. Hopefully. I have had my dress since August and have not put it back on since I was at the store last. I am hoping to be able to exchange for a smaller size come April and then get alterations done in May.

    Congratulations! This is definitely the year for weddings. I know of at least 6 this year amongst family/friends!

    I'm getting married in 126 days (May 11th)! I bought my dress last February and it fit...and now it doesn't. SO...I need to lose about 5 more pounds in order to fit into my dress, but would like to lose at least 10! I'm starting an AdvoCare challenge soon. Hoping that works. I've heard great things about it from friends that have used it. :) Good luck everyone! And feel free to add me!

    I'm getting married for the 1st time on May 27th. Having the legal wedding and reception here, then flying to Playa del Carmen and having a beach ceremony there! Wanted to do it all there but didn't want to have to take my kids on a honeymoon/wedding trip. (I know, selfish) but I refused to get married without them. 10 pounds and I will allow myself to find a dress! Thanks for the motivation!!!

    Hi all :smile: I am getting married July 24th in Jamaica where we will stay for 10 days and combine our wedding and honeymoon. I am so excited and can not wait. My goal from now until then is to drop 10 more pounds and tone my stomach. I already ordered my dress and I go in May for my first fitting.

    wish you all good luck!

    I'm getting married on October 20, 2012! : )
    My short-term goal is to weigh 125 by April. I want to gradually and healthily lose weight so I won't gain it all back during the honeymoon! Good luck ladies!

    I'm getting married on November 3rd 2012, on our 10 year anniversary! Still seems so long away so my problem will be maintaining my weight as I probably only have half a stone more to lose! Can't wait though! :-)

    Anyone feel free to add me, could do with the support! :-)

    Hey Ladies,
    I am getting married on June 9th (120 days). We are having a small backyard ceremony and a clambake reception.

    I have been trying to lose weight since we got engaged almost a year ago, but have not had much success. I have kicked my *kitten* in to high gear and am now beginning to train for a mini triathlon on July 29th, but still I do not see the weight coming off.

    I also follow a plant based diet, where I eat mainly raw fruits and veggies for breakfast and lunch, yet still not much luck in the weight loss department.
    .
    I need help and I need it fast!!!

    Let's see some updates ladies!! I know some of you are already married or getting married this month, pictures? weight loss goals met?

    I still have a little less than 5 months and am 15-20 pounds from my "goal" but i think I'm going to start paying more attention to my body fat and inches lost rather than pounds..for my sanity!! :)

    Revisiting this old thread - hope everyone is doing well and getting to their goals. I found I was overwhelmed by wedding prep and work and didn't do what I'd like.

    However, post-wedding, I'm more motivated than ever!!!!

    THIS. omg. I gained a few pounds before the wedding. I still looked fine. But stresses definitely increase the weight. Now that the wedding is over, I feel like there's less pressure so eating right and what not isn't a burden, it's just natural.

    Currently my biggest hurdle is the motivation - as in a complete lack of it!! But I figured this is something I just have to get on and do! The weight isn't just going to fall off; it's going to be hard and there will be lots of times when I just don't want to resist something, but the reward will be worth it when I look amazing in my dress!

    Plus it'll be even nicer looking back at the photos and thinking "I worked really hard to get to that weight, and I'm really proud of myself!"

    How about you?
