in Introduce Yourself
Anyone else engaged and looking to lose a few pounds?

I've been on here a while, had a hiccup over the summer, and am right back where I started. Only this time, I have some serious motivation! I'm getting married in the summer of 2013!

I'm really wanting to lose some serious weight before I go dress shopping this summer!

Looking for anyone in a similar situation or looking to lose around 50lbs!

    Hey fellow bride to be! We haven't officially set a date yet, but potentially summer 2013 as well :) one of my top reason for losing weight is to feel good in that wedding dress! I've got 45-50 to lose and have lost 20 since September. Feel free to add me :)

    Hello there! Congrats on your engagement! I totally feel ya. I want to look my absolute best in my wedding dress. My deadline is approaching rapidly though - I'm getting married May 5th of this year. YIKES. Not much time left, but would love to lose as much weight as possible and tone up decently by the date of my alterations appointment, which is March 18... My fiance is also using MFP, but just the app on his phone. Would love to be inspired by and help inspire fellow brides-to-be. Feel free to add me as well. :)

    @ally, there is no such thing as 'just' a MOH! I'd be lost without mine!

    Yes I can understand! I am getting married on June 2, 2012. We got engaged on April 21, 2011 and the next day I started my diet/exercise lifestyle. So far I have lost 78 lbs and am looking for 30 more. It is getting much harder to lose. Toay I pushed through a 5 week plateau to finally lose 2 lbs. I just hope I am able to reach my goal and be where I want to be. The closer it gets the harder the diet gets!!!

    Hi ladies!

    I am getting married June 2 this year. I can't believe it's coming up so soon!

    I am new to MFP and my healthy lifestyle, so some days can be challenging, but so far so good. Feel free to add me!

    Congrats everyone!!! Looks like everyone is making progress towards their goals! I am getting married on Sept 2nd! I REALLY wanted to try and lose all the weight i could before then. So i got a personal trainer in september.

    when i started trying on dresses in october i was trying on size 18s. A few weeks later i was in between size 18 & 16. The day i bought my dress (another few weeks later) i was in a size 16. I had only lost about 5 pounds but i could tell i was putting muscle back on and losing some fat, hence the dropped dress size! :) SOOOOO when i ordered the dress in november, i decided to order a size 14 EEEKKK i know! I figured i would have a couple months to lose the weight so that when it came in it would fit. My dress can be let out to a size 16 or be taken in to a size 8. It was on sale so i figured why not!? Well long story short, the dress came in 2 weeks later, which rarely happens and I was very hesitant to try it on. Well IT FIT, not well but it fit!

    So when the holidays rolled around, it was game on! I have lost 10 pounds since Christmas and I would LOVE to be able to take my dress down to that size 8!!! :)

    Hi everyone, congratulations on your engagements!

    Rahonda28 you're my date twin! I've also just restarted my fitness program after Christmas. I want to lose 15-20 pounds, tone up and get some more stamina.

    I've lost 1 1/2 stone so far between June and September last year, and then stalled a bit - only put back on 3 pounds though between September and January so happy with that.

    good luck everyone, just think how gorgeous you're going to look in your wedding dress :)

    Hey! I am getting married October 6, 2012. I still have 33 pounds to go until I meet my goal. I had a baby December 2010 and it's much harder getting baby weight off. I'm only a couple days into Fitness Pal. Would love to meet new people, feel free to add me!
