in Introduce Yourself
I'm new to the website, and my main reason for joining is to lose weight for my upcoming wedding. I need to lose all the weight I can before my first fitting, but I definitely want to do it the healthy way. Anyone else doing this?

    Congrats!! I'm not getting in shape for my wedding, but two of my family members will be getting married this year and next and I'm going to be a bridesmaid in both. I do want to look great for my own wedding when it happens too though. Trying to lose another 50 pounds, but only have about 4 weeks until the first wedding!

    I'm getting married on 9/2. Going to shop for dresses tomorrow!

    I hate to say I'm "losing for the wedding" because really, I want to lose some weight for lots of other reasons. But if I'm really honest with myself, I want to look amazing in my wedding photos, so there it is.

    Thanks for the congrats ladies! We are all trying to lose for one reason or another, but I know first and foremost it's so that my pics will be great! Shallow? Kinda.... Truthful? Always! LOL The only other extra perk I want is to keep the weight off! Good Luck in your weight loss journey. Feel free to add me as a friend and keep me posted on your progress. :-)

    I'm getting married in September too! I had been losing weight long before we got engaged, so for me it's not just for the wedding either. It gives me heaps of motivation now though :)

    Trying to loose weight for my wedding which is 3 months from now, I have struggled with weight loss for most of my adult life. I'm trying to restart my weight loss journey not just for my special day but to be healthier, happier, have more energy and feel good about myself. It's hard doing this and having motivation to continue work towards my goal. If anyone has any good advice or suggestions, I am open to hear. Thank you and all the best to you all working on a better you!
