I tried 30 day shred but it killed me! Only twenty minutes but I barely made it. Lol. I figured getting back into the gym 4-5 days then plan to try 30 day again just before the wedding to tone up.0

I'm with you on this one! I have quite a bit to lose-around 100 lbs.0 -
Bride to be here too! Support is great, especially during the holidays and the stress of planning a wedding. So much more stress than I had imagined it would be and I tend to be a stress eater.

My tidbit of motivation: I've really enjoyed working out on the elliptical. It's been great having time to myself to relax, reflect and lose some weight. I bring music, a kindle, and a wedding magazine and run as a way to unwind and feel good. I'm up to 60 minutes 3 times a week, burning 800 calories. With the holidays coming and my temptations to drink away my stress, it's nice to give myself a calorie buffer. I plan to get really serious in January with diet and keep up the exercise and include the 30 day shred. (You can get it on Youtube btw).
Good luck brides to be. I know we all want to look hot as hell on the big day.
I mostly don't want to be beating myself up that I could have worked harder and felt better if I had more discipline. I'm hoping to lose around 15 pounds by April.0 -
I'm a bride to be! June 29, 2013 is our date as of right now, we may push it back a little bit. I'd really love to lose all the weight I need to but I'd be very happy to drop about 30-40lbs before getting my dress!0

Hi, my date in october of 2013..i have 70+ lbs to lose and i am having a really hard time. I could really use some help and motivation. I do good for a while and then i sabotage myself0
-
This sounds like a great plan! I should bring a bridal mag.. I have a ton!! 0
-
My goal is 30lbs gone but my dress fits now (a little loose actually ) so that took off a little pressure!!
I tend to emotional eat, which is terrible! def self sabotage. Hard habit to break for sure.0 -
Bride to be July 19th 2013 - want to get rid of 10 pounds and get super fit with lean muscles

If you are not juicing fresh vegetables I highly recommend you check into it. Especially if you need to loose considerable amount of weight and/or have health issues.
Here is great website and video to watch, their main movie http://www.jointhereboot.com/ is about several people who got on juice only diet.
You don't have to go juice only, you can substitute lunch or dinner with fresh juiced juice and have great results over period of time in loosing weight and improving your health drastically.
If you need to buy a juicer, look for one that is low RPM (under 120) because they do not strip juice from enzymes by generating heat. Juicer is investment you will get return on many-fold, by not being sick and feeling great, staying young longer. But you got to use it . Omega juicers are great for money and easy to clean and assemble.
There are tons of videos on youtube comparing juicers, and on juicing.
Few basic tips that I have learned over years and they work:
1) eat protein for breakfast, it will keep you feeling full until lunch and beyond.
2) keep dinner light and eat at least 3 hours before bedtime, if possible.
3) eat fresh vegetables and fruit every day. Or juice your vegetables and eat fruit to get even more minerals in.0 -
I'm getting married in June and want to lose 55 pounds by then. I'm not sure if it's doable, but I hired a personal trainer for a few sessions just to get me started because I'm clueless when it comes to exercise!
I just found out thyroid condition and they haven't been able to get the dose of medicine right yet. I'm really struggling at the moment and could use the support as well!!!!0 -
I would first suggest change the reason for the weight loss from "to look good in my dress or for pictures" to "I want to live a healthy lifestyle & be healthy for myself and my partner."
Why put in all the hard work just to baloon back up afterwards? Work towards establishing a healthy lifestyle that sticks instead of short term and often times unhealthy methods of weight loss just to squeeze into a dress.0 -

I'm a bride to be getting married on August 24th 2013. A lot can definitely happen in 5 months! I bought my dress in September and it fit like a glove, I went back to pick it up November 24th and it now has to be taken in a full dress size after losing 20lbs. A little makes a huge difference 0 -
It's not our first rodeo - so we're getting married in Mexico by ourselves on 4/6/13 - but we're doing 'trash the dress' pictures - I'm terrified of the camera - been working my ars off ...but it hasn't gotten the memo yet. I'm frustrated, I want to lose at 'least' 30 lbs by April 1st. I'd love to lose 40. I won't buy my dress until I get closer - I'm getting it online.0

Fair point! But if the the dress and the pictures motivate me to make the changes I need to so I can live a healthy life, I'm going to take the motivation and run with it!0 -

thats the day after my bday!r0 -

My dress fits now too. I figured I can reward myself with getting the dress taken in if necessary. Even though I'm confident I will be smaller and stronger on my wedding day (and actually already since I bought my dress) I didn't want to add any unneeded anxiety and stress about my self image.0 -

I don't think anyone's planning on ballooning back up afterwards and this site is geared around lifestyle change, not fad diets. All of us are months away from our wedding too. We have a date to prepare for and serves as good motivation instead of feeling like we have "tomorrow" to start eating healthy and working out.
I think it's perfectly okay to want to look good in my dress or for pictures.0 -
