Introduce ourselves!

Hello everyone! I just found this new board right now, so happy we have a board for brides to be!

My wedding day is July 6th this summer, my goal is to lose this last 25 lbs (or so) by then, and hopefully before I go try on dresses March 23rd. So far I have lost almost 50 lbs in the last 2 years, I started at 177 lbs (5'1") and now I am 130, and my goal is to be about 105 lbs. I am so excited to be marrying the man of my dreams, my best friend!

What is everyone's story?

Check out my before and progress pics on my profile! I started Turbofire a little more than a week ago, very motivated to lose this weight! Doing it the healthy way! Right foods and working my butt off!

-Natalie

    Although I'm not engaged yet, my bf and I have decided to get married in 2014 (prob fall of that year.) That gives me a little under 2 years to get into my best form. Year one is on "shedding" as my aim is to get to 130lbs from 175 (I'm at 157 right now). Then year two will be about refining, when I'll work with a personal trainer to tone up (I'll start this as soon as I hit my goal weight, hopefully by this summer!) I want to look hot for my wedding, otherwise what's the point? lol.

    Hi everyone!

    I got engaged in October and I don't have a date yet, although I think it will be 2014/2015.

    Right now I am not losing weight specifically for the wedding, just in general but of course I want to look my best then as well :heart:

    Hey all! I'm getting married in October of this year. I have about 30 pounds to shed to reach my goal weight, and I'm hoping to have most of it gone by the time I order my wedding dress. I'm also working out with FI's dumbells so that when the fat comes off there's some nice muscle to show off :)

    hi I am getting married on September 24th :) I am 5'7" and I THINK 220 but my scale stopped working cause it was so bloody cold here. I don't have a goal weight to be by that date. Not sure what would be a reasonable goal? But hey any thing I loose will be better than what I am at right now! :)

    Hello Everyone! I'm getting married September 7th THIS YEAR! The urgency of it has kind of just hit me, lol, even though we got engaged LAST Christmas. Future Hubby & I are trying to lose as much weight as possible between then and now. I have about 70 lose altogether, but making it halfway there by September would make me pretty, darn happy!

    Hello!!! I'm getting married August 4th of this year and have just started the losing weight process. I lost 40lbs several years ago and then it eventually found it's way back and then some! I'm looking for support to lose those 40lbs in the next 6 months. According to MFP I can do it with a strict diet and tons of gym time so that's what I intend to do. I just need a way to stick with it! I'm hoping I've found it. Congrats to all of you getting married!

    Hi all,
    I'm getting married 19 July this year, I have my dress and need to lose an inch from my chest for a comfortable fit. I'm sorted with my exercise programme, cardio and strength so I feel this is a really achievable goal.
    Congratulations and good luck everyone :happy:

    Hi ladies,

    Massive congratulations to all of you on your engagements!

    I got engaged on the 9th January this year, and we have provisionally booked our wedding venue for 4th December 2014 (a Christmas wedding!)

    I am currently 214lbs, with my goal to reach 140lbs for the wedding - that should mean that I go from an English size 18 to a size 10-12.

    I really need help with the motivation and hope that I can help others in the same position.
