My wedding date is August.18th, 2012

Plans are going together quite well but a lot to do. Just found the website www.weddingwire.com that lets you set up a free webpage for guest to RSVP, request music, look up venue details so I thought that was pretty helpful. Our theme is rustic love birds so our centerpieces are 18 inch vases with branches coming out of the top for half and the other half our 18 inch vases with water and 2 lillies with a floating candle on the top. Our colors are green, brown and turquoise. I cannot believe how fast its come up and now only 6 months away!!!

I am wanting to lose as much as it takes to fit into my dress!! I ordered the dress when I was pregnant so had to sort of guess on the measurements and now its a tad bit to small.... eeek! 20 pounds I think would do but the more the better

I plan on drinking my 8+ glasses of water, continue my journey to eat better and make exercise a priority.

Kayci, my wedding day is also November 10th AND I'm trying on dresses this Saturday too! Apparently we are working on the same timeline!!! Lol. Have you sent your save the dates yet? I was planning on sending mine out in a few weeks.

Anywho, my wedding planning is going great so far. The only thing I have left is wedding dress and cake.

We don't have a theme, but our color palette is purple and gray.

I would like to lose at least 45 pounds.

I am eating right and tracking it through MFP and also running 3 times a week (doing couch to 5K) and trying to do 2 other days of cardio

Hi all.

My wedding date is 11/3/12. Planning is moving along. We have our venue, catering and photographer. We've met with a DJ and will probably sign with him this week.

We don't really have a theme just fall colors and accents. Colors are orange, gray and cream.

I'm going dress shopping on Sat too! What a coincidence!

I've lost about 20 punds so far, and I'd like to lose another 40. I've been doing well on staying with my calorie goals and working out 5-6 days per week, but I'm sick right now, so taking a break from exercising.

Hi all! I just joined this group to surround myself with other brides-to-be who understand the added pressure of having a specific date they'd like to meet their fitness goals by.

When is your wedding date? I will be getting married on August 4, 2012.

How are your wedding day plans coming together? After a ton of stressful planning, I finally feel like things are coming together. I'm planning a wedding over a thousand miles away, so there's been a number of intense weekends where I fly home, have 10-15 meetings set up in a 3-4 day time period, but come home feeling accomplished. All the major stuff (venue, food, cake, flowers, DJ, dress, bridesmaids dresses and photographer) are taken care of, I'm now concertrating on smaller things.

Do you have a theme? No theme - we're getting married in a renovated 1920s ballroom, which kind of does most of the work for us. If I did have a theme, it would be "Awesome party for everyone we love!"

How weight are planning on losing for your big day? My goal is somewhere between 13-18 pounds total (I know those are odd numbers, but they are linked to specific round numbers I hope to acheive). I've lost about 5 already, and hope to have shedded another 5-8 by early summer, so the final months can be focused on toning up.

What are you doing to get to that goal weight? Right now, I'm working out 6 days a week. I alternate between Couch to 5K (MWF) and the 30 Day Shred/walking my dog (TThSat). I give myself Sundays off, though I usually go skiing then anyway.

Good luck to everyone, both with your fitness goals and in planning your big day!

Congrats! My wedding date is 9/22/12 too!

I am a late starter to the weight-loss, but good as time as any. I have been on my weight-loss journey for 7 weeks now. I am getting married August 18th, in Barbados!
I had to lose weight because over the winter after buying my dress, I had gained weight. Up until today I was fearful I wouldn't fit into my dress.
I am back at the weight I was, but that doesn't include the weight that doesn't show on the scale because of muscle weighing more than fat. So I am guessing my 6lbs lost is closer to 12lbs.

My long term goal is to be down to atleast 140.
Short term goal is to lose another 5-10 lbs by August.

I have cut out sodas and sweet drinks (rarely ill have an adult drinky so I have something sweet to treat myself)
no fast food
staying close to 1200 calories per day
cardio for an hour per day (m-f...usually pretty busy during the weekends)
3 days a week I weight train with my personal trainer.

Hi everyone. I've been part of this group for a while, but haven't really had enough info to share to post before. But here I go.

When is your wedding date? April 6, 2013

How are your wedding day plans coming together? Just about done. Just need to organise my centrepieces and talk my mother-in-law out of changing my bouquets and I'm good.

Do you have a theme? I don't really have a theme. Colours are purple (eggplant), with some white, black and baby pink thrown in for fun.

How weight are planning on losing for your big day? I'll basically take what I can get. I would love to lose enough to feel comfortable in a bikini on the honeymoon, but am realistic enough to realise it probably won't happen. However I need to lose three inches from my waist to fit the dress I've ordered, so I'm aiming to do that by Christmas.

What are you doing to get to that goal weight? Currently nothing. Oops. Been a bit wonky lately. However I'm in the process of converting our spare bedroom into a workout area for me that way I can do it without disturbing my man. I intend to do zumba at least three times a week (more if I can motivate myself), plus I'm hoping to clean up my diet a bit. I have already stopped eating Maccas (almost two months now!) and I gave up KFC and Pizza Hut about a month ago. Just need to get off the pasta/chips/soft drink and I should get there.

Hey everyone,

Congrats to all of you! I'm really loving finding out about all of the awesome brides who are with me on this weight-loss, getting-healthy journey!

I'm getting married June 29, 2013. My wedding plans are going great - I'm way ahead of the schedule somehow - I have a venue with food, and we're doing the ceremony there. I have a dress and an officiant. I sent out save-the-dates (see my profile pic!), and now I'm starting to put together all of the little pieces, like colours, flowers, etc.

Our theme is Vintage Books and Vintage Movies - we're both big culture buffs, and I'm loving the vintage weddings I'm seeing. I'm kind of calling it a vintage glam wedding.

I'm planning on losing at least 20 lbs, possibly 30 if I can. My dress is just a little snug right now, so if I lose at least 10 lbs, I'm sure it will fit - but I'm hoping to lose even more and feel amazing in a bikini for the honeymoon, too!

I'm pretty much just limiting portions, eating healthier (with small indulgences) and working out like a fiend to get there. I'm doing a lot of yoga, some serious arm work, and 30 Day Shred.
