    Good idea. I'm a bride to be also.. wedding August 28, 2010. I would like to lose at least 50 lbs.. but hoping it will be more than that (perfect ideal would be about 60 more!) Already have lost a bit the last few months, I need to find an accurate scale and re-weigh myself to update my counter.

    ok so yesterday I succeeded on the veggies but got derailed on the crunches...Long story about very destructive puppies! But I fully plan on adding more to the next few days worth to make it up!

    So far I have hit my veggie goal every day but 1....it was my free day, but I think even for free days I should probably balance the bad with the veggies! I hit my crunch goal every day. Today was grocery shopping day and I found individual veggie freezer packs. These will be great for taking to work and increasing my veggie intake. Hooray!

    That's a great idea about the individual veggie packs...I'll have to grab some this week for work too! This weekend has been really bad, while I have been careful about eating, we went out both Friday and Saturday with my FH's new co-workers so the drinks flowed...Ugh. thankfully my Apt's gym has machines with TV's attachde so I will be spending the day walkin/running/biking today...

    Yesterday was definitely my cheat day with two holiday parties. I will try to get back on track with the goals.

    OK girls it is Wednesday, our first weekly check in. How did you all do this week? I succeeded on the veggies everyday it was the crubches that got me. I found myself missing one day then doing twice as much the next day. I probably averaged out over the 7 days at 75/day but didn't get them in everyday.

    I'll admit that I didn't do so well with the goals, but I am trying to get back on track.

    i'm so in on this! my wedding isn't until oct. 2010, and i'd love to lose 30 pounds by then and actually maintain it!

    Welcome wmb! The more the merrier. Our first week goal was to eat all daily servings of veggies and 50-100 crunches a day. I think there was confusion as to our check in so it will be Fridays now. This friday we will set a new goal, suggestions are always welcome!

    I think we should come up with a fun slogan for our group....again any suggestions are always welcome. Here's my first suggestion "working it out so we can WORK the dress!"

    I love the fun title. I had a pretty successful first week. I worked out 5 of 7 days, including my crunches! I also did pretty well on the veggies. I had lots of salads, snacked on baby carrots instead of chips, and made sure to add a side of veggies to meals that I normally don't. And I lost my 1 pound goal this week. What should we do for week 2 of the challenge?

    Hey Melisa found your post on WW and decided to join MFP because of it. I'm still getting into the swing of things at this site. The forum layouts are completely different and WW was the first forum I regularly post on. I would love to join the brides to be! My wedding date is 5-15-10. I need to lose to fit in my dress and to look good for my pics!

    What is "BUMP" I just don't get it when people put BUMP as the only word on their post. Is it some kind of secret word/language on here?

    Hi Ardala! Bump is just when we want to put the post back into easy viewing. Basically so it does not fall into the archives and become impossible to find. I am so glad you have joined us. We need to do a challenge for this week. How about drinking all of our water + and 30 mins+ of cardio a day?

    Can I join too? I'm not getting married until 9/24/11 but I'm the MOH for my best friend who is getting married 10/16/10. I usually am really gung ho about eating healthy and exercising for about 2 weeks then it all falls apart. I'm hoping this will help hold me accountable.

    Good luck to everyone!!!

    I would love to join too! I'm getting married 8/14/2010 and would love to lose 12 (now 9!) pounds by then, tone and maintain. My first dress fitting is in May so I'm hoping to be close by then. I particularly would love the fitness accountability, I have a super time-consuming job and can rarely make it to the gym before 8-9pm and it is hard to do it sometimes!

    I updated my ticker!!! We were planning to get married May 5th, but my fiance joined the Army National Guard and we are moving the date up to January 30th, which is our shared birthday. So far things are going well to have the small classic wedding that we had originally planned. I obviously won't be at my original weight goal of 110 by then, but would like to lose about 4 pounds to get down to 120. I have been sticking to nutrition goals pretty well, but I am finding it harder to make time for exercise with all of the planning. My sister is due with her second child on February 3rd, so wish us luck that she is able to be there for the wedding.

    I want to join. He asked me to marry him on Christmas day so we don't have a date yet. But I have been with MFP since last Feb and have already lost some weight. I would like to be down to 130 by August this year. Weather or not we set a date by then I hope to be able to stay there.

    I have been working out to Jullian's Shred for 6 days now. I am going to move on to level 2 in four days. It is a tough workout but stick with it It is worth it. This is the 3rd time I have started it. The last 2 times I started it I only made it to day 4. This time I am totally commited.

    Hope to hear back from you.

    This sounds like a great idea. I like the idea of writing how much we have lost over the week instead of the actual weight. I am pretty embarrassed. I love the two goals, too. I'll be doing my crunches tonight!

    12 days until we get married. I got a bit off track over the weekend, but hopefully I can meet my goal of 120 by the 30th.
