Hi!
I'm Emily, 25 and from the UK - Milton Keynes! My fiance Andy proposed in May this year and we are getting married just 6 months away on 16th Feb 2013!!! I have lost 18lbs since Christmas, but have found myself struggling since getting engaged, with lots of socialising and general naughtiness/laziness! I'm 161lbs (11stone 7lbs) at the moment and at only 5"1 my wedding dress has been ordered in an 18 which im gutted about! I wear a dress size 16 normally and the shop assured me they do come up small but maybe they were being kind! Anyway, I'd love to lose another 40lbs, but realistically if I was 10 stone for my wedding I'd be happy.
I have recently started going back to the gym and swimming and try to do this at least twice a week for 45 mins. I struggle with cutting down on alcohol as I love a glass of vino!
I'd love to add you so we can help each other?

Hi Emily and Linette!
I'm Rea and I live in Glasgow, I'm getting married next month (eeeeek!) I'm on my final push for weight loss before the big day so I'm not quite in the same boat as you guys.
I've lost about 10lbs since May - I didn't even start my wedding diet til May, kept putting it off! I'm at about 139lbs now and I'm 5"3 but I'd quite like to get down to about 134lbs. I've been that weight before and I feel quite good around that mark.
I've been doing way more excercise in the past few months than I have on previous weight loss kicks and I've really been enjoying it, joined DW Fitness gym and I've been trying to do as many classes as I can. Have you girls tried Metafit? I do that or BodyStep and sometimes BodyPump. I've been's doing Yoga for years too but I've been trying to concentrate more on Cardio.
Wll done to both of you for losing so much weight! That's fantastic. It definitely shows you have it in you to get down to your target wedding weight!

Hi Ladies!
I'm 24 years old and live in Edinburgh. I'm getting married on the 12th October 2013 :-) I'm very excited but also a bit nervous... I just hope that I can loose enough wait to feel confident enough on the day!
You've all done so well already with loosing weight, well done! And congratulations on getting engaged too.
I am only 5ft3 and weigh 12 stone. I've put on around half a stone in the past couple of months - I think I've been enjoying the engagement celebrations a little bit too much! I found it hard to stick to the diet last time but this time around I've got the motivation of the wedding to keep me going.
Hopefully we can all do this together :-)

Hi ladies,
I hope you don't mind me joining you. I got engaged in March 2011, but we are only now planning our wedding and have finally officially booked the date (just this morning!) for 17th August 2013! I'm 14st 7lb and 5ft 2in, so very overweight for my height. I put a lot of weight on after having my little boy is February 2011, I had a c-section so spent a lot of time sitting around in the weeks afterwards, and then things went slowly downhill from there!
I'm hoping to lose as much weight as possible before the big day. I would love to get down to at least 10 stone but I think 11 may be more optimistic!
Feel free to add me. I log on every day and would love to share this journey with some more 2013 brides!0 -

I'm Kat, I'm 23 and I live in Glasgow with my fiancé Andrew, feel free to add me - it's always nice to meet new people here x 0

Hey!
Congratulations on your engagement :-)
Since I got engaged a couple of months ago the weeks have flown by. I'm getting married in Oct 2013 and I've not started planning yet apart from booking the registrar and venue. I'm sure it will start to go even quicker in the next few months too eek!
Part of me wishes we had waited until 2014 like you - I just wish that I had more time to lose more weight in time for the big day. I guess I will just have to see how things go and make sure that I put the effort in. Have you started to plan anything yet? Or have you thought of a venue? I live in Edinburgh so not too far away really :-)
Well done on reaching so many of your targets by the way I just looked at your profile - amazing effort - well done! I've added you are a friend too.
Welcome to the group :-)
