Hi everyone,
Can't believe that I am getting married next July, with 10 months to go I would love to lose 30lb. I am pretty focused on my diet and exercise but starting two night classes this week so that will be taking time away from exercise.
We haven't booked anything yet as we are going from the UK to get married in Vegas then spending 3 weeks touring california, flights etc are still expensive so need to wait a few more months which is making me feel like were not organised enough!
Anyway, its going to be dress buying time soon so I am focused on that
Congratulations to you all

Hello all!
My fiancé is currently deployed and will be home in time for the holidays (yay!). We are looking to elope on New Years or very early January.
I just ordered my dress yesterday (!!!!!!!!!!!!!) and would love to lose that last 10-15 lbs before he comes home and we marry!
I want to look stunning for our day AND surprise him!

Hi Everyone! We are getting married May 3rd. I have already lost 39 pounds, I'm at 173 right now. I think I would like to try for 10 more pounds. If not pounds, get a couple inches off my arms and hips. I need to make sure I can keep the weight of through busy season. I am a public accountant, and sitting at this desk for 13 hours a day, it's hard not to snack. And the fiance doesn't exactly make the healthiest dinners in my absence. Let's hope for the best.0

Hey I'm Melissa-- and on top of planning a wedding in only 10 months, I really want to lose at least 50lbs by then! The big day is May 25, 2013... Here's hoping I can do it!!
My wedding is also May 25th, 2013!! I would like to lost 30 by then - I know I would be content at 20-25 but the goal is 30!! just need that push and motivation !!0 -
Hello Brides!
I am Kerri and my wedding date is August 17, 2013. My fiance and I are both trying to lose weight and excercise more. So far I have lost around 5 lbs and that really motivated me. I want to buy a dress in March and be down about 30 lbs by then. Seems scary but losing the first 5 was easy enough. I want a low cut back on my wedding dress so I am doing lots of arm/back workouts using the Tone It Up girls website. I want the Allure 8961 dress and want to look stunning! I have started eating fish recently for the first time ever and love the lean protein and different ways to prepare it. Keeping track of calories is really easy now and kind of fun to compare with my sister/fiance and whatnot. Feel free to add me! YAY! We are all getting married!!0 -
I am getting married in 4 months (Jan 19, 2013)!!! Time to get serious about weight loss. I bought a dress that was a size too small and I've lost 13 pounds since then... so I am hoping to push myself to lose at least 15 more by the wedding.0

I wonder if anyone else feels the same way I do... when I am working out and getting tired or really wanting to eat a snack that is unhealthy/would put me over my calorie budget I look at my engagement ring and it is like a really nice, but harsh kick in the butt to remind me what I am working towards. It is easy to be honest with myself and push myself with such a pretty reminder attached to me ALL DAY. The ring doesn't come off but the weight will. Good luck ladies, keep at it.0

Hello Ladies, hopefully it is not too late to join.
I believe that I am getting married March 9th, 2013, we are still working out the arrangements for the venue. I recently found a place that is very nice and actually within my small budget. I didn't realize that you can save some money if you marry off season.
Anyhow, ideally I would like to be down around another 15 to 20 lbs by then. However, I'm currently working on a smaller goal of 10lbs. When I get to that goal I will access what my next goal will be.
The support would be great! Please feel free to add me as a friends on here.0 -
Hey Everyone!!

Oh, and I really want to feel good about my self so I can do a bridal boudoir shot for my future hubby, is anyone else doing one??0 -
Hey ladies!
My name is Samantha and I'm getting married on Saturday, May 4th, 2013 (: Can't believe how fast time is flying -- before I know it, the big day will be here!
I'm hoping to have lost an additional 8-13 lbs by the wedding date; ideally I want to be at 120-125lbs one month BEFORE the wedding. Big dreams, gotta have 'em!
Feel free to add me 'cause goodness knows I'm going to need the support! (:0 -
Hi there ladies! I'm Robin. Recently got engaged and we are planning to wed on October 12th 2013. I would LOVE to lose at least 50 pounds by then. I know it's doable, I just have to keep the motivation up.... hopefully this group will help with that I read through these introductory posts, and loved the one that said to look at your ring when you want that extra snack.... Hope everyone is doing well so far with their goals!0

Hi! I'm Brittany, and like two others I have seen here, I'm getting married on June 8, 2013. I need to lose about ten pounds to get my dress to fit well. I want the seamstress to have to take my dress in a bit. So that's the goal for the wedding. Beyond that, I'd like to lose another 20 pounds or so to get back to my pre-college weight. I've gained it all in the last year and a half or so and want it all gone in that amount of time.0

Hi! I'm Hannah and I'm getting married April 6th, 2013! It's so great to see other brides supporting each other! I'm not really new to MFP, but I am new to being consistent with MFP. I'm looking for some friends I can network with to help all of us stay on track and I hope I've come to the right place! Add me please!0

Hi! I'm Brittni and I'm getting married October 26, 2013. I want to lose 100 lbs overall but at least 60-70 before the wedding. I have a little over a year to accomplish my goal. I have always been bad about procrastinating with trying to lose weight before any event that comes up in my life (graduation, high school reunion, friends' weddings, etc.). And it's always been too late to do anything about it. I don't want that to happen with one of the biggest events of my life. I want to make sure I'm working on losing weight now! And I am motivated more than ever to finally change my life!
I want to feel confident and beautiful on my wedding day. I want to be able to enjoy my honeymoon (as of right now it's at Disney World) and not get tired so easily. It's not just for the wedding and honeymoon... in the next couple of years I want to travel to Europe and not be the fat American tourist that everyone looks at with nasty looks. I want to be healthy and in shape if and when I have children. I want to feel "alive" for the rest of my life and not sit at home feeling ashamed and sorry for myself. I know it's going to be really hard but I have to keep telling myself that I don't want to live the rest of my life feeling like I have the past 20 or so years of my life.
Anyways, I want to congratulate all you other 2013 brides on here! I'm sure your goals, personal stories, and successes will encourage me and make this weight loss journey a lot easier for me. I hope I can do the same for you!0 -
Hello everyone!
My wedding is October 12, 2013 and my goal is to lose the last 68 pounds by June 30 (due to dress alterations). Since becoming engaged in August I have lost 12 pounds. I have always had weight problems and after the birth of my son and now a wedding coming up, I am determined to get that healthy lifestyle and great body that I have always wanted. Enough complaining and doing nothing about it.
I know that with support each of us can reach the goals we have set for ourselves!0 -

My name is Laura and I am getting married April 22 2013 in Riviera Maya Mexico!
I lost 30 lbs last year on weight watchers and I hit a plateau at 124 lbs. Guess I was being greedy because I wanted to lost 6 more lbs and after 6 months of trying I just gave up. Well now I am 13 lbs heavier and need to stop the emotional snacking! I decided to start MFP to do something different than weight watchers.
Looking to lose those 13 lbs again by the end of year so I can relax the few months before my wedding! I need all the motivation and support I can get!0 -

Hi Everyone! My name is Kim.
My fiance and I kind of did things in reverse and had our son before we got married. My son is 2 and our wedding is set for 4/5/13 in Las Vegas!! I am STILL carrying around 3/4 of the baby weight i gained....50lbs total
MFP is helping me keep track of my calorie/fat intake and excersize. This is my second shot on MFP year, and i hope i can stick to it this time! LOL
I am looking for/need that extra encouragement, motivation, ideas, support to FINALLY drop the baby weight for my wedding
Anyone feel free to add me as a friend for that extra encouragement!!
have a good day!!0 -
Hi Ladies! Congrats to everyone! I am Lauren and I am so glad to have a group like this on here! I recently got engaged and the day I marry my best friend is Sept. 20, 2013. I am so excited. I have quite a bit of weight to loose. I am going to really try to loose a lot between now and december and that is when I am hoping to get a dress (going to try to get one with a corset back) so that i can continue to loose and not have to do a ton in alterations.
Feel free to add me
Yay us!!!!!!!!0 -
Hello Everyone-
I just got engaged this weekend! The goal is for a fall 2013 wedding.
My personal goal is to lose the last stubborn 8-10 that have been hanging on but ideally i would also really like to tone up and look fit, not skinny fat!0 -
Hi All!
My wedding is May 25th, 2013-- less than six months away! I am hoping to lose 15-20 lbs and overall inches before the wedding.
I have been engaged for almost a year, and have been trying to lose the weight I gained after high school: college, working, etc- about 15 lbs crept up on me. I tried to lose weight for the engagement pictures but gained it back. Now I need to get serious because my strapless dress is tight- and I want to look slim and beautiful on my big day!0 -
Well, I realized I posted a topic on being new here but didn't see this thread. Whoops!
I got engaged to the love of my life on 10/19/2012 and we are getting married 10/13/2013. :bigsmile: My weight has crept back up since my fiance and I got serious, but I am determined to look amazing in that wedding dress.0
