    Well, I hope all of you have better luck than the ladies I know in my area. Most of them that lost weight for the wedding, put weight back on once they started their new married life. The ones that were aleady active before hand are still about the same size as when they were married, even my one friend that had a baby. She got back down to her pre-baby size within a few months after birth.

    Trust me, I commend you for working hard, I just hate to see people focus only one the one short term goal instead of making it a lifestyle change/choice.

    I understand your point 100%. I see girls doing these pills, or weird string cheese diets, or restricting so much that it is just not possible to do that for a lifetime commitment. However, I was smart.. did some research, got into a great, supportive gym and decided to do it all the natural, healthy way!
    For my case, I wasn't always dealing with a weight problem. I was always between 140-145 and fit and healthy. Then, I had a rough year. Our apartment burned down in spring where we lost everything. My aunt died in the fall, then I got laid off from work in December. I was at rock bottom. Before I knew it I gained 25lbs. Life happened and it got the best of me. Now I'm engaged and I am working back to how I was before that a tragic year occured. I wouldn't work this hard to throw it all away just because I get married or have a baby. I will stay fit, healthy, and will be a busy working mother. I have loads of faith, determination, and trust in myself to do whats best for me and my health :)

    I am also getting married in August 2013! I'm using my wedding date to motivate me to get back into shape. I've let my good habits slide a bit and I'm not as active as I was even 6 months ago. So wanting to look and feel my best for my wedding day is the little extra kick I needed to get my butt back in shape! (and all my other body parts). :)

    Good luck ladies! May we all look fabulous on our wedding days!

    Congrats all on the upcoming weddings. I'm getting married in the Bahamas on May 9, 2013, with a long honeymoon in the Caribbean after, so I need to locate my beach bod (lost it back in the early 90s ;) Would LOVE to lose 55, but shooting for 35 for now. Doing physician assisted weight loss program (medicine and B12 shots), the trainer, and a great diet from my nutritionist (lots of food, never hungry). Let me know if you want me to send over the spreadsheet.

    Also- any thoughts about doing a 12-week group tracker to keep us all motivated? I'm not sure how to set it up, but think it might be fun!
