    Hello! I'm also getting married in July 2013 and don't worry - I just got back on the healthy train too. I lost about 20-30 lbs for a friend's wedding, I was still looking pretty healthy for my engagement photos but lately due to tons of stress (I'm a stress eater) and a lack of time of exercise, I've gained about half of the weight I lost back. My fitness plan is to exercise whenever I get the chance - mainly 30-45 mins of cardio. I've found that walking for 60 seconds and running for 90 seconds for a few miles is a great way to get through it for a non-runner like me. Basically, I'm going to try to do cardio 3 times a week and eat very little carbs--mostly veggies, sometimes meat. That's how I lost last time, plus drinking A TON of water! Congrats on your upcoming wedding :)

    Hi, my wedding is June 22, 2013. I'm less concerned about losing weight specifically for the wedding, more like just trying to continuously improve, and I've found tha tthe best way for me to continuously improve is if I exercise regularly rather than sporadically. It makes such a huge difference in my overall level of fitness. When I do a weight lifting circuit regularly, for example, I can maintain or increase my weight and reps each time I do it. But if I don't do it for even a couple of weeks, I always backslide on my weight and reps.

    So for me personally, consistency is key. Logging what I eat every single day. Exercising at least 5 days a week, or at least getting a nice long walk on the days when I don't exercise. And exercise is a great cure for stress, so I hope I remember that as I get closer to June.

    I think if I keep it up I should be tight like a tiger on wedding day :)

    Good luck to you! Be consistent!

    I am getting married on july 26! So excited! I started working out in January and have not lost much but toned a lot so far. I don't really have a weight goal I just want to be healthier and more fit.

    I am getting married July 20th. I just started getting serious about the weight loss thing. I have bounced back and forth, completely giving up and then going hard for a week, then giving up for 3 lol

    I have been eating healthy for a while now, and just started turbo fire - i love it!!!
    I'm hoping to drop 50-60 pounds by our wedding day.... eeeeyyyyikes

    I'm getting married July 20th!
    I've been trying hard to fit in exercise and healthy eating but its been a challenge with wedding planning, working full time and going to night school. My class just finished though so I'm ready to commit!

    I do barre ballet fitness a few times a week, I have a dance class once a week and will be doing the P90x and Insanity hybrid workout with my hubby2B starting in Feb (and going until July). We aren't trying to lose so much as we just want to look good- firm and tight and healthy in our pics and on our honeymoon.

    Stone is weight measurement in the UK. 1 stone is 14 lbs

    Also getting marrried on the 27th of July and im determined to be nice and thin for it!
    I havent been doing any exercise and i know that will come back at me soon so today is day one and im trying out yoga!
    I have lost 8kgs so far and im aiming for another 5. I have already bought the dress so I dont want to have to take it in too much!
    Good luck with losing it! I find the best thing to do is stick to your calorie intake...i have basically lost 1kg a week doing that. I feel very lucky its working!

    Hi ladies! I'm getting married August 10th of this year. I originally started tracking on this site a couple years ago and with tracking and exercise I went from 188 to 148, however within this last year of engagement I've gained and am back up to 161.5. I want to get down to 140, any smaller will be bonus. For now i'm working out with a dvd and weights, and doing cardio here or there. I know that staying on a good work out routine will get me to my goal weight. I need the motivation so add me! I only started tracking again within the last two weeks.

    Yuo, that's a lot, but I really hope I can do it :)))

    Hey everyone! My wedding is on July 20th 2013 and I am planning on losing about 25 more lbs.. About a month ago the realization hit me that the wedding would be here soon and I started 'The Eat Clean Diet'. So far I've lost 10 lbs without even focusing on working out. This month I want to keep up eating clean and workout 3-4 times a week. My biggest motivation is just thinking that I probably only have 3 more months until my first dress fitting and only 5 months total. That pretty much keeps me on track.

    It seems like most of you are pretty focused! Good luck. :smile:

    Hey everyone!!! My wedding is June 29th and my dress is in!!! i haven't lost any weight since they measured me to order the dress and it was a size 20!! never been in the ranges that started with a 2 before! I thought hearing that number would give me motivation to lose weight but I just can't do it!!! so this week was a great start for me and I hope it sticks instead of failing. Suppose to get my dress by the end of this month and then altered mid April!! I guess I dont have time to lose much bc I am a procrastinator!! I guess I just have to get the thought of looking how I look now for my wedding day!!

    I'm getting married July 13th this summer and definitely need the support. My dress came in today and while it's very forgiving waist-wise, my arms & face need some serious toning (especially after seeing the engagement pictures). She's not doing the first formal fitting until May, so I have a little bit of time to try and tighten up before that. Would love to be down at least 15 lbs by July, if not more!
    Would love to help other brides out too!

    @perrylaurae I'm getting married July 13 too! I'm trying to get down about 5 more pounds and tone up the arms. What workouts are you using? I'm walking and jogging and doing small weights. It works better when I can keep myself from eating all the extra calories I've earned :/
