Bride-to-be... what should my goal be?

Hi everyone :)

In 2012 I went from 180lbs UK size 16 to 147lbs UK size 12!

Here's my before and after...

Anyway... I'm getting married on 21st December 2013 and need a bit of help with setting my new goal. I've been so used to having 'loads of weight' to lose that now it's quite hard to decide where I want to be... a UK size 10 bride or a UK size 8?

From looking at my pics, what size do you think I would look my best at? I'm planning on exercising along with my diet (probably swimming as it works really well for inch-loss for me!) and want to focus on being toned as well as being smaller!

What do you think I should aim for?

    How tall are you? I'd say as one fairly recently married, aim for your goal a fair bit before the wedding, as you'll be so stressed coming up to it weight loss may be far from your mind! What you aim for depends on your height/build etc, but I'd say you already look pretty damn amazing!

    Also, congrats on the wedding & best of luck! :-)

    Same height as me! My goal weight is 133lb (9 and a half st), and I'm hoping to be a size 10ish by then. If you like your curves, at 5 ft 7 I'd aim for a size 10 :-)

    Firstly, congratulations on your engagement. I think a size 10 would be really nice but you already look absolutely fantastic so don't stress too much hun :-) I'm getting married in August 2014 (partner of 10 years proposed at Christmas :smile: ) so I have already started my weight loss journey, although I have absolutely loads to lose. Started my journey 3 weeks ago at 232lbs and a UK Size 20, and aim to get down to a size 10/12. Ambitious??? Yeah, but I'm determined I'm gonna do it and have lost nearly 10lbs already :-) I'm also 5" 7 xxx

    I agree with the size 10!
