My wedding date is also set for 9/7/13 I'm hoping to lose 10-15 lbs in the next 7 months. 0

Alanna, glad I'm not the only one! I think 40 lbs in 7 months is do-able, but it's going to be tough. What do you all do for exercise? I'm been trying to make myself and addict!! It's beautiful and sunny today in Kentucky, where I live...about 65 degrees right now. I'm going to go for an hour long walk as soon as I leave the office. 0

I'm a techie, so I get a silly kick out of new toys. I've been starting to get into running, so I decided to buy a heart rate monitor last night. I couldn't wait to get up this morning at 5:30 AM to try the stupid thing out! I know, I know - I'm a little bit nuts, but it works. I also run with the Nike+ system and I love seeing my log of runs, comparing my times, seeing improvement, and now I can watch my heart rate improvement as I get more fit!0

i get married on the 7th sept 2013 as well. Struggling to motivate myself. I want to lose a stone and a half at least. Feel free to add me0
-
I think it's doable too! Just going to have to put in a lot of hard work! Right now I am "running" on the treadmill and taking spin classes. It's bitterly cold here in Newfoundland and there is snow covering the sidewalks so I don't have the luxury of exercising outside. I find getting my exercise in right after I leave the office is the only way it works for me, if I go home first I just stay there! ha! 0

I'm getting married Sept. 21st and looking to lose about 20 lbs before then. I've been working out 4-6 days a week, so I know I can do it!0
-
Good to hear everyone staying positive about thier weight loss! I lost 1.6 lbs this week!! I'm so happy! Just 16 more to go! How is everyone's wedding planning going? We got the receipt for our venue today. We are officially paid for!0
-
Congrats on your 1.6 loss! That's fantastic!
My office has a health and wellness program where we can get weighed in every two weeks, as of yesterday I am down 4lbs in two weeks! woo! Wedding planning is going well, almost everything that we need is booked, thinking about invitations now!0 -
Alanna - thats an awesome loss!! I bought my wedding band this weekend. It's gorgeous and it was 50% off! So i got it for $399 instead of $699! That's a deal.0
-
Good job brides! Keep up the good work! You will reach your goals and look gorgeous at your weddings!

This thread was just what I needed! I'm getting married September 28, and my first dress fitting is mid April. I want to lose 15 pounds by the big day!0
-
So what is everyone doing for exercise? I just printed out a treadmill workout that i'm going to start doing on the days that I don't work at Both of my jobs. It's about 45 minutes and it changes speeds and incline. I really hope that can kickstart my weight loss! I also need to do some sort of strength so that my arms aren't flabby in my wedding dress (that I haven't even started looking for yet...)0
-
My day is Sept 1st. already down 10 lbs, but need way more. Taking it 1 pound at a time. The worst part is that i hurt my foot and have been in a boot for the past 5 weeks so have not been to the gym, but at eating best i can. Feel free to add me; I share my diary to view and comment on.0

I've been mainly doing intervals on the treadmill, there is a lot of snow on the ground here so I'm stuck inside. I also do 30 Day Shred a couple times a week, going to need to step it up soon though I think.
I'm going to get measured and to order my dress tomorrow evening, so nervous as I haven't actually tried on the dress I'm ordering, just one similar to it... I must be crazy!0 -

I loved the 30 day shred when I started working out. Do you go to a gym? If so - does it have the les mills classes - body pump, body combat, etc? I do those for cardio / weight lifting and then I run twice a week.
Also, the Jillian Michael's "no more trouble zones" DVD is awesome for toning up legs and arms!0 -
Lots of September brides
For exercise I do group power (which is a 60 min strength training class, it uses a barbell and weights and works each part of your body). I try to do this at least 2 times a week, 3 if I can. I play soccer 2-3 times a week. Do other classes at the gym such as spin or circuit training. I also try to get in some cardio on my own: elliptical or running. Obviously each week is different
Wedding planning has been fun so far! Now its the tough part - paying for everything as the next set of payments continue to come up.
My dress came in last weekend and I tried it on and it fits well - just needs to come in around the chest. And now I know I want to work hard to really tone up an loose some of my belly so that it lays flat on my tummy without a bulge. So probbaly 5-10lbs max to go.0 -
My wedding is September 21st Very excited! Need to keep going i'd like to lose another 10 lbs and tone up for sure! I have found that my trouble area is snacking, really need to watch that! Otherwise i've been doing a lot of treadmill work so far, too much snow to run outside, i also want to run a 5k in june so i'm trying to train for that as well i also do some workouts off the dailyhiit website.
Getting really excited for the weddding- have cake tasting coming up and going bridesmaid dress shopping! 0 -
I am down another 1.4lbs from last fridays weigh in! Finally the scale is moving!!
We are going to be sending out our Save The Dates this weekend. A little late, but everyone coming is close friends/family and we know they will be there. We just had a friend deisgn them and we are printing them out on 4X6 photos and mailing them. Much cheaper, and they still look great!
At the end of this month, i'm going to start looking at dresses. I just got engaged at the end of January, so it's a lot to squeeze in a short amount of time! Whew!0 -

I've been hitting the gym 5-6 days a week for at least 1 hour, sometimes 2. My gym only offers classes and they are so much fun! Definitely keeps my motived. I've been doing a really intense spin class at least 2 days a week and a few circuit training and boot camp classes. They only allow 10 people max in each class, but sometimes theres only 3-4 so its almost like having a personal trainer.
I'm not so concerned about weight, but I want to look AMAZING! My arms are the area that needs the most work, my dress is strapless with a corset so my midsection already looks good, but I want awesome arms!0 -

Love LOVE Love SPin classes and Circuit ones too.
Does you gym offer Group Power? Its an amazing barbell class it has REALLY helped my arms get toned0 -
What type of Nike+ system do you use? I'm considering investing in one. Just went to the website and there's a lot of options. There's the fuel band, sports band, sportswatch gps, etc... I'm confused. I want something to track my calories throughout the day and to use for training for a 5k. Any suggestions?0
-
I use the Nike+iPod transmitter (the little round thing that goes in/on your shoe). It tracks distance while running/walking so it'd be great for your training and you can usually find them for $20 or so. As far as tracking throughout the day, I'm not as good of a resource on that as I don't do it - I've heard the Fuelband is good and a lot of people really like the Fitbit.0
