Hii, My name is Stephanie and my fiance Luke is also a member on MFP, we got engaged over Christmas break (December 27) and our date is August 23 2014. We're both trying to lose weight before the big day, and specifically trying to lose 23lbs by August 2013. I'm 24 years old, and have struggled with eating and my weight my entire life, topping at one point at 283lbs, and having been down as low as 197lbs in the past year. Over the last 4 months I've gained around 24lbs back and I would like to shed that before the one year anniversary for our wedding, August 23 2013 which is when I will start looking for my wedding dress!0

Hi Beautiful Brides!
My name is Chelsea and I'm marrying my best friend Tony on May 25th, 2014!
I'm so happy to be his wifey I can't stand it - not to mention the fact that I'm totally stoked to throw a big *kitten* party!
That being said, I'm very nervous about losing weight before the big day.
I've struggled with my weight my entire life - yoyoing between 145-185 since adulthood.
When I began to date my fiance I was 150 and going down... then I gained THIRTY POUNDS the first year we were together... just being fat and happy together.
I've been working very hard to lose about 25 pounds over the next year and have began to get very lazy, happy, and fat... again.
Now that I have a ring, and a date, this is serious!
I want to be 145lbs before I walk into a dress shop- and I want to do that about a year before the date... so I have around 3 months to lose 24 pounds.
I feel like I can do it, but I'm such a chronic overeater, stress eater, eater out of boredom... I have a tendency to eat.
So I'm back on MFP and began daily zuumba sessions on wii as of today.
Wish me luck and I wish you all a happy happy engagement time!

Hello Ladies!
My name is Jillian and my fiancé and I have been together for 6 years, engaged for 6 months. Our wedding date is February 15th, 2014 and so my year count down has officially begun as of a week and a half ago! My main goal is to look good in our pictures and I'm thinking my magic number is 125. Currently at 150, I have some work to do!
Good luck to everyone!0 -

Hey I'm Ellen.
I'm getting married Oct 4/14 and got engaged on May 8th, 2012. Long engagement, eh?!
My colours are black, white, blush and silver with a vintage glam sort of feel. The ceremony and reception will take place at a hotel here on the east coast of Canada.
I hope to get down to 140 pounds, currently at 179 and started at 195 (my highest EVER). Always looking for more support, so feel free to add me if you'd like some support too. Having my dress picked out is good motivation 0 -

Hey guys! I'm Caroline. I've been engaged for like 10 days! We are getting married in May 2014. I'm currently 5'1 and 3/4 and I50lbs. I want to be a size 2-4 for the wedding. I'm hoping MFP plus Jillian Michaels will help me get there!

Been there before!! Had to find a suit for a job interview and NOTHING looked good!! I feel your pain! BUT 4 months down the line in eating less (not always better) and exercising (my housemate and I started running together) got some old clothes fitting me again which is amazing! Sometimes the progress is slow and you want to lose motivation... you will have cheat days, cheat weekends, rest days and rest weeks but get back on track and keep it up. No matter how small, a loss is still a loss, a 10 min run, you're still lapping everyone on the sofa 0

Hi Everyone!!!
I'm Amanda, I'm 29, and I'm getting married on April 27, 2014. I just reached the one year countdown this past weekend, and it's getting exciting!
This is a second marriage for both myself and my fiance, so we aren't having the traditional HUGE wedding. We will have around 60 people, and are holding the ceremony/cocktail hour/reception at a local bed and breakfast. We've got a lot of the huge stuff planned already, and are only looking for a few more things to complete our day.
Any 2014 brides can feel free to add me! I have been close to maintenance (within 5-7 lbs of my goal weight) for a year now...but it's still a struggle to stay on track many days. I'm currently 5'3" and about 125lbs!0 -
Hey y'all! I'm getting married April 5, 2014. I have lost about 23 pounds so far and still have a little over 100 to be at my goal weight for my wedding! 0
