Hey everyone!

My name is Danielle, I'm 25 years old and marrying my high school sweetheart on August 16, 2014! I have a nice bit of it planned, but I need to lose some weight before I dare try on a dress! I'm currently 225 pounds, would like to be 160 by the wedding, but maybe I'll start trying on dressing when I weigh 199!

Hey Everyone! First of all, congrats to all of you!! My name is Nicki, I'm 28, and I just got engaged 3 weeks ago We're planning a fall 2014 wedding (no set date yet), and am trying to get in shape for not only our big day, but for the start of the rest of our life together. I'm 210 now (started at 218) and would like to get down to 150. I would love to make some new friends during this experience and would appreciate any encouragement! Thanks!

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

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!

My name is Sarah. I've been engaged since September of 2012, and we are getting married the end of May 2014. I'm looking to hopefully lose a significant amount of weight, my goal is 60 pounds to start. Would love for anyone in this group to add me as a friend to keep the motivation going!

congrats to all the beautiful bride to be's! We are still deciding on a December '13 wedding or spring '14. we are late to the game! lol. For all of you struggling and/or doubting yourselves, since I have combined the support from MPF and Plexus Slim to my daily habits the past month - I have lost over 13 inches and 8 pounds! I have never felt so great, nor did I think it was possible to do! I am in by no means ready for dress shopping (don't think I am not mentally strong enough for that yet lol), but I am well on my way and I will get there. Your goal can be reached!

Whether you think you can or can't - you will always be right!

Please feel free to add me as a friend or message me! best of luck with the rest of weight loss!

Hello Beautiful Brides of 2014!
My name is Sarah, and my fiancee Matt and I got engaged on December 19, 2012.
We are planning our wedding for September 6, 2014 - so the one year countdown is not far away ! eek! I would like to have a dress picked out by Christmas.

29 years old
5'7"
CW: 206
GW: 175

I've lost the weight before, and confident that with MFP and personal training, I can do it again. Anyone have experience with the Foundations First offer from GoodLife Fitness clubs? I'm starting next week with a package of 2x per week for 9 weeks. Exorbitantly expensive - but hopefully worth it.

Good luck ladies - we can DO THIS!!

Hello all! First off, congratulations to all of us!! This is supposed to be an exciting time for us brides-to-be but if you are anything like me you are cringing at the idea of dress shopping and having your photo taken. We got engaged in February 2013 and by April I had joined MFP. I have had 20lbs of success so far but I have a long ways to go. I am 29 yrs old and will be marrying the love of my life in July of 2014. This means I have 1 year to make up for a lifetime of laziness, lack of self-control, and unhappiness. I don't just want to lose weight for the wedding; I want to lose weight to be a healthier me and giving myself the deadline of our wedding fits well within a reasonable time frame to lose the 110lbs I need to. I will also be turning 30 next month and I am not entering my 30s without a game plan! So here it is: I am taking out the garbage. All of it. I am throwing out all the junk food. I am tossing out lame excuses to eat poorly and not exercise. I am trashing the idea that socialization has to revolve around food. I am ditching those people who seek to sabotage my success. I am no longer going to live in a dump of denial - the one where it's not a big deal I am a "few pounds overweight". I am obese and have no one to blame but myself. I have spent the entirety of my 20s weighing around 250lbs and because of that I have missed out on a lot. I am not going to keep missing out when I am in my 30s. My future children and my fiance need this for me too so I need your help! Keep me motivated and I will keep you motivated! It may take a village of brides-to-be but we can do this together.

hi everyone!

Hi All!

My name is Gina and I live on Long Island. I'm 4'11'' and I honestly don't know what my current weight is, but I'm sure I've gained a few pounds back. Looking to lose around 10 pounds for the wedding.

I got engaged on 6/1/13 (our 5 year anniversary). We are getting married 11/7/14.

Hi Everyone,

My name is Elizabeth and I got engaged almost a month ago. We are getting married June 1st 2014. I still have a lot of weight to lose but I would be happy if I could get down to 199. Right now I'm currently at 273. My fiance and I already have a little girl, she is almost 10 months old. I gained a lot of weight with and after the pregnancy, and now I just want to look good for our wedding.

Hi all,

I'm 5'3" and from Northern Ireland too like Ang! I got engaged in Paris on 13 Nov 2011 and after 10 years together, I'm getting married to my fiancé in July 2014 - one year today to be exact! And I would love to be at least 145lbs on the day so 16lbs to go. Post baby I weighed in at 180lbs and I still have alot of stubborn post baby weight that I have been lazy and not focused on shifting (she's not a baby anymore so I have no excuse!) Recently started running for the first time EVER so I'm hoping that will help go along way to reaching my goal.

Hi Everyone,

I am happy to find this group, I've never really joined a community before and do everything on my own but I love seeing everyone else's progress and I think I might succeed better with some motivation!
I am getting married in February 2014 and I want to be able to buy a dress that I love not just one biggest it fits ok. I want to look at my wedding photos with pride and not disgust.
So far I have lost 6.6kg (14.5 lbs) in 10 weeks. I still have another 23kg (51lbs) to go to reach my goal weight but I will be happy losing 18k as that will put me back at what I was 5 years ago as back into my old clothes! Can't wait to hear everyone else's results to help keep me motivated!

Hi, my name is Tara and I'm getting married May 10, 2014. I have my dress but have not had it altered yet so it's still exchangeable. It is a corset back and can be altered down as much as two sizes so I am not worried about it. I'm just going to work as hard as I can to lose weight and look as beautiful as I can for my FH.
I'm glad to find this group as I can use as much motivation and encouragement as I can get. I am just now getting my diet back under control. I've started back to the gym with my wonderful workout partner/bridesmaid and we are having fun with it.

Hi, my name is Nicholle, and I have been with my man for three years and just recently got engaged! We are getting married in September of 2014, and I really want to feel great on my wedding day, which is why I have recommitted myself to getting healthy.

I'm 5'9" and 21 years old. When i began my fitness pal journey I weighed 265lbs. I'm currently down to about 245lbs. and my goal is to get under 200lbs!! If any of you are looking for some moral support or more fitness pal friends feel free to add me!
