I thought it would be fun to have a place for all the soon to be brides on here to help motivate each other! I know the more help I have the better. Maybe we could weigh in each week on Sunday and post whether we've lost or gained. Hope I see others joining!!

Goal by June 18, 2011 (Wedding Date)
Lose 30 lbs.

    Sign me up!! I have tried to join several bride groups, but none of them have got off the ground so far, so let's get this one going.

    Sounds great girls. Tuesdays are perfect for me too! I like doing it after the weekend.

    I'm in too. Wedding date is April 9, 2011. Realistically, my goal is probably around 10 pounds, which I know doesn't sound like much. But since I have to eat every 2 hours, I'm lucky if I lose 1/2 pound in a week.

    All right ladies! Seeing as we started on a Tuesday, I figure we should do the first official weigh-in next week. Is anyone up for a challenge for next week? How does starting with 10 push ups and 20 crunches a day for the next 7 days? I'm game to try it!

    I'm glad to see other brides out there! (Especially since the last to-be-wed group I was in kind of evaporated. :frown:) I have just reached heavy planning mode, so life is getting a little crazy! Fun, but crazy.

    Wedding Date: January 2, 2011
    Wedding Goal: Around another 20 lbs, if possible. If not, I'm happy to maintain my current loss.

    I'm with you on the exercises everyday. This week I lost 1 more lb. So it would be nice to keep going. Good luck to all an can't wait to see how everyone does next Tuesday!

    I'm definitely looking forward to Tuesday's weigh in, although I suspect that some of my weight loss will come from being sick :( Oh well - at least I've been keeping up with the exercises! How's everyone else doing?

    Been walking everyday! Hopefully some weight will come off this week. I have noticed my pants getting a little baggy so I must be doing something right. Won't be able to do much on Thursday and Friday though, having sinus surgery blah!

    All right ladies, it's weigh in day! I hope that everyone has done well :) Here's hoping that next week is as good as this week was. How did everyone do with the challenge? I kept it up for the first 3 days then had to stop as I got sick :( Would someone else like to suggest a challenge for this week?

    Today: 135.3

    I am about the same, but I didn't do very well over the weekend, but have re-dedicated myself today! My goal for next Tuesday is 133.3.

    Also do you think next week there should be a post that says "Get Fit Brides Week 2"

    That would be good. We can start a new post and we can make goals for the following week. I like that idea a lot! :-)

    Sounds great to me ladies. I'll start one up. I stayed the same this week, but at least I didn't gain! I'll start the post. How about everyone do at least 20 sit-ups a day and a great 30 minute work-out two times during the week? I'm going to stick to it. Congrats to all the brides this week. Great job!!
