    Hello Ladies!

    Congrats on your engagements! I am also a bride-to-be. My fiance and I will be walking down the aisle on September 28th, and I will be having family members throughout the world fly in to the US to take part in my wedding. I am so nervous that I will not meet my goal to lose 50 lbs by then. In the past month, I have lost 6 lbs, but I feel like it's taking too long! Ugh, much support is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

    i have an idea , dont pay attention to the scale.. as long as you look like you lost 50 lbs that's all that matters. so if you lost 35-40 or even 50 lbs i'm sure it'll look like you've lost more.. i know i didnt lose much in my first month 8 lbs ( could've been more but i struggle on the weekends haha)

    ... I know we as women INCLUDING myself as a bride to be 07/27/2013 my goal is to lose 30 lbs but as long as i look like i've lost that much that's fine with me... b/c in the end we are worried about what we look like on the big day....

    hope that helps

    I'm getting married in October and I am not happy with myself at all. I was doing really well for a while and lost 9 lbs pretty quickly, but for some reason my motivation has just plummeted. My original goal was to lose about 30 lbs before my wedding, but now I'm changing it to 25. I've got 16 more to go and I am just hoping that the summer sun will help flip that switch in my brain and get me back on track.

    I need some motivation! I'm getting married in two months and it'd down to the wire. I'd like to lose somewhere between 5-10lbs between now and June 22nd. I'm down 4lbs already. I just need some extra help, tips, motivation, and support from fellow brides trying to look their best in their wedding dress! Pictures are forreverrr

    Congratulations! I am getting married in a year so I have much longer to meet my goals...best of luck and I'm sure you'll look beautiful! :)

    I'm getting married on October 26th, 2013 (SIX MONTHS TODAY!) I've lost 30 lbs so far (since November), and I'd like to lose another 20 before then. What I REALLY need to do is start working on my arm tone...

    You know how they tell you to buy a dress that fits you at the time you buy it (and not to size down with the hope of losing weight?) Yeah, that was a size 20. My seamstress will have her work cut out for her. I've lived my entire life up to now in a plus size world. I refuse to be a plus size bride.

    On a related note. Does it annoy anyone else that bridal sizing is always a size number bigger than your regular clothes? When I bought my dress, I was wearing a size 18. If any industry should go the other way, it should be bridal! Haha.

    We are getting married on the same day!! Yayy!

    Hi! I am getting married Nov. 9 2013! Have ten lbs to lose! Seems so difficult to lose these last 10! Def trying to tone up as well with 30 day shred! While I havent seen any improvement on scale, I feel better and I also feel like I look better, hope I am not imagining it!!

    I could careless about the size honestly! I was pleasantly shocked I didn't look like an elephant in any of the dresses I tried on, they all were flattering in one way or another, let's face it, every bride looks good! I love the way the dresses are made, they instantly like suck you in or something lol.

    I'm getting married at the end of August and I still want to lose 10 pounds. Also definitely need to firm up the back/arms so they aren't as squishy looking.....I had been doing weight watchers since September but my progress totally stalled. So I decided to give MFP a try and am toying with the idea of maybe trying paleo in conjunction with that. Curious as to if any other brides are trying a somewhat last minute change like that. I'm a little worried as my job is crazy busy and I still have a ton of wedding stuff to do- not sure how much workout time is really practical! Anyway congrats and good luck to everyone!

    I picked up my wedding dress today and it is still just a bit too snug. I ordered it one size too small because I was planning on losing 25+ lbs and I wanted a bit of motivation. So far I've lost 10 lbs, but I still have another 15 to go. My motivation had all but disappeared, but trying that beautiful gown on has brought it back in a big way. I'm getting married October 5th and I know I have more than enough time to lose the weight (and tone up my back and arms.)
    I'm working out on a regular basis, but my real problem is food. I love my fiance so much, but man does he make it hard to be good. He is trying to be better about not tempting me with food, but when he cooks he makes the portion sizes about twice as big as they should be. AND, he is a home brewer and decided to surprise me by making me my favorite kind of cider and putting it on tap so that it is always just a quick pour away. I'm beginning to wonder if he secretly likes a little more meat on the bones.
