I am getting married Sept 15. Just was told by the lady that is altering my dress (i bought it off the rack) that she wants to do the "first" fitting August 1st... that's 84 days away! Time to get my butt in shape!

Hi, I'm a late joiner. Getting married on 21 September and trying to lose the last few stubborn pounds. And maybe, just maybe, I might be able to keep the weight off after the wedding too... and beat the yo-yo habit which I have had for the last decade

We had a wedding crazy last two weekends but got a lot of things knocked off our to-do list. Invites and RSVP cards are ordered, the guys' formalwear is picked out, the address list is almost final, picked our cake design and flavors, finished the necklaces and earrings I'm making for my girls, almost finished the cufflinks we're making for the guys, figured out 95% of our wedding ceremony and music,and found/booked a ridiculously good pianist!

Glad to hear things are going well for the rest of you - like bburg, I can't believe it's only 101 days until my wedding!!

Hey Ladies- today's update: I signed up for four sessions with a personal trainer! Once a week for this coming month.... I did a "quick sample workout" for 30 minutes with her last night and thought I was going to die. It's amazing to me how I've been thinking I'm working out but totally not pushing myself in that way at all. Anywhoo, I have my next session with her on Saturday (after a social Friday german festival beer-drinking outing), so, either it'll be a disaster or (what I'm banking on) it'll motivate me to keep it in check on Friday nite. :-)

I've had my dress all along (I bought a sample that was almost new but being sold for a ridiculously good price since the style was discontinued randomly) but my first fitting is July 19. It fit me almost perfectly when I bought it but now that I've lost some weight, it'll unfortunately need to be taken in on top and hopefully through the waistline too. Lol, like my wonderfully supportive fiance says, that's good money to need to spend though!
