I'm getting married on October 29th and I have a good 25-30 lbs I wanted to lose by then. My current workout routine mostly consists of using my Elliptical, sometimes on a "smart program", and sometimes not. Also started some crunches, cut out a lot of pop/soda, and have kept my snacking to a minimum. I guess what I'm looking for are other people who are looking to lose around the same in around the same time? This website is a fabulous tool to have and I plan to use it much more in the future. Oh yea, I'm 5' 1 3/4", do you think I could lose that much in less than 3 months? Just curious as to what people think.

    Hi! I'm also trying to loose! My goal is roughly 20 pounds between now and Halloween. My wedding is Nov 6th, so I'll be married about a week after you!.

    Feel free to add me as a friend if you like. :-)

    I am not losing weight for a special occasion but I am 5'1-3/4" also and I started MFP April 17, 2010 and to date have lost 32 pounds. Tomorow is my weigh-in day so it may be more along the lines of 34 pounds lost. :) So, you can do it!! :)

    Anything is possible! I am right there with you! We're planning on getting married mid-October and I still have at least 9 more lbs to go! But I am working hard at it, and although I still have that little bit to go, I look better than I did when I was 10lbs thinner a few years ago thanx to exercise & the promise I made to myself when I started this site in January: exercise every work-day (I wake up at 4AM to workout before I shower & get ready) and if we need to go somewhere on my off-work days, I wake up extra early to still workout (I woke up early last weekend to workout before I showered & got dressed to spend the day at Universal Studios!). I have my dress already, and last time I tried it on, I know I already need a bit of alteration:happy:
    If you would like, friend request me ((you too Scncartist)), and we can ensure that we all look great on our "Special" day :happy: Anytime you need some extra support, words of encouragement, or just a little boost, just message :flowerforyou:

    i looked wonderful and skinny on my wedding day (almost 3 years ago) then i had 2 kids and packed on a good 20! LOL Congrats on all of you who are getting married! Bear in mind that you WILL gain weight once you get married if you arent careful :)

    Hope you all lose your planned weight and all look stunning in your gowns! Im jealous, i wish i could do it again!
