I'm so looking forward to a new challenge - thanks so much for getting another one going. I have been sitting at the same 185 for more than a month now and it has been very frustrating/depressing. I would really love to lose another 10-15 pounds before I go wedding dress shopping. I really need to kick it into high gear.

So, my goal by the end of these 12 weeks would be to be at 170. I want to increase my water intake and do more strength training. I need you ladies to motivate me and keep my focused!!

Hello!
I am really looking forward to a new challenge! I have been hovering at 181 for a few weeks until the past two weeks I was a bridesmaid for a wedding and then spent a week out of town for business- so I weighed in today at 183. Not bad but I would love to hit the the low 170s by the end of this 12 week challenge. It would be great if I can lose 10-15 pounds in 12 weeks! I still have about a year away until my wedding but I am really focused and determined to drop the weight! I am trying the -20% tdee, doing 1 day of cardio (spinning) and 2 days weight lifting (rip class) however I want to add more exercise to my routine. Super Excited to start up again!

Hey There, I sat out a couple seasons ... now I am back in the game! I have not had much luck away :noway: So, I decided I needed to come back and get with it. My wedding in Dec. is fastly approaching!

My Goal is to lose 20 pounds in the next twelve weeks. That puts me at about 1.6 pounds a week.
To get to this goal, I am hoping to start a boot camp (My problem is i am pretty dependent on others when it comes to working out, I don't want to do it alone.... but isee the need to get over that!) I will up my water intake and start measuring my food intake better.

Good luck everyone! Let's Do This! :laugh:

I am so ready to get this going again. Weight has been up 3-4 pounds since the last one.
I need this. I am only 4 months away from the wedding and 3 months away from the first dress fitting.

Yay! Can't wait for the new challenge. I would like to lose 10 lbs before my wedding. I am feeling good where I am at but 10 lbs would be awesome. I really need to also work on toning my arms and legs up.

Hi all, just joined. I'm getting married next fall

Gained a few pounds back and would like to get back to where I was and good use some support!

So Excited to start another challenge. I have started weight trainer with a personal trainer so even though I am at 189, my inches have dropped greatly. Weight loss may be slow this time around, but I am going to focus more on inches.

My wedding is Aug 4, so about 5 weeks away and fast approaching. I have had two fittings, and my final is July 9th. My dress fits perfectly, and I would like to lose at least 5 pounds so I can enjoy my wedding food and drink, and not feel like I am squished into my dress.

SW- 189lbs
GW- 184lbs for the wedding,


Thats five more pounds by the wedding. My honeymoon is Sept 11, so if I could lose 10 lbs in the next 12 weeks that would be great.

UGW- 179lbs for honeymoon.

Hey Brides!

It's good to be back! Between the wedding and honeymoon, I got up from 163 to 173, but I'm already back down to 167. My goal for this cycle is 155. 158 is my lowest weight on this WL journey! We've started marathon training, so if I keep up with that and stay on target, I should be at a better racing weight in no time! I'll update this with my measurements soon.

Let's do this!!!

Awesome! I just started marathon training too! Mine is in December... when is yours?

Let's try this again!

I was initially involved in Cycle 1, but life reared up, hit me in the face, and I decided to let the referee count me out ala boxing style. I'm pulling a Rocky, and I'm jumping back into the game.

I'm getting married this October - so very excited! I have spent the last three weeks really focusing on my calorie intake, and this week I have started walking/Dance Central with Xbox, so I am getting into a good routine. My ultimate goal is to reach 140/150 lbs, but for this challenge, I am looking to at least hit 175 lb.

It's going to help that some of my bridesmaids and I have a little personal weight loss bet going on FatBet, with the losers buying the winner a bicycle. My competitive streak is at an all time high. It would be an awesome wedding present to be able to ride around my neighborhood on a new bike.

Height: 5'7
SW: 191 lb on Sunday
CGW: 175 lb for MFP Brides
UGW: 140/150 lb --- and/or healthy, rocking, and with tons of energy!

I'm back! I'm down to 173-175 (water weight :ohwell: ) so I'm looking to get back at it! My wedding is October 4, 2014 so a ways to go yet but my goal is to fit into a size 10 sample dress at a boutique here. Fingers crossed Lets do this!

Hey everyone! Great to see you all again!

I did cycle 1, but then life got crazy and I stepped out of cycle 2. I also pushed my wedding back a year because we bought a house instead. Couldn't afford everything all at once, so the wedding took the back seat. Just gives me more time to look kick *kitten* in my dress, right? LOL

SW: 216.2 (gained BOO!)
Goal weight: 200

Hi Ladies,
I just joined this group and I'm so happy to see some other future Brides working on a similar goal and supporting one another! I've gained about 40lbs in the past 3 years and I would love to feel healthier again and have more energy. We just set our wedding date for 03/29/14, so I really need to get motivated. I'm also in one of my best friends' wedding this Oct. 2013, and I'd like to have lost at least 15-20lbs by then (hopefully!). Thank you for starting this group ladies! My goal is to lose 1.5 lbs per week, so 18 lbs. by Oct. 1, 2013.

SW: 176
GW (in 12wks): 158
Ultimate GW: 130

I would like to joi this motivation challenge. I am getting married on 10.13.13 and still have 10 lbs left

AHH mine is 9/28!! My original wedding goal was 185 and right now I'm 184 but am starting to get majorly stressed out finishing up all the little details so am very worried about maintaining it. I got my first 3 zits since college finals 3 years ago... Thank goodness my face has cleared up and now I am onto stress cancer sores (maybe they will discourage stress eating?). The reason I am still doing so much last minute is that my fiance and I decided to buy our first house in July and it turns 50 next year so we had to do a few renovation projects pre move-in. Now we are in but I have everything in boxes everywhere and trying to plan a wedding at the same time...

My biggest pet peeve is when people say "oh well I'm sure you've got everything under control by now". Anyone else keep getting that? Anyway thanks so much to you ladies for helping me reach my goal! I haven't been on in a while but have been hanging onto it. I couldn't have done it without you, haven't been this thin since Junior year of high school
