    congratulations on the pending nuptials, you will find lots of inspiration here. And giving yourself a year is very realistic. I don't know what your goals are, but you can develop some good habits and see results in a year. Welcome!

    Hey bride! My wedding is the same month, same year and I have a lot of losing to do before then. I've been putting it off for a while now, saying I'll get on it soon but soon came today. I just finished putting up pictures of wedding gowns I love around the house for inspiration. I have no idea what my fiance will think of this but, frankly, I don't care!!! haha I also just finished day 1 of the 30 day shred and plan on doing the whole shebang this time. I can't see myself wearing a white gown the size I am right now so I had better lose weight. There's a wedding coming and I kind of want to be a part of it. :)

    My wedding is July 2011 and I need to get my butt in gear! Glad to see there are other people in the same situation as me!

    Anyone want to be buddies so we can help each other stay sane through the wedding planning process and weight loss process? Add me!

    I wish I would have taken control of my weight as soon as I got engaged so I would have had a year to lose and year to maintain but I was way too lazy. Ugh!

    it helps that i'm in a wedding august 2011...and i am by far the biggest girl out of 7...they are literally all a size 0...now i know i'll never be that size but i'd like to look a little healthy, and not like i just ate their wedding cake

    It's sad to say, but I'm glad I don't have tons of really skinny friends in my group of close friends. I find it very intimidating to be the fat girl in a group of skinny girls! Although one of my friends (my MOH) is going to hopefully become a skinny girl with me since we both want to lose weight to look good at my wedding.

    That's awesome motivation...my MOH isn't tiny either...but my bridesmaid (the one i'm standing up for) is the size of my thigh...unfortunetly my MOH isn't jumping on my bandwagon...neither is my fiance for that matter lol but that just means i'll be the hottest one at this party! It's funny, you should see my broomsmen...they're both really tall and skinny...and then there's my fiance, he's Super tall, and has a 56' shoulder span...so we have a very odd looking wedding party. but what can you do when your friends are odd?

    Congrats to all you brides-to-be!! That is definitely great inspiration to start losing! I am hoping to lose so that I can become a bride-to-be.

    Happy losing ladies!!

    My MOH and bridesmaid are both quite a bit larger than me, but my bridesmaid just had a baby so I don't expect her to be tiny! I wish my bridesmaid lived closer so she could join us at the gym and we could all be fit and healthy, but maybe I can help inspire her I guess. I'm almost 5'2 and my fiance is 6'4 and I haven't met his best man so idk if he's tall but my MOH and bridemaids are both a good 6"-10" taller than me. I'm going to look like a midget!
