I've got tons of family weddings coming up so I always feel like I'm trying to lose weight before the next one.0

I think having more energy in the craziness that is wedding planning is a huge bonus! Sometimes a run or walk or bike ride or something is all you need to clear your head - refreshing physically and mentally0

Hi!
I'm joining in here, I'm sweating for my wedding, but it's not till Early 2015, so I have about 18 months to get my sweat on.
I'd like to lose about 15(ish) pounds. I've been going at this now for about 2 years already and slowly it's coming off, just taking its time.
Feel free to add me! xxx0 -
Boy, you gals have the right idea, give yourself lots of time! I'm getting married in late January and started ratcheting up my activity level last October after we were engaged. I got back my "college aged" fitness level and am pretty pleased! I just re-set my goal so I can take it up a notch these last few months. I still stick to my first love - spinning class - but have added weight lifting and trail running, which I am learning to like better, it is definitely a challenge.0

What is with the obsession with losing weight just for the wedding? I hate it, its all you see in wedding magazines and forums.
I'm getting married in March, but it is not the reason i'm getting into shape. I want to be a healthier and fitter person fullstop. That will not suddenly end when the wedding is over.
Totally agree -- the media and the wedding industry have brainwashed people (not just the ladies, guys are obsessing too) to believe they have to be the absolute skinniest (not fittest, not happiest, not lovey-dovey-iest) they can possibly be on the day they happen to marry another person. I think it stems from the out-dated belief that once a person gets married, they have kids right away and their body will never be what it once was. Both of these things are no longer true. Want to wait or just don't want kids? Great! Want to have kids right away? Great! You can still get back into shape once they are born. People do it all the time.0 -
My wedding is May 2014, I want to get in shape for overal health purposes, with the wedding as a tangible, fixed goal to work towards.
My honey is on board too, he's here, we just joined a gym, we're making weekly meal plans, and supporting each other. It's grand, he's a keeper for sure.0 -
Hi all,
I'm getting married next December 5th (2014) and am hoping to lose 10 kilos before ordering my dress at the start of next year. In response to the poster who made the point about a wedding being about marrying the love of your life, rather than weight - I couldn't agree with you more, but a lot of people find a concrete goal helps them with their loss, rather than a general 'I want to...' goal..
Looking for some motivation mates, if anyone is interested x0 -
I'm definitely sweating for the wedding - it's coming up soon - December 2013! I've lost 30ish lbs and hope to lose about 10-15 more! it's been tough but eventually will be so worth it to have that proud moment walking down the aisle. best wishes to everyone and congratulations to the brides and future brides!

Getting married April 19th, and really struggling to keep my calorie intake down in addition to working out - you never realize the amount of mindless snacking until you log everything, eh? Hoping to drop 25-30lbs by April, and I think it's doable, I just really have to be more disciplined! Good luck to all you gals, and feel free to friend me if you need another cheerleader!0

I'm sweating during pregnancy to make sure I can fit into my Matron of Honor dress for my sister's wedding.0

hows everyone going in preparation for their weddings?!? good I hope! I've got 6 weeks until my wedding, doing intense exercise every day (turbo fire) and eating very healthy... have seen some results which is good.0

I'm getting married in 5 and a half months. Have lost close to 4kg and I have another 8kg to go to hit my goal weight. I won't be too stressed if I don't make it as long as I can tone my back and arms up before the big day.0

I'm getting married in April 20140

I'm a bride to be! Engaged for 4 days! Have been on MFP for a few weeks already, but now have even more motivation. Would love some others in the same situation to add me. I'd like to lose around another 5kgs/10 pounds (I'm petite). Also have lots of toning to do.0

cool title. i suggest you make a workout video or youtube series of workout videos and title them that. also dress up in various silly bride inspired garb. lol. just kidding. but not about the name. capitalize on that catchy phrase.0

I'm getting married August next year.
Problem is that I have already bought a dress that fits me. It's a corset type, so hopefully losing weight won't affect it too much. I have to do adjustments anyway next January, so my target is to lose most of my weight by then and then mostly maintain!0 -
I'm getting married on 01st March 2014. I had already lost close to two stones however I am hoping to lost another 14/21 pounds for the wedding which was my goal for then anyway, wedding or no wedding. I have my dress and it fits however I need to get the length altered so if I need to get the bodice altered as well it's no big deal. I refuse this year to put on my annual Christmas 10 pounds and spend the first part of the New Year getting them back off.0

I'm getting married on 17th April 2014 and I am back on mfp to lose the baby weight for the THIRD time. Youngest baby is 6 months old so why the hell I left it so long I do not know. I have roughly 40lbs to lose, asap. I've done it before (just before I got pregnant on youngest) with mfp and just need the motivation to do it again. Any other brides to be in similar situation please add me, the pressure is unbelievable!! x0

It's my last week to watch what I'm eating and get a few more workouts in. My dress isn't very forgiving so gotta watch that bloat:blushing:0 -
I'm going to be a bridesmaid next month.0

My "wedding" is next week, but it's nontraditional - elopement. Still really excited. I have lost enough that I think I'll look good in the dress I purchased in July. Excited for all the other future brides too!!!0
