Calling all Brides!

I just rejoined MFP last week and have already got some wonderful new friends on here. My focus and my goal right now is my wedding which is on March 1st 2014. I'd love to be friends with other brides or maybe even someone who has an even around that time?

Currently, I'm 5'4 and 158lbs and I'd like to be between 135-140 for my wedding. So my goal is to lose about 20-25lbs.

Also, even if you're not a bride-to-be, I'd still love to be friends with you! I love it when people post regularly and share their food diary. I find it super inspiring :)

    Hello!

    I'm engaged as well and trying to look great on my wedding day. I want to slim down and bit a tone my arms!
  • I'm getting married November 2014! I'd like some other bride-to-be friends too! I'd already been on MFP for a few weeks when I got engaged and had lost a few kgs, I've now lost a couple more and want to slowly lose another 3-5kgs (6-11 pounds) before the wedding. I'm 5'1 and currently 53.6 kg (118 pounds)

    Congratulations! Our date is a little further into 2014 (July 20th!!!!) but I am also shredding for the wedding! I have lost 20lbs but have about 40 more to go til I am at my goal weight! I started at 204 lbs back in March of this year...We can do it! Here is to staring off our married lives the healthiest and happiest we can be!
  • I just got engaged in May! I'm still in school, so we're waiting until June 2015 to get married. But how exciting. Congratulations to you all!

    Getting engaged gave me a swift kick to the rear when it comes to my weight loss goals.

    I too am 5'4", but I'm at about 170 pounds. I'm hoping to be between 130-140 by my wedding day!

    Please add me and we can chat weddings :)
  • Bride here! Wedding is March 21, 2014! Rejoined MFP as well...definitely need to get in shape! I'm 5'4'', weigh around 150 :(...but my goal weight is 120....LET"S DO THIS!

    I'm a bride too :) we get married in May! I'm currently about 150lb, started at 184lb, and would like to be about 135lb for my wedding.
  • Bump!
  • Hi all! I'm a bride to be in Sept. 2014. I've put off weight loss for a long time now and I am apprehensive about getting all this weight off! I'm 5'4 currently 237 and need to get down to 170 before the wedding. I need to lose about 70lbs before the big day! I'll be glad to take on this journey with anyone else who needs a pal! :smile:

    Hey everyone! I'm a bride-to-be, getting married October 11, 2014. I'm hoping to lose 40-50 lbs by then. I've had success on here in the past, and I'm ready to dig in again.

    10/04/2014 bride. I don't have a goal per se, I just want to feel good and confident. I don't have a number I am stuck on , I just want to see myself and think I look good.

    Just lifting, eating well when I can and focusing on being happy!
  • i'm getting married June 14th!! i joined MFP a while ago (right after buying my dress of course) and lost almost 20lbs. i'm just a few pounds away from my goal weight, but i'm in maintenance mode until a few months before the wedding because i don't want to get burnt out.

    i love having active friends, so feel free to add me!

    The Dress looks stunning but beware of buying online from china as most of the comments are not real ones haave a look at this .-( http://www.xojane.com/clothes/it-happened-to-me-i-bought-my-wedding-dress-on-ebay. But a friend got married last year and used this company and was extremely happy with the dress its details and how it fit ......... another friend of hers has since got a wedding dress from the same company and is also happy. I am gettng married on the 13th June 2014 and plan to order mine with them but ts up to you, just word of mouth is alway better than a hit and miss situation...

    Hey All - I got engaged this July and we're getting married in September 2014. I thought this ring on my finger would light a fire under me but I just can't seem to stay motivated. I'm currently around 235lbs & I hope to be around 150 or less for the big day. I would love to have more bride friends. I've struggled with being over weight most of my life - I would be so disappointed to feel and look this way on the biggest day of my life. I will take all the support that I can get and would love to support all of you right back!!!

    Congrats & Good Luck, Ladies! :)
