in Motivation and Support
I am getting married in just under 6 months (July 12) and I am looking for some support! I have already lost about 80 pounds but I have been slacking the last couple of months. I am really wanting to lose another 20ish pounds before my wedding so I will look great in my dress :) just looking for some friendly people to support me (and be supported back of course!) over the next few months to help me hit my goal - to lose 100 pounds all together and feel beautiful in my wedding dress! :)

    Hi :)
    I'm in the same boat- I lost 20 kilos over the last year or so, and would like to lose another 8-10 before my December wedding.
    Add me if you like :)

    Hi!

    My wedding is set for July 12th also (SO WEIRD) !!! I just began (January 1st) dieting, giving up all drinks except water and exercising 5 days a week (minimum). I am also hoping to lose weight and look good in my dress as well! :]

    My wedding at the end of May 2014 but I have to be in top shape for my dress fitting in Feb (I'm having the dress made bespoke so I think my dress maker is going to be a bit peeved if I change shape too much between Feb and May) other than toning up!

    I'm going with a "dry" January 4:3 fasting and the Insanity programme - am I mad!?

    Would love to join a group for support - 130 days to D-Day!

    I'm getting married 9/6/14. I need to lose 10 lbs to get back to where I was in my profile pic =). Hoping to have a bit lower body fat % than in the photo, too. I want a defined 6 pack for my honeymoon and teardrop quads! My fiance thinks I should focus less on my arms because they're getting a little "beefy", LOL! He's right ;).

    First of all, congrats! I'm still waiting for my boyfriend to put a ring on it. ;) lol However, I'm starting to lose weight in hopes that when he does I'll be at my goal weight and won't have to worry too much about losing weight for my wedding. I'll be your buddy, though! I'll send you a request. You can do it!

    YAY for Weddings!!!!!!!!!! OK So Im not getting married (I wish), BUT my sister is April 26th!!! And Im on a serious mission to get 15kgs, as The wedding IS going to be spread in a Nationwide Magazine. Ive already lost 13 kgs over the past 6 months, but need another 15 off in 3 months, so really need to push it and get some workouts in.

    jcnut,

    Your man already adores you and you are Beautiful. You already made it!

    That being said, if you feel like losing another 20# for yourself, go for it! That's pretty much what I said to my Beautiful wife years ago; and it is pretty much a standing opinion for any guy who is in Love and isn't a D-Bag.

    Now I'm going to leave because there is too much estrogen on this topic and I don't want to get any of it on the bike...

    Hahahaha!!:devil: :laugh:

    Hi :-)

    I'm getting married at the end of July this year, expecting a baby in May so will need all the support I can get once she is born to get into my wedding dress which I bought before I was pregnant! Currently using mfp to monitor my food to ensure I eat enough and eat enough nutrients so I'm on here every day. Feel free to add me :)

    I got married a few years back, and just applaud your decision to not try and lose it all at the last minute like I have seen others do.
    As if planning a wedding isn't stressful enough, without adding the extra pressure of extreme weight loss.
    Good luck.

    I'm getting married June 21st! I've really only got about 5 lbs for my goal weight and I'd like to cut my bodyfat down a bit. My dress fits now so it's not a HUGE deal if I don't lose the weight, but it is a bit snug so I'd like it to be a bit less snug if you know what I mean :)

    Sounds like you're doing an awesome job! I'm getting married in October 2014, though I started my weight loss efforts last July for a beach wedding this past December. I'm about 7lbs away from my goal, having lost about 17lbs overall already. I have a feeling that even though I have plenty of time to lose the weight, because I'm already close to my "ideal" weight they will take time to come off. Blech. Good luck!!!!!

    I'm getting married July 26th, would like to lose 40lbs. I need to de-stress and stop using food incorrectly. I sometimes eat instead of drinking water, doh! I would like people to share my journey and for me to share theirs. Haven't even thought about a dress yet, don't want to either, not looking like this :-( x

    I'm getting married in November and I'm hoping to lose 30 lbs before the big day. I lost 20 lbs last year, but since December I keep losing and regaining the same 5 lbs :grumble: I definitely need some more motivation, feel free to friend me so we can support each other.

    I'm getting married May 31, 2014! I've lost about 25 pounds since August and would like to lose another 15 before the wedding. I'm losing slow - goal of about 1 lb/wk. I started my journey before he proposed and it will continue after we're married. I truly want to make the lifestyle changes that will help me be fit and healthy. My goal weight is about 50 pounds away so I won't be there before the wedding and that's okay with me. He loves me and the weight I have lost has helped me feel more confident and beautiful so that I love me. I'm not worried about not being at an ideal weight for the wedding. I would love to give support and have support as we all getting closer to our big day! Congratulations everyone!!
