edited September 22 in Motivation and Support
I know a lot of people that I've friended on here are due to be married. I thought it might be fun to start a forum topic for just us gals. We can use it to post our goals, give ways we can motivate ourselves, offer fun workout ideas, add good recipes and even vent on days that we don't do that well. Also, we can share wedding planning ideas! Anyone else in!?

    I'm not officially engaged yet....
    but we are thinking of getting married late next year or early 2012...

    So I would love to join..
  • I'm in.
  • I've married now for a year and a half but I know how much stress it takes to lose weight before your wedding. You really need the support considering all that comes with planning a wedding and getting ready to take that major life changing step. Every bride to be needs the extra support! And trust me you can do it. 3 months and lost 15 lbs, it was hard but it can be done!

    i'm in...I'm getting married July 7, 2012...my party favors just came in yesterday, hell yeah I got them for 50 cents a piece! i got over half off each one...awesome score
  • I'm in! Got engaged late October, and the wedding will be around the same time. No date set yet. But I'm trying to take off 50-60 lbs. In a year is doable...right?

    fabulous idea! im in! i just had a baby mid august and getting married may 7, 2011. after losing the post labor weight i was 185, now got down to 167 but hope to be back at 135 by my wedding. I was 135 before and AFTER having my first child but gained 30 pounds after that before getting pregnant with my second. so technically ive lost al the baby weight from this baby because i was exactly 167 when we decided to get pregnant, just have 32 lbs to go in 5.5 months! id love to share/get ideas from you girls!

    Our wedding is June 18, 2011. I would like to weigh between 125-135. I'm currently at 170, so I really need to get my butt in gear! I think we've got pretty much everything planned out except for minor decorations. I'm expecting my bouquets, bouts, and coursages to arrive today. I went with fakes and plan on spritzing them with essential oil on the day of. Later this month, the 29th, I'll be going to shop with my gals for bridesmaids dresses and will be trying my gown on again then. It was too tight, so I hope it fits better!!!*Crosses her fingers*

    I went online to http://www.weddingstar.com/. My friend JUST opened a wedding store in my home town and got me a wicked discount on these party favors...i'm not putting flowers in them though, my plan is to make seeded paper and write on them "plant some love" I already have the Canadian Wildflowers...they're 100% organic cotton:happy:

  • I'm in! Countdown the the aisle is ON!!!!!!!!

    I'm getting married October 14, 2011. My family is being so supportive that they said if my wedding dress no longer fits me because I lost so much weight (I bought a size 18) that they would buy me a new one in my new size!!! WOOHOO!

    My goal is to lose 75lbs by July 1st which is probably the latest I could order a new dress if they can't size the one I have down. Takes about 2 months to order then they have to tailor it.... maybe even June 1st. I'm nervous!!!!!!!!!

    Iam in! I am getting Married July 9, 2011 and I have 50 more lbs to lose before then. I have already come sooooo far...these last few months have been me gaining and losing the same 3-5 lbs over and over. Very discouraging.

    So what colors are you ladies picking for your wedding?

    Mine is pink and black. :)

    I have 45 to lose so lets do this! i'm actually not picking colors, my bridesmaids just have to go "find a dress" under $100 and i'm going to have tons of wild flowers...it's an outdoor venue and an indoor reception so i don't want specific colors, just summer ones lol

    For those of us getting married tomorrow, congratulations, and of course you can join us! Maybe you can give us not only fitness advice, but also wedding planning advice!*LOL*

    My wedding colors are mocha and violet. Everyone always says they're a weird combination, but if you look at my weight loss ticker, you'll see the paisley patttern that is the inspiration for the entire wedding!!!:-D

    those are great colors!!! i was contemplating it for mine but decided with peach and teal instead...i thought it was more springy and havent seen it really before. i just got a crotcheted hat and mary jane slippers done in mocha and violet though for my daughter lol. not the same thing, but the colors are great!!
