in Motivation and Support
Hello fellow MFP peeps,

I am a bride to be in Sept 2014, and I am looking to see if there are any other brides out there trying to get fit for their big day. Now, I will say upfront this is my SECOND wedding. I got married in 2007 and the marriage lasted 5 yrs (my ex was abusive and cheated - among other issues). All brides to be, please feel free to FR me and we can support each other. Look forward to hearing from you.

I am trying to be prepare for once it does happen I will be a few steps ahead of the game in regards to losing weight. I would like to lose 33 lbs.

    Sept 2014 wedding here also. I have about 120 pounds to lose total. Obviously not all of that is going to be gone by that time, but I'd like to be down at least 50 pounds by the wedding month. I'm also standing up in my sister's wedding at the beginning of May, so I have zero time to lose. I don't care so much about how I look in my dress, I'm just sick and tired of being sick and tired.

    Hi!! I too am a September bride!! I am trying to lose 10-15 pounds and tone up. We are honeymooning in Costa Rica and I would love to feel confident in a bikini for the first time in a long time. I joined Koko Fitclub last week. I try to go 4x a week and do 2 rounds of cardio (they are only 15 mins a piece). I log everything that I eat on here and I am just trying to eat healthier :)

    Getting married in 141 days 19 hours and 38 minutes...or July 20th. Not that I am counting or anything ;) I have already lost almost 30 lbs and would like to lose another 20 before the wedding. Not my end goal by any means but I would love to be around 155. I do already have my dress, but won't start alterations until end of May.

    April 2014! 5 weeks today. Not planning to lose a huge quantity of weight in that time, but I am gearing up for a bit of self-imposed March bootcamp. If I can lose 7 lbs I'll be very happy!

    I'm neither engaged, nor am I in a relationship, but I may one day be a bride-to-be so I'm hoping I'm already in the shape I want to be in by then :laugh:

    I've been engaged for 2 years now and we are hoping to get married next year. We were going to get married this year but I got pregnant and just had our 2nd baby 6 weeks ago. I am wanting to lose another 15-20 by the time we do get married :) good luck ladies!

    I got engaged 3 weeks ago. My plan is this fall to get married. No official date set yet though. Just trying to get figure what venue we want to have our wedding at and see what dates are available.

    However, right now I'm not sweating for my own wedding quite yet. I am maid of honor in my friend's wedding in May 2014, which is about 10 weeks away!!! I'm trying to lose 20 pounds for my friends wedding. I'm only have 15 pounds to go. Then I'll continue to work towards to losing about 10 more pounds for my own wedding.

    One thing I noticed that has helped is having a fiance who know I understands what I want to do and helps keep me motivated. :-)

Currently I am already at my goal weight but the wedding is a long term goal that I am using to keep me focused so I don't fall of track :)

    June 7 wedding for me. My dress was already a little too big when I bought it off the rack, but I really want to feel more comfortable with my upper body (waist and arms especially!) and face, so I am shooting for a total weight loss of 20-30 pounds before the wedding. With 12.4 already lost in the last 6 weeks, I'm feeling pretty optimistic that I can do it!

    May 25th, 2014 bride here! Still have some pounds to lose and looking forward to some motivation. I would love to take off another 15 pounds!

    So let's start this together! How many of you are logging your food each day?? (Every morsel you put into your mouth) When do you find that logging your food is the most challenging?

    For me, I have logged my food on an off for about 5 months now. Today I told myself from now until May 22nd, I will log ALL food (the good, the bad, and the really really bad)!! I also committed to logging my foods on weekends, which has been the biggest challenge for me!

    Time to hear from all you beautiful brides! :heart: :happy:

    I've been logging everything for 6 weeks. It doesn't feel like a chore now, it feels sort of fun and reassuring and as much of a routine as brushing my teeth. What I find difficult is when I go out to eat, and/or eat something that someone else prepared, but I try to find rough equivalents in the database and keep the dining out to a minimum. Overall, it's really been worth it for keeping me in check. I've definitely had some "off" days (yesterday was way too tempting with yummy food and drinks at work), but MFP makes it feel so easy to bounce back from slip-ups. Something about the fresh blank new screen each morning, very encouraging!

    (I plan on keeping this up after I get married, but probably not on the honeymoon where I'll be faced with 9 different restaurants!)
