Operation Wedding!

I got Engaged in February to my boyfriend of 5 years! Were getting married in October and although I been starting a healthier lifestyle over the last month or so I am very serious about weight loss before the wedding! I'm so very excited to change my life and gain friends and healthy habits along the way. I've been here before and been successful just haven't kept on top of it and I want some motivational friends to share the journey with. Two weeks down along with 10 pounds I don't ever wanna see again!

Sooo with that said add away looking forward to new friends :D

    Hi! Congrats on the engagement! I am getting married in October too :). I have been on here for a little over a year and seem to have hit a plateau which is very frustrating! The mission has kicked into high gear though the closer we get to October, and I am always open to new friends so feel free to add me!

    Oh that is so random. I got engaged in February and is getting married this October too. I'm currently working on slimming down for my friends wedding in May. Then I'll be working to lose some more after that for my own. :-)

    Congrats on losing 10 lbs so far. Keep up the good work.

    Yay for weddings!!! Although I'm not getting married yet myself (Been with my boyfriend for a year at the end of this month. I'm convinced he's the one, but I know it'll be a while before a proposal happens), I do have my first ever wedding that I'll be a bridesmaid in on May 17! I am the shortest & chubbiest of all the bridesmaids, and I want to be as confident as possible for the day and pictures! I started beginning of February at 158, and currently at 155. I would LOVE to be at 130 by May, but thinking that may be a bit of a fantasy... So just to lose as much fat and get toned-up as much as possible by May! Maybe be in a bikini for summer (I live in walking distance to a beach!).

    Congratulations to all of you! Hopefully I'll be there this time next year... A girl can only hope!

    Hi, I'm new to the board. I'm finally setting a date with my partner- been together 10 years! ( I'm 27) I really don't want to be a fat bride :( I'm hoping to shed about 80lbs ( 4-5 stone ) before Christmas. I've already lost 4lbs since Thursday. My friend has asked me to be her bridesmaid next year too :/ I find dieting and exercising easy, keeping it off is the hardest part for me!

    I've been with my fiancé for 5 yrs too and we've been engaged for 3 yrs and have no clue when we'll finally tie the knot (both very busy-it will be like the 7 or 8 yr engagement. Lol) but I do try to stay healthy for myself and one day that wedding!! Sending you a friend request and a big congratulations to you and your fiancé :)

    Congratulations! I'm not engaged, but the other night I was talking to the partner I now live with and we definitely foresee ending up together, we're just a little young :)

    This is inspiring me/motivating me to get serious! I only want to lose about 20lbs and if I start now I can be confident that if/when that special day ever comes I'll feel beautiful in my dress just like I deserve to, and you do too!

    Maybe get a picture of a gorgeous wedding dress and pin it on a bathroom mirror for motivation on tough days (because there willllll be tough days :) )

    Good luck! xxxx
