Hi Bees,

I'm getting married on March 21st 2014 and am looking for friends on MFP! I'm aiming to lose about 25lbs between now and then. I'm a slow loser but have 40 weeks do do it so have high hopes.

Wedding: Friday March 21st

Height: 179cm (5'9 ft)

Current: 160

Goal 1: 150

Goal 2: 135

40 weeks to lose 25 pounds seems possible, even for me!

  • YAY! i'm sure you can lose 25lbs in 40 weeks. i'm sure you'll start feeling even better just after you hit your first goal. :)

    my wedding date is June 14, 2014! so about a year away now.

    started getting serious about 2 months ago now...
    height: 5'6(and a half!)
    starting weight when i began MFP: 152
    current weight: 136!
    goal weight: 125 (but we'll see how i feel at 130)

    Awesome! I really think it's a good idea to have lots of mini goals rather than just one big goal. I might even break mine down again so there are more than two goals. Makes it easier I think :)

    Yay a 2014 board!

    Here's my info:

    Wedding: Saturday, July 12th

    Height: 5'7"

    Current: size 18-20 (I'm not going to look at weight number, I'm going to look at size)

    Goal 2: a loose size 14

    Ultimate Goal: size 10-12 (even though I ordered my dress in a street size 18)

    Hi everyone! We're getting married February 1, 2014, but my goal weight is an eventual goal, not necessarily a "by the wedding" goal.

    Height: 5'3.5"
    Weight when I started MFP on April 1, 2013: 211
    Current weight: 193
    Goal weight #1: 150
    Goal weight #2: 135

    I'm planning on starting alterations in October. I ordered my dress in a 16W. I didn't even realize it was a plus size dress...I just loved it. I've already lost inches off of my waist (not sure how much since I didn't measure when I started). I love MFP since I never have to feel hungry!

    I'm in too!
    I already ordered my dresses. One for the wedding and one for the reception.
    I am a dress size 20-22 and ordered my dress in an 18 with the hopes of being able to zip it all the way up when I get it around the end of November. Hopefully I will be able to lose enough to have it taken in more. :)

    I'm getting married on August 16th 2014. When the time comes to walk down the aisle I hope to be 50 lbs lighter.

    My starting weight is 216.9
    My first goal is 200
    Second goal is 180
    and my third for the wedding is 170. (hey if I can make it to below 170 even better!)

    I don't intend to stop there though. My ultimate goal is 125 or so. I just want to fit back into my size 7 junior jeans. :)

    Hi bees!
    My wedding date : July 25
    My current weight : 143
    My goal: 125 to start

    I have tried this before and it really worked until 1 day I gave up and stopped it all. I'm looking for friends to motivate me! Please add :)

    I'm about two months late to this party.. but I'm excited to find a Wedding Bee board! I need more bride friends, so if anyone sees this please add me! :)

    My wedding date is July 19 and I haven't even looked at dresses yet. We're hopefully going to look in mid-December, so I want to try to lose 10 lbs or 2% body fat by the time I try on dresses! My long-term goal is 25 lbs or more and/or 8% body fat. I'm at 160 lbs and 29% body fat right now.

    Hi Bees!

    I think I already have some of you as friends but please add me!

    I'm 5'4 and currently 155lbs
    I'd like to be 135lbs for the wedding
    May 17, 2014

    I call myself a bottom heavy hourglass. I'm not really a pear, but I have too much hip to really be an hourglass. No matter what weight I've been my proportions have remained pretty much the same.

    I got married in 2012, but I'm looking for friends and motivation as well. :) I will be more than happy to do the same. :) Add me if you would like! :) Congrats ladies!!
  • I'm literally just starting to lose a teensy bit of weight for my June 7 wedding since the seamstress already let me dress out all the way. :angry:

    Wedding: June 7, 2014

    Height: 5' 7"

    Current Weight: 150lbs

    Goal Weight: 130-135lbs

    I've never tried to lose weight before so I'm glad to have the motivation! I know I can't lose that much before June but I just want to shed a bit before the wedding and the weight listed above is my goal for the future. :)

    Ahh alterations are what I'm most nervous about!! You've got enough time before June to make a little bit of a change - in my experience, it goes quickly at first and then plateaus a little if you're making major diet/exercise changes.

    Feel free to friend me if you want!
  • Hi everyone! I just found this group exists and my wedding is on May 3, 2014! I def need some inspiration to keep myself accountable now that I'm almost in the home stretch! I've been good about losing 25 lbs over the 2 yr engagement and i would like to lose just 5-8 more lbs if possible. Add me as a friend - I'm always looking for support :)

    STARTED: 150 lbs (5'3")
    CURRENT: 128
    GOAL: 121-125
