I've nearly reached my goal and I'd mostly just like to tone up a bit, especially my arms. I've been focusing on my eating and paying attention to how much I eat. My main problem was eating because something sounded good or eating until something was gone but now I pay attention to when I'm actually hungry and when I'm full. I got a FitBit a few months back and it's definitely making me move more and I'm also trying to work yoga back into my routine.

Thanks for starting the group! I could use some fellow bride motivation!

I just want to tone up a bit and lose probably 5-10 lbs over the next year.

I don't have a specific goal in terms of numbers, but I really need to tone up my arms. I know spot reducing is impossible, so I'm mostly concentrating on reducing my overall body fat.
5'9, 145 pounds the last time I weighed but I no longer have a scale.
I'm doing T25, on the Beta round right now. When I did have a scale, I was only gaining weight, but my waist is down 4-5 inches so I'm okay with that.
I have a huge issue with counting calories. I'm so guilty of eating "just a bite!" here or there then forgetting to log or being to lazy to log. It's so hard to log everything in the beginning! I also frequently cook for myself and don't ever measure ingredients, which makes it even more frustrating to try to determine calories for meals. I just need to quit being so lazy and start recording everything I eat, but does anyone have any tips for this? Do you really measure out how much oil you use to grease the pan?

I'd like to lose between 30 and 40 pounds by September (so much work, I know!) and then really just tone up and try and maintain until my wedding in March. I lost that amount of weight in a similar time frame before I met FH, so I know it's possible, I just have to stick with it and work hard!

I'd like to lose probably 25-30 lbs by my wedding in January. Actually, I'd like to lose as much as possible by the end of October and then kind of maintain. I joined Weight Watchers after getting engaged in the fall and lost about 15 pounds, then plateaued. I have a hard time motivating myself, so I'm hoping this will help and you guys can help hold me accountable!

I'm not losing weight specifically for my wedding as it's still 2 years away (don't even have the date firmed yet). But I do have to get down to around 140lb to fit into the wedding dress that my two married sisters wore. Long term I do intend to get back down to my high school weight of 125, which means all said and done I have to lose 82 pounds. I've lost 11 pounds in the last 44 days and I'm hoping to keep up that rate of weight loss for at least 2 more months though I know it'll slow down.

I've been focusing mainly on getting more active (I'm a very sedentary person, love to read and talk over tea but don't like any sports at all) so I'm walking to and from work every day (total of 7km) and I'm aiming to do waterfit 3 times a week, generally hit at least twice. I'm also keeping track of what I eat, but not restricting too much as that has led me to fail in previous weight loss attempts. I'm tracking mostly just to see what I'm taking in and make sure I'm getting enough protein and vitamins in my diet as I've always struggled to get that. Once my weight loss starts to stall I'll likely start working with a personal trainer to do strength training. My weight loss goal for this year is 35 pounds down. I think I can achieve that and more, I'm very determined this time around and I have so much support from my partner and my family.

Plus, now I have you guys to help keep me accountable.

I'm getting married in July 2015. I'd like to be smaller by the time I order my dress in October. I'm looking for steady, healthy, sustainable loss. I signed up to MFP years ago but didn't really give it a chance. I'm a Weddit lurker, and thought this sounded like a great idea so here I am giving it a try.

I want to get back down to 125, but I'm more focused on losing the inches I gained over the winter, and getting my arms and abs toned back up. Right now I'm focusing on logging all my food and getting some activity every day, with calorie counting coming after that. Once I'm fully in the habit of logging my intake, I'll shift my focus to being more on what I'm eating.

I also frequently cook for myself and don't ever measure ingredients, which makes it even more frustrating to try to determine calories for meals. I just need to quit being so lazy and start recording everything I eat, but does anyone have any tips for this? Do you really measure out how much oil you use to grease the pan?

I find it helpful to know what a measurement looks like, and how to eye ball it. A cup of something is about the size of a loose fist, a tablespoon is my thumb, stuff like that. That way, even though it's not exact, it's close enough that I feel confident with it.

I honestly just want to look good in my dress. It fits, so that's a start. I am hoping to get down to 130 (weighed in at 136 today... wooo!) and I've lost 10 pounds since November (~5 since I signed up for MFP in late March/early April).

My ultimate goal is to lose about 45 pounds, but I'd be thrilled if I could lose 15-20 before my wedding in September. I hate cardio but I've been adding it in to my strength routine to help burn some fat. I've also been working a lot on my shoulders because I want them to look ripped in my wedding dress, heh.
