Bridesmaid Challenge?

Hi - I read a blog post earlier today about the dreaded 'fitting into the bridesmaid dress.' The number of replies made me think maybe we could set up a challenge group for all of the other bridesmaids out there! Any of you interested in starting something? Open to suggestions on how to set it up (how to set goals/check-in times/motivation or incentives...)

I have 50-60 lbs to lose total, wedding is in July (though my hubby is also standing up for a friend in May, so I'd like to be the hot date of a groomsmen by then- LOL)

Any bridesmaids out there want to join in?

    I'd love to lose about 10-15 lbs by March 26... yes, I too am going to be a bridesmaid! The other girls in the party are all really tiny and I don't want to stand out as the FAT bridesmaid... lol! I'm in! Is this too soon?

    I too am going to be bridesmaid. And also have 3 petite bridesmaids as well. I'd love to 20-30lbs by April 10! So that I don't stand out amongst them. I'm definitely in!

    How about we keep it simple - Every Sunday evening we can post how we have done for the week, and then weekly goals for the following week - Bridesmaid Buddy system :) Just for fun, we can have a silly, specific challenge for the week - like go up and down a flight of stairs at least 10 times this week - whoever starts the Sunday 'Bridesmaid Challenge' thread gets to pick the challenge?

    I'm in too. One wedding at the end of June as a bridesmaid, one wedding in July as a guest (but a friend from high school, so really want to look good there) and again as a bridesmaid in Sept. I'm currently doing P90X, want to loose 5 more pounds but am more focused on having good abs/mid section!!
