Hey all you soon-to-be Bridesmaids! What are your goals for this week?

For me - I'm going to trick my kids and myself into exercising at least 5X this week for at least 30 minutes. Today we played 'static tag' - basically we just shuffled around the family room in our sock feet as fast as we could and shocked each other - LOL

Weight wise, I would like to be down to 213

Weekly Challenge - How many flights of stairs can you walk this week?

    I'm a bridesmaid in THREE weddings this year! I plan on being active almost everyday in some way. Zumba is a MUST - taking class at least 4 days a week! The first wedding is the end of August so there's time!

    Hi girls! I found the thread... I'm bridesmaid for a close friend's wedding on March 26 and I'd like to lose 10-15lbs by then. My challenge this week is to drink 8 glasses of water a day and to lose 2 lbs...

    Also to get at least 7 hours of sleep each night... :)

    thunt - it looks like we have similar goals/timeline :) I feel a little silly HOPING to have to spend a pile of money altering my dress down to a smaller size - but in all honesty, I hope they have to remake the whole darn thing - LOL

    Good luck!

    Its going to be hard but we can do it! The dress not fitting is the part im most worried about. The bride said i can buy it in May and then get it altered before the wedding but im still worried it wont fit correctly haha. Did you already have to buy the dress?

    I had to be measured before Christmas! It is a $240 dress, luckily, the bride is paying half for us (they are paying for tuxes, and the flower-girl dresses, too - luckily, since my hubby and all 3 girls are in it - it would have been a spendy weekend!)

    Wow that is crazy expensive! I hope ours arent that much. Thats nice the bride is paying part of it though. Sounds like a fun time since you all are going to be in it. I feel like all i talk about is the wedding lately haha

    Luckily I don't have to buy the dress until closer to the date and she said all of us women in the bridal party can choose together and get something off the rack... lol! Yay... hopefully the other girls don't go for anything too expensive...

    I did however buy a dress already for the hens night! And I hope to be so thin that I have to take it in everywhere! Lol...
