    Funny I posted a thread with almost the same title earlier today! I am also looking for friends who want to help each other stay motivated for the wedding, or whatever else their goals are.

    I want to thin out in the middle and shrink/tone my arms. AKA I need to lose weight and exercise :P I have added an arm routine into my usual cardio workouts to help get the toning started at least!

    Hey! Bride-to-be here and I'm also losing weight in time for the wedding but more importantly in time to start trying on dresses this Spring. At first this started out as a weight loss for the wedding, but I realize I should have done this soooo long ago!

    Anyhow my wedding is in 2016 and I have 20-30lbs to go. Feel free to add me and we can motivate each other! That goes for all you bride-to-be's that may be reading this, I love having friends with similar goals.

    We're gonna look awesome in our wedding dresses! :#

    I'M IN!! My wedding is next October. My wonderful fiancée got a friend of ours to take photos while he proposed. I had the opportunity to see them today, not even gunna lie, I bawled my face off! How could I let myself get like this? I have a year, to look the way I want because I don't want to look like this again!

    Me too! I'm getting married in eight months. I have no specific number goals. I just want to keep lifting, improving my body composition, and feeling good about what my body can do.

    Here is a better idea, how about instead of Shreadding for the Wedding, you do some shredding for YOU!

    I certainly hope that all this effort to lose weight and get in shape is a lot more important to you than what ends up to be a 25 minute ceremony out of one day in your life.

    Hey girls, you have ages to go! Im getting married in 11 weeks so the major wedding/ honeymoon shred is on! I told myself I would start at 6 months, then 5, then 4 and now I finally hope to get my act together! Im finding it hard though, I can be strict for 2/3 weeks and then something takes over and I eat everything in sight!

    Good luck to you all, you have a long time to get there but its better than adding the stress closer to the time! Little steps and you will get there!! xxx

    I'm in! Of course shredding for the wedding is a short-term goal but I'm definitely wanting to maintain a healthy lifestyle in the long-term for myself and my future family. I have about fifteen pounds to go but what I'm really looking to do is tone my midsection and arms. If anyone has similar goals and is looking for motivation or a diary buddy feel free to add me!

    Hoping to finally get married in Fall 2016...it always seems like we get close to setting an official date and then something comes up and we can't make it happen. Honestly, because of my weight, I've been relieved when we've had to hold off. I'm not photogenic anyways and having fullbody pictures taken that are likely to be shared over and over again is not my idea of fun. Fall 2016 is pretty far out, but I have a lot of weight to lose.

    I bought a cheap white dress from Macy's a few months ago and hung it up on the back of my bedroom door, looking in to the living room to help remind me to get up off the couch and go exercise.

    It's not just about looking good in wedding dress, but what it represents...the fact that I have another person in my life counting on me, wanting to spend as much of my life with that person as possible, being a role model for future children, etc.

    I'm in! I'm getting married in May 2015 and I'm hoping to get back to 120, which is what I weighed before my fiance and I started dating.

    Also, I'll be honest:

    Looking good at my wedding is my main priority at this time of my life. Different goals for different people - at least I'm making steps in the right direction. Sure, I'd like to maintain in the long run, but my wedding is what matters to me right now.

    I didn't start out losing for the wedding, but am getting married in May next year, as well, and motivated as hell to reach my goal weight by then. Spending enough on pictures that I don't want to look at them for the rest of my life and think "well, I *could* have gotten there by then, but I didn't" :) Anyone feel free to add me!
