    I am. I've gained a boatload through the planning process. It's time to get serious. I'm a bit terrified that my dress won't fit!

    When is your wedding?

    Hi all! I'm also trying to get in shape for my wedding in June 2015. Only 7 more months left...and holidays are coming up :(

    I think the sheath/mermaid wedding dresses are gorgeous so I definitely need some motivation to get the body for those type of dresses!

    Hello ladies! My wedding is in March 2015 too and I'm trying to not stress eating the whole house at this point in the planning process :blush: Would love some friends in the same boat to help motivate each other. Feel free to add me!

    Hi guys, we don't have a date yet, but probably September 2015. Looks like I have a lot more time than most of you. Lol, we are slackers - we've already been engaged a year and haven't planned a thing!

    Anyway, I'm in it for the wedding and also for the long haul so feel free to add me!

    I am with you ladies! We had initially planned April 2015 but finances are pushing us back. I need all the motivation, pushing, guilting, water reminders and kicks off the couch you ladies can throw my way =)

    Awesome! Our wedding is in February.

    We can do this. :)

    Do you guys have your dresses yet? I start my alterations in November/December! It's coming up so fast, I have no idea where the time went.

    Ah isn't this so exciting?? Another March 2015 bride! My motivation to get in shape really picked up after ordering my dress in February. The girl helping me told me to order a 12. I asked her to order an 8 and she freaked out on me. She started yelling in the store that I would never lose that much weight and I am wasting my money. Flash forward 6 months and 20lbs later and the size 8 dress is too big :)

    Super excited for alterations to being in January. Just looking to lose those last few lbs and tone up. Feel free to add me! We could definitely use some motivation.

    Getting married in August. Feel free to add me ladies!

    I need to lose between 40-50 pounds to fit into my wedding dress. Long story short, I lost 80 pounds, got my wedding dress, then gained said 40-50 pounds. Now, I'm losing it again =]

    We're planning on a fall 2015 but if the stress level keeps climbing (read: family), we're going to do an immediate family only elopement style wedding in March.

    Needless to say, I can't plan on having a year.... I gotta be ready for March just in case! Friends, motivators, and reminders are more than welcome :-)

    Heya guys, I have a bit more time than most of you! I only recently got engaged (a week or so ago!) and we are planning on getting married late summer or early autumn (fall for the Americans :smile: ) 2016.

    I'm aiming to lose 60lbs over about the next year so I'm at my goal weight when it comes to wedding dress shopping!

    Hi ladies,
    I am getting married end of May 2015. Need to lose 3 stone, I went dress shopping the other day and found a fabulous dress so now I am super motivated. Let's do it girls, lots of support all round. How much are people hoping to lose? Well done Casey, do you have any pics of your achievements to spur us all on?

    Just had a thought and wondered if there would be any interest in making a group to support us brides to be in our weight loss goals? And somewhere to just chat/rant about wedding planning!

    Also if people were interested there could be the option of running weight loss challenges like lose so many pounds over whatever space of time or exercise challenges.

    Getting married May 2015, just over 6 months away!! Been engaged for almost 11 months now, got my dress really quickly afterwards and got most of the big plans out of the way... I don't have a whole lot of weight to lose, but I definitely don't have the body I wish I did...since getting engaged I've also gained back about 5-10 lbs.. doesn't sound like a lot, but I can notice it, and even before gaining this I wanted to lose more! so I'm hoping to shed some of that fat and tone up! Time to get serious... and it will definitely be a struggle with the holiday season coming up... I have a little more incentive though because I'm also going to be standing in 2 weddings in the summer and next autumn! Good luck to everyone out there, feel free to add me! We can do this...no matter what, we will all fit into our dresses and will look beautiful for our big day :D

    We are getting married in September of 2015! I have already knocked off 20 pounds and am hoping to lose at least 40 more before the wedding. It is definitely not easy, but so worth it! Let's do this!!

    We haven't picked a date for the wedding yet, but I started working out before he proposed. I definitely want to lose weight before that day.

    I am engaged but we don't have a set date, but we are also eloping! So thankfully I don't feel a ton of pressure to lose weight by a certain time. Like another poster said, I'm not losing weight solely for the wedding (seeing as I've been on this site for years, lol) but would love to reach my goal weight for whenever our date is :)

    Hi everyone! We're set for May 2015. I started Weight Watchers last December just before we got engaged and I was down 15 lbs. I lost my umph and have put back on about 5 lbs. I quit Weight Watchers and have decided to give MFP another shot. Feel free to add me! I'm excited to get back at it!
