I'm getting married in September 2015 and am looking to lose 14 pounds. Ideally, I'd like to shed most of that weight before March when I plan to start shopping for my wedding dress.

HW-162 (when I started using MFP two months ago)
CW-149 (I'm proud of the 13 pounds I have already shed!)
GW-135 (I might decide to go down to 130...I'm not sure yet)

I'm 5'6'' and a half.

Anybody else trying to get in shape for their wedding? Would love some buddies!

    That's nearly 2 lbs/month, and you're going to see a slowdown as you approach your goal weight.

    I would never say you can't do it, but that is a lofty goal! As a heads up - you may be looking at a lot of high intensity cardio, especially towards the end of your 8 months!

    Best of luck!

    Me! I'm getting married 5/30/15 and hoping to lose about 15-20 lbs by then! Would like most of that to come off in the next two months so that my dress fittings aren't all screwed up. :-) Good luck with your goals! We can do it! Here's to beautiful brides!
