    Thanks!! 50 plus pounds but I'll be happy just a few dress sizes smaller before I go wedding dress shopping.

    First of all congratulations!!!!!

    Secondly, if you faithfully log in everything you eat and are in a calorie deficit every day, in 8 months you can easily loose At Least 30 pounds.

    It all depends on whether you are willing to put in the hard work. :)

    The good news is you have given yourself a decent amount of time to realise your goals. Lifting and cardio will help get you there plus a small reduction in your intake and I think you will be happy with the results

    good luck, take measurements and photos as you go

    Thanks I know it won't happen over night but like I said even a few dress sizes smaller before the wedding dress shopping would be great, would hate a repeat of prom dress shopping where I'm crying in the dressing room because none of the dresses fit. I want it to be a happy day! Also I have the support of my fiance, we go to the gym together and keep one another accountable so I am very lucky!

    congratulations :) i am getting married in the next 12 months, no dat set as yet, but have put on 15kgs in the last year or so, and really wanting to get rid of it before dress shopping.. same as you AmberMae23, losing just a bit before looking at dresses would be good motivation and give us a better idea how it will fit once we reach our goal :) i hate my arms normally, but now i really don't like showing them, so want to get back into my weight training and calorie counting on my fittnesspal to help.. good luck :smiley:

    Congratulations!!! Just stick to it and work hard and you will do great! I've only been doing it for about six days now but I already feel much better about myself. Everyone is so nice and helpful! I just love it.
