Hey guys...
I'm here as I'm trying to lose weight but my first goal is for my Feb 2016 wedding. I have done the thing I swore I would never do. I bought a dress that is too small. It was a dream dress that came up on a crazy sale. I bought it. The label is my size...but dresses run small. So here I am--as motivated as I'll ever be. I've got about 80 days to lose a few inches.
If all else fails there is a shop in my town that does sell off the rack so I'm not going to kill myself over this.
Anyone else have a goal coming up? Need a buddy to stay accountable? Message and add me!

    Hello there! :) I am too getting Married in March of 2016 :) Congrats to you! I am trying to get back on the bandwagon and lose this last 10 pounds but it seems to be so hard with my busy lifestyle. I will add you as a friend so maybe we can motivate one another and hold each other accountable :) GOOD LUCK!

    March 2016 wedding here, in Disney. :smile: I'm also on my last 10lbs for a total of 35lbs, but I'm in no true rush. Just started hitting the gym and weight training, so hoping to see results there. But feel free to add me. 2016 weddings are the best. ;)

    How long did it take you to lose a size? I've got a lot to lose though so I'll have to probably lose a bit before I'm a true size down.

    April 30 here!! I think all of you above definitely have time to hit your goals. I would like to lose about 35 pounds total....but I bought my dress at a perfect fit so I am scared to lose too much before the wedding. Shooting for about 15 pounds...that should be nothing that alterations can't fix. I should have lost the weight sooner but I procrastinate. I am also toning my arms and back with low weight high reps..been doing it a week and already see a difference!

    November 2016 wedding and I have 30-35 lbs to lose and definitely need a buddy. I'm 37 and it seems to move slow for me and I can't seem to leave the glass of wine a night alone. I need you ladies for motivation. Please add me and I'll do the same. I won't even start trying dresses until I get 75% to my goal.

    I live for the glass of wine at night. Work has been so hectic.

    August 2016! I ordered my dress in the correct size for the body I have- and it will look fine either way, but I really hope to be able to take it in a few sizes by the time it comes in in April. Best of luck to you all! Feel free to add me for support/encouragement, as I could use some as well :)

    I'm August 2016, started my diet end of August this year and am currently 28 pounds down. So it is definitely possible to lose 30-40 pounds in the timescales given! I've got 8 more to lose, but am more concerned about maintenance as I have a tendency to slip into bad habits!

    APRIL 2016! I am really wanting to lose about 2 stone before April but I'm not too sure how realistic this is? I am prepared to go to the gym 3-4 times a week and eat about 1200 calories a day. Any advice thanks.

    Awesome!! I'm loving all the energy here! Add away! My logging and working out has been going great. I'm down about 10 lbs! Gotta keep going though! I'm resting today though as I got hit with a cold yesterday. I hope feel better enough tomorrow to get some cardio in.
