in Motivation and Support
Hello all,
I'm getting married in May 2016 and I am currently at my heaviest. Decided it was time to get a bit more disciplined. I am looking for other people to add as friends and help keep the motivation going! Please add me!

    August 2016 here too! It's definitely been a motivator for me to be more consistent.

    Hello, my wedding is also in May 2016 and I am hoping to loose at least 10 pounds by then!
    Can't loose much more because I already bought the dress!

    August 2016 for me as well. I'm planning to loose 8-10 pounds before I dress shop in November and then tone and maintain after that.

    I've purchased my dress and my goal is to lose about 30lbs. Most dresses can be taken in up to 4 sizes, so here's hoping lol

    With only 5 weeks until my wedding, I just hit my heaviest. Needing to shed 20 pounds to get to my goal weight, but I am a really picky eater and most of the things I like are not healthy. I'm at a lack of motivation point and I'm worried I won't fit in my dress anymore.

    Don't give up! I am a picky eater too. It's all about trying things you normally wouldn't try and omitting or making substitutions as necessary. For instance, I thought I hated black beans before I found a few creative ways to make them, and now I use them in everything! Browse healthy recipes on Pinterest for inspiration. Your motivation should be this: if your lifestyle doesn't change, you might have a problem fitting into your dress, and after the wedding, you might continue to gain weight and be unhealthy. Improve the quality of your life long-term by doing something now. :smile:

    Have you checked to see if your dress still fits? With 5 weeks to go, you need to be realistic about how much you can lose. I'd be checking in with your dress maker or whoever is doing your fittings to check how the dress fits and whether it should be altered. When it's so close to the wedding, it's generally recommended that you keep your weight static so that the dress isn't falling off/not doing up on the day.

    I did. I tried it on Saturday and it is close, but doesn't fit. Realistically, losing about 5 pounds would probably do the trick. I definitely don't want to have problems on the wedding day, so we may be going back to get it altered. However, we already altered it once and had the final dress fitting.

    Yes! I look up the healthy recipes on Pinterest. I should try looking up creative ways to make things. Usually, if it has something I don't like in it I automatically rule it out.
