in Motivation and Support
I'd love to find others that are getting to skin down and tone up. Having a goal in sight always helps me keep perspective.

I used to with 250 lbs and have maintained around 155 lbs for ther last 5 years. I really want to lose my last 25-30 lbs and I'm getting married ON THE BEACH in September! Time to kick it into gear!

    Me! Getting married in June. I recently bought my dress and although I love it I did NOT love how I looked in the pictures at the boutique. I really want to lose 20 lbs before the wedding and get my dress taken in a couple of sizes. Of course I want to get healthy as well and keep losing after the wedding but my short term goal is to be happy with the photos and feel and look my best that day. My fiancé is super supportive but he's not necessarily looking to lose any weight and it makes it just a bit more difficult, especially when we're eating together. On Monday I started counting calories and using MFP at 224.6 (ugh). This morning the scale said 220.8. Guessing it's water weight but it's definitely a motivator seeing that number go down. Congratulations on your initial loss and maintenance and on your upcoming wedding! Good luck!

    Good luck!!! Where are you getting married? We're heading to the Bahamas and I want to feel good in a swimsuit. It would be a first!

    My piece of advice for you, which I have to really focus on, is making sure you're drinking half your weight in water. It's so important.

    I would love to lose about 10-12 lbs by June, but also maintain for good at my goal weight.

    Stress weight is like my middle name. It's hard to have a high paced, high stress job, a family, schooling, and find time to work out. Oh yeah, and planning a wedding! *FACE PALM!*

    Thanks, yes I know water is super important. Unless I'm really thirsty I don't love water but I have been adding some fresh lemon wedges into my water bottle and that seems to have been helping. I'm getting married on June 11 here in IL in my parents' backyard, so no swimsuit :) but now that it's just 3 months away I need to kick it into high gear. I will friend request all of you ladies as well! We can do it :)

    Getting married in October and hoping to lose 30-40 lbs by then (I don't mind being heavier if it's due to muscle gain). Currently at 170lbs. Down 2 lbs this week! I'm just doing Focus T25 workouts and staying within my calories, avoiding processed sugars or carbs, bad fats, and getting more water in. Going to have to keep my nutrition dialed in since my workouts are limited by multiple injuries.

    I'd recommend a youtube channel called bikinifitnessmodel. I do their butt and ab workouts and they're AWESOME! They're anywhere from 6-15 minutes, so you can fit them into a busy schedule like mine. I have bad knees from weighing 250 lbs for most of my teenage life, and I also have a fractured foot that never wanted to heal due to the police academy. So low impact workouts are a must for me!

    Me!

    I'm getting married in October. I bought my dress last February, and blew my ACL last March. I packed on a good 15-20lbs and my dress doesn't even fit anymore!! I'm hoping to not only lose that 15-20lbs but I want to lose an additional 20-30lbs before the wedding.

    I was cleared to start my normal workouts (sans hard running) about 6 months after surgery. I'm 9 months out from surgery now, and I'm doing mostly weight lifting. I've lost 8 lbs and a full pants size since the end of January. :)

    Not for my own wedding but for bachelorettes, wedding SEASON (6 this year!!), and a month long Eurotrip with my husband. I've been as high as 128lbs and as low as 105. Half a year ago I was 107lbs for my own wedding and a few months after got up to 120 (I blame all the sweets at my office/ Thanksgiving/ Christmas). I'm back down to 114, but would like to get back to 107 before the end of the month.

    It took me ~3 weeks to go from 120 - 114. My job entails sitting at a desk but I started exercising 45min a day (barre or spinning) and am *working on* cutting out ALL sweets with the exception of fruits. I've also been reducing how much beef/ pork/ chicken I eat, and stick to salmon and veggies as often as possible.

    Good luck everyone - adding you all as friends! :)

    I was looking for a thread like this!! My wedding is on August 26. I don't have a lot to lose - right now I'm 5'4 about 116. I'd love to get down to 110 or so, but these last few pounds are not really coming off.

    CONGRATS TO ALL YOU LADIES AND YOU CAN DO IT!!!!!! I got married Oct 13th 2012 at Pajaro Dunes in California and had gone from a size 20 to a 12 in 10 months! We had to rush order a totally diff size dress and do more alterations to it. It was awesome madness! Hahaha i was doing weight watchers at the time (pre proposal actually). Then i got pregnant on our honey moon. Lol and morning sickness then after with breast feeding i gained EVERY POUND BACK plus 10. So now im starting my weight loss (throw away) journey again! First week i lost 7lbs and im excited to weigh in again on friday!

    Happy wedding season ladies :smiley:
