    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!

    I'm shedding for a September wedding too... in Hawaii!! Congrats to you! Let's be friends! :smiley:

    I am! My wedding is June 3rd and I started exercising in January and have lost 13 pounds so far. My lowest weight ever was 173 at 5'10" and I was so happy at that weight.. However, after being on 2 medications, being an antidepressant and birth control, I rapidly gained 60 pounds in 9 months. My ideal goal is to get back to the 170's, but I'm doing little goals like 20 pounds at a time to seem less intimidating than saying I want to lose 60 pounds! I'm trying to stay motivated but it is hard because I only lost 1 pound in the last 2 weeks, so I get discouraged! Hope to hear some good stories from you guys to keep up the motivation!

    Hi everyone! I'm so grateful this thread exists; I figured some people out there must be feeling like me! I'm getting married June 11th; I bought my dress last summer because I fell in love with it, but instead of losing weight I gained weight! So while it fit when I bought it, I'm now too big for it. It's definitely the result of stress eating, so I'm hoping using MFP to track what I put in my mouth will help me lose that 15 lbs I put on! I also got a Fitbit, so I'm hoping that will help motivate me to keep moving throughout the day. What keeps you ladies motivated each day? The wedding is a good end goal but I feel like I need something on a daily basis to force me to make good choices and break all the bad habits I've gone back to this year.

    I loved reading all your posts! ♡♡♡ yay for love and weddings!

    Here are some things that help me:
    1. MEAL PREP!!!! I hate doing it, but it's a must.

    2. Setting small goals to male the journey seem more obtainable.

    3. Learn that the scale is your friend, but it's kind of a two faced *kitten*. Understand your weight fluctuates because of water, hormones, stress, etc.

    Some things that are pissing me off!
    1. My fiance is already in great shape and his first week back to the gym from a surgery, he's lost 3 lbs and gained 1.9 lbs of muscle. This week I've gained 1.5 lbs and my period is veiling up next week.

    2. Sometimes staring at myself naked makes this whole process feel overwhelming.

    3. My work schedule works against me. I'm a police officer and between the high stress calls, constant adrenaline dumps, and graveyard schedule, it's hard to have a healthy lifestyle.

    Sweating before the wedding! I am trying to lose 15lbs before the wedding. I'm in decent shape so these 15lbs are HARD to let go! I need to cut out the wine and go hard on my nutrition.

    I'm getting married June 8th and would absolutely love to lose 10 more pounds by then. I'm lifting right now and I seem to just be losing and gaining back the same 3 pounds. So frustrating!! We can do it!!

    OH MAN. I cut out wine the first of February. The first couple of weeks it was really hard! I definitely appreciated my glass or two of wine with dinner. But, I notice I have a lot more motivation to work out now that I've cut out alcohol for the next few months.

    Getting married in October and I'd love more friends on here and on fitbit! I have about 40 lbs to lose, and I'm picking out my dress next week so it will be ready in time. Not too excited, honestly. I could use some support, and will happily return the favor to my fellow future brides and grooms!

    PM me for fitbit exchange!

    I'm not getting married or anything but I keep my diary open and I have been logging for years. Not necessarily every single day, but most days. Feel free to add me if you want some company on your journey.

    I'm getting married Nov 5! My goal is to lose 35 more pounds in the next 6 months. I just started a Pure Barre class to get me motivated to work out again, and plan on adding running and weight lifting to that. My biggest struggle is nutrition, as I am a big stress eater! And things are only getting more stressful as I count down the days!

    not losing for my wedding but for my sisters! I do not want to be the only beached whale in the pictures - she is very healthy and her friends are all tiny. I know I will be at least a head and shoulders height above them, but I'd rather not be equally as wide.

    She gets married this September - giving it my all!

    Congratulations everyone btw!!!!
