It's coming up very quick! I do Lite n Easy (Australia) and finally getting my *kitten* in to gear to use MFP again to properly count what goes into my body haha. I want to look back at my wedding photos and be proud!

    that is almost 1kg a week.... are you prepared to put in that much hard work for 6 months straight?
    It is going to be long and grueling...

    Congratulations on the engagement! Maybe aiming a bit high, but I hope you pull it off! I have a six month deadline as well! Started (yet again) om May 8th, to finish January 8th, my fourtieth birthday. I want to go from chubby to skinny by then. Adding Pilates for the skinny look, and that is going surprisingly well. I do a YouTube video each morning, 10 to 30 minutes, depending on how early I manage to drag myself out of bed. On my birthday, I plan on going way over my calorie limits, and then ease into maintenance. I hope I will be able to wear a bikini by the Summer of '17. The first one ever!
    Just try to avoid the wellknown pitfalls this time around: social events and alcohol for me...

    Yea well that's what I get for leaving it late haha. Even though my profile says I've lost 5kg I've lost 12kg since January and that's not taking it too seriously as I am now haha. Wow well that's certainly something to celebrate. I did one YouTube video like last year haha I was me at to keep it up... But didn't haha. Well I am definitely looking past just the wedding to give my fertility the best chance so that's definitely motivation for me as well. It's not about hoping you can achieve your goal I'm over hoping I'm just ready to get there and love it.

    It's completely doable. I started on Weight Watchers at the end of January of this year and have already lost 25 lbs. I'm close to my goal weight now so it's coming off slower but I have about 10-15 more to lose.

    Good luck to you! And congrats on the wedding.

    I'm trying to get in shape for my future TBD wedding. We haven't set a date yet, we both want to be healthy and in good shape for the wedding and the honeymoon.
    We have been engaged for a while but I have had plenty of time to plan the wedding so I can avoid stressing (I live in Australia but getting married in New Zealand) once you choose your date I find it helps motivating as you have a D-Day haha
