I agree, planning for me has been difficult as well. I'm in KY and my mom is in TX where the wedding will be. I'm also a full time doctoral student with two jobs...it is hectic.
we have photographer, hall, dress, bm dresses, favor ideas, save the dates, dj, recept. food, ceremony-done, just finished registering.
two languages would be really tough!
just getting a list from my inlaws was a huge task in itself. wedding is in 4 months so we really need to get it into gear. we are looking at 100-150 ppl0 -
Hey ladies!
1 lb lost for me this week!

My mom has had to do almost everything for me (I love my mom :bigsmile: )0 -
.6 weight gain this week. I am getting very discouraged. About ready to give up and say this is going to have to be good enough. 185

Just to clarify that is a 0.6 lb weight gain not 6 lb weight gain. Thank God!0

Hi I'm new and I want to join in. I started yesterday and want to lose 20 lbs. I am 5'6 and 194lbs and want to get down to 170 before my wedding which is May 30. I am having a hard time grasping the concept of eating all the calories I burn off at the gym. It sounds so backwards to me. But I am determined and willing to give this my best shot. We'll see!!!!0

Hey, can I join? I am already married, but I had to have a fast wedding because my house came up for sale before we thought, so our belief system told us to get married before we moved in together. I really didn't mind it, but it has been making things really crazy.
So, I have been married since 8-16-08, but the next wedding is 8-22-09. I want to be down to 160 by June (dress fitting). This next wedding will be the big ceremony. I am all excited. I don't even remember what my dress looks like.
Here are my stats:
sw-210
cw-195
gw-160
As you can see, I think I am starting to get the hang of this. One of the major things that I have started to do is really listen to my body. Don't eat if your stomach isn't telling you. Cutting back on all of the junk food and only allowing one can of pop and one chocolate a day is helping a lot too.
I also have a better scale and I was thrilled to find my new weight was less than I thought it would be. I am also going to be getting back to the gym. It has been really crazy with two children, three cats, one husband who has one full-time job, two bands, and a dj business. Plus, keeping up with the housework. Personally, I like going to the gym because that is where I go to unwind and destress. I take out all of my agrivation on my work out machines. HEE HEE.
Anyway, that is just a little bit about me.
Good luck to everyone.
BTW:
Receptional Hall: Booked
Photographer: Booked
Invitations: Still need to get
Church: Working on it
Dress: Bought
Flowers: Made
Bridesmaids Dresses: Being made
Tuxes: His job
Cake: Friend's making it
I think that is everything.

hi again! i very much wanted to join this group because i am coming right up on my wedding and don't want to lose my motivation!
i started mfp a few months ago with a start weight of 142 and goal weight of around 129. i am currently at 135 and feeling really great (although still a little "wiggely" in a few places). my biggest motivator was my one-size-too-small wedding dress (don't do it, ladies!!!) which now fits almost perfectly!
(i have to say though that right now, i am focussed less on my weight and more on the fading inches all over my body - a very cool feeling!)
i don't really "workout" - though i really want/need to. i bike to the bus stop to go to school every day (which is at least 25 minutes and sometimes up to 2 hours if i go the whole way) and racewalk from my bus stop in town another 15 minutes to school (and then do the same at the end of the day). i also bike with a group of women once a week - we just started with 33 km and will work up to 60+ km by the end of the summer. and, about 3 nights a week, i jog for at least 20 minutes with a friend.
my best advice is start now!!! there are so many other things to worry about in the weeks and months before your wedding and if you are eating healthy and treating your body right, you will be much less stressed and much, much happier in your life with your love. good luck!0 -

Still alot of work to do!0 -
I have completely fallen away this past two weeks. I've eaten out alot, gone over my calories, and not worked out. Good news is I haven't lost OR GAINED. I'm really feeling down on myself and I am thinking of cancelling my dress fitting that's scheduled in about a week.
I did okay today, EXCEPT for the TWO sausage muffin's from McD's I had. I tried to rationalize saying it was my fiances fault for brining me two, not the one I asked for but come on, I asked for it to begin with and he didn't force feed me the second one! I'm still within my calories for today (barely) and got in my first run in over two weeks.
I just have to wonder, if the motivation of an upcoming wedding and a form fitting dress aren't enough, what will be?0 -
do NOT be hard on yourself! i had some friends over last night for a wine tasting (we made our own apple wine for the wedding and i wanted some second opinions) and snacks. and so i drank. and i snacked. and then i indulged them by modeling my dress (after drinking and snacking!) and i have to say, i was feeling pretty bummed by my bloated tummy and my inability to breathe too deeply....
BUT, i woke up today and ate a good, healthy breakfast. i am drinking water like it's going out of style. i have a run with a friend planned later in the afternoon.
most of all, i know with all certainty that i don't want that bummed, bloated feeling on my wedding day. not at all.
the wedding is less than 3 weeks away and i am just going to push through and do my best. i am proud of the weight i've lost so far and any more will just be icing on the cake - but there will be no eating of icing between now and then!!!
good luck, everyone - stay focussed and remembere how lucky we all are!
