    Wanting to look good in my dress is only second to wanting to look good in my bikini on the honeymoon! "Diet makes you look good in clothes, exercise makes you look good naked!"

    Hey There,

    Start weight - 251
    Current weight - 257
    Goal weight - 155
    Wedding 15th September 2012
    First dress fitting August 2012

    My main reason for wanting to lose the weight is to become a mum. My Fiancée and I weren't lucky in the reproductive department so we are starting IVF but doctors say they cant start proceeding till I get to my goal weight. and secondly my wedding.

    So as you can see I'm having trouble with my weight.I do cardio for 30-40 mins every day and I'm currently on the 3-2-1 slim fast plan. Following it to the last rule but at the moment I'm GAINING weight every day with 1-3 LBS gain.

    I feel crap about myself on a daily basis but refuse to lose the battle.

    Hi all :smile:

    Starting weight: 261
    Current weight: 234
    Goal:180 by the wedding

    The big day will be in September and dress shopping begins this month!

    My main motivation is to be able to live a long, happy life with my fiancee. I want to inspire him to get into better shape and I want to be a good role model to my future kids so that they don't have to deal with the weight problems that I've had to deal with.

    Start weight : 232
    Currect weight : 211.4
    Goal weight : 170
    Wedding : January 14, 2012
    First Dress fitting : Done and dusted, i pick up my dress on January 11! It's been taken in 20cm since arriving. The measurements sent away were perfect at the time of ordering, so i'm WAY stoked about that!

    My main reason for losing weight is my health. I have family history of diabetes and heart disease and cholesterol problems, so i would really like to not be inviting them in through bad health.
    I also suffer with mental health issues, and i've found that my mental health is negatively affected by being overweight.

    At this point in time we're just waiting on the last three RSVPs, and choosing our pizzas for the reception.

    We're having an 11am wedding in the middle of an Australian summer in a Winery garden.
    A mobile wood-oven pizza place is doing our catering, and our cake is a cupcake tower.

    I'm so flipping excited!!!

    Currect weight : 243
    Goal weight : 180
    Wedding : we aren't technically engaged yet, but it's really only a matter of buying the engagement ring
    First Dress fitting : long ways out

    I have found my dress, it's actually got a Renaissance feel to it.

    As for why I want to lose weight, I want to do so for health reasons as diabetes runs in my family, and I also want to look and feel better...and who doesn't want to look good on their wedding day? Its a few years off most likely, but I do want to have a nice thin body for my man when we get married!

    Wedding Date: June 2, 2012

    I just ordered my dress. I wasn't happy with the size I ordered but it would be an easy dress to take in.

    As you can see, I am struggling with my weight loss. I was out of town this past weekend which is why there is a gain. I have less than 6 months to this wedding so I need to get the weight off fast!

    Had the first dress fitting already :)!! Not sure when the next will be, I need some alterations in the length (and hopefully some more once I take it to be altered!).

    I not only want to lose weight. I want to be healthy. I was not raised healthy and I do not want that for my future children. I do not want them to go through what I have (yo-yo dieting, up and down in weight... low self esteem, etc.). This isn't just for the wedding, its for my lifestyle! :)

    While I want to be lighter at my August wedding, my motivation is health related. I am having all sorts of health problems that could be fixed by losing weight.

    I just want to feel good about my body. I got so frusterated while looking at wedding dresses...not everyone is a size 2.

    I tried to post a picture of me in my dress, but it will no upload. Any ideas?

    I have most of the big things accomplished already (dress, venue, caterer, florist, etc. )

    I have my dress (it's Vera Wang!!!) and was horrified by the size I ordered! My dress will be ready for my first fitting in May, and I want to look great in it and hopefully have it taken in several inches. :smile:
    It's tough to balance work, wedding planning, and life! Feel free to add me as a friend- I love to give encouragement, and definitely need some myselfM

    My mom is a seamstress, so we are designing and making my dress (sketch to come soon!). I am her only daughter though, so we thought it might be fun to do the whole trying-on-dresses thing. So on Jan 17th, my mom, fiance, brother, and sis-in-law are headed to a super swanky (waaaaay out of my price range) salon to try on dresses. It might be fun? Maybe? Not sure? Definitely going to need some Spanxx! Sample sizes are ridiculous!

    Current weight: 150 lbs
    Goal weight: 130 lbs
    Wedding Date: April 28th, 2012
    1st dress fitting: Mid-end of February

    Have not lost anything weight yet since I just started on Sunday, but have been really good since. I started using a hula hoop this morning (called magic hula) and I LOVE it! I am not the one who likes to exerciser but I think I can actually enjoy it this time. I am also doing wii zumba and wii activity 2, love both as well.

    I tried loosing weight before but the weekend kill me. This time around my fiance is also trying to loose 20 lbs, so doing it together is a real motivator!! Hope we can both do it!

    How is everyone else loosing weight? Just dieting?
