Anyone else trying to shred weight for their big day? Mine is 5 months from yesterday which means my first fitting for the dress is in 3 months! Eeek! definately starting to feel the pressure in the worst season to diet of the year. Thanksgiving/Christmas are not helping. Especially when you come from a family that loves food! Any other brides out there struggling during this season and starting to feel the burn?

    yes, Im getting married in Oct. I feel like I am way behind since I had a plan of what I wanted to lose by when. It hasnt happened for me so far. I guess I will have to try harder and push deeper to get to my target. I know we can do it, we just have to stay motivated and look at our goal.

    I'm not getting married until next year (May 2013). But I feel like I need to in shape well in advance... I've always been that one-step-ahead, overachiever kind of girl. :blushing:

    I'm a Sept. '12 girl. I was hit by a car in Sept. of this year. So I've gained about 15 pounds back that I had lost. I have to be down 40 by then..

    Yep! I'm getting married January 2013. I'm lucky in that I have an entire year to workout and try to lose weight, and still have about 6 months before I'm going to start looking for dresses. I'm hoping to have lost at least 50 pounds by then.

    Wedding in April of 2012!!

    I agree with abbie017 on the arms!! It is my stomach & arms. I had a top belly and bottom belly when wearing pants...I never had that before. I noticed my belly is slimming down! I have only lost 6lbs when I started MFP 40+ days ago. I feel like I lost more but the scale doesn't lie. I shoot for 1700 calories a day, but tend to go over sometimes. I try to go to the gym 5x a week. My clothes are feeling a little looser...but nothing extreme.

    CONGRATS to all the future brides!!

    I'm getting married June 22nd 2013. Seems so long away, but at least that gives me plenty of time to lose weight :)
    I'm looking to get down to around 175lb(12.5st) for my wedding, any lower is an added bonus! I'm currently 227lb, so thats another 52lb to lose in 563 days (not that i'm counting lol). I'm really struggling at the minute, but i'm determined to look amazing in my dress :)

    Good luck to all you other brides to be :)
