Hello all!
So my Wedding is in 144 days and I need to lose at LEAST 50 more lbs by May 19th! So I am looking for a group of people that are looking to lose as much or more! Now The subject states 2012 brides but really anyone that wants to join or has a challenge already in the works, I'm down. My dress came in on Christmas eve (Merry Christmas to me!!! lol), I ordered it in a size smaller and WANT to have to get it altered 2 sizes smaller or have to send back for the smaller size! I figured with 5 (4 1/2) months to go looking at 10 lbs a mth isn't a bad goal to shoot for! I have mini goals set in place for me but I can always use more support and I am a very competive person so I like challeges!!! If you have a challenge aready or want to start one with me, please let me know!
In the past I have just done a amt loss each week, I wouldn't mind doing a amt of cal's burned or miles, I just need support and motivation! I've never started one so I'm not sure how so if anyone would like to take the reigns I will pass it over to you, Just need to get started!

Im getting married dec 2012...and would love to fit a size 12 dress.At current with the size i am just now i think it will more than likely be a size 16-18 that i will have to get.So last week i just started the ea sports active 2 9 week programme on the wii.I haven't noticed any weight loss (as of yet) but saying that,i did only start it last week so i will need to give it time to work.The work outs are fab and they deffinetly let me work up a sweat so here's hoping (fingers crossed..lol).0

I'm IN!!!!!!
Our date is 21st July 2012 and I would like to be significantly smaller by then :-)
Have not got my dress yet actually going to try on in the shop on the 7th Jan and to try and get an idea for what will suit me :-)0 -
Me too. I'm getting married 30/6/12.
I'v hurt my back at the moment (herniated disc) but am still eating the right amount of calories and can't wait to get back to some exercise!
Can we start a proper group?0 -
I'm in also!
We're getting married September 1, 2012
My wedding dress is a size 18, but can be sized down two sizes smaller. I weigh in at 241 right now and I'd like to weigh in at 200 by the time of the wedding! Let's get this going

My wedding is in 2013, but I am hoping to be done my weight loss in June of 2012. I am in... There is also a Brides to be group, if any of you want in there.0

I just made a 2012 group - http://www.myfitnesspal.com/groups/home/1564-2012-brides0

I'm in, so how do we do this?
I'm currently at 220 (coming from 243) and I'd like to have lost atleast 60 lbs, preferably 80, by July 25th.. I want to tie the knot in Vegas, but I'm not booking any tickets until I get to 175 to prove that I'm dedicated....
I think doing a challenge with tracking miles or calories burned would be great, because I always try to challenge myself & beat my previous record.0 -

Okay, so totally doable if you really push yourself....
HOWEVER... I wanted to give a little personal insight and play devil's advocate.... I just got married in October, so I thought I'd provide perspective.
Getting married is CRAZY hectic and stressful. Try and focus on overall health and fitness and NOT a number. If you focus on a specific number, you will likely be even more stressed out and may end up disappointed if you do not meet your goal. I would suggest that you shoot for losing 25 pounds in 5 months. That will probably be more realistic, and if you lose more, you will be pleasantly surprised!!!
Good luck! My birthday is May 18th and I am shooting to lose around 30 pounds. It's going to take a lot of work, but I know we will both be successful!0 -

Thanks dear! I am going to push myself as hard as poss!!! Big trouble spots are my arms and I agree on the Healthy part of it, I so far have lost a total of 25 lbs since June and then with the help of MFP lost 15 of those lbs. I'm eating right (with the exception of christmas eve and day) I do my best and if I do cheat I log it, I log everything so I hold myself accountable for those cal's ! Congrats on your wedding! please feel free to add me, could use a friend to keep me in check! lol0 -

I am getting married on May 26th 2012. I set a goal in october to lose 50lbs by the wedding. I went from 327lbs to 307lbs! I still have a long way but I made it through 3 Thanksgivings, 3 birthday parties, and 2 christmas's and still managed to lose it so I think I can do it! My dress wont come till March and I am hoping that they have to do MAJOR alterations.

I would love to tag along. I was suppose to get married last year but my Boyfriend hurt his knee and required extensive repair so of course a wedding was the last of our worries. So were planning for 12/12/12 which is his 30 bday and our 10 year anniversary. I reached my goal last year and the last few months gained back 18pounds. I would love to get down to a size 9.
Starting weight: 199
Goal weight: 160 or size 9 dress
Height: 6ft.0 -
