    I am going to Jamaica in May 2012 to get married & honeymoon. I need to loose about 10 pounds & tone up so I can not only look great in a wedding dress, but a bikini too! The holidays really got me off track & I gained back a few pounds. I need to REALLY REALLY get my motivation back!!!! So excited about this post - I need some bride-to-be friends to share some support & motivation with!!!!!! Add me!

    I'm getting married 12/15/12 in Charlotte, NC! Ordered my dress but was told they can cut it down to nothing if I lose weight. I'm losing as much as I can before my bridal portrait in October!

    SO excited I found this thread!!! Im getting married to the love of my life on October 6th, 2012!!!!! I def need some support because in 6 months Im purchasing my dress and absolutley NO----ifs, ands, or buts that it HAS to at least be a size 8!!! I am a size 14 now, starting ZUMBA and joined MFP should get me there along with some friends and MFP's!! :)



    ~~~~LETS DO THIS TOGETHER GIRLS!!!!~~~~ :heart:

    AGREED! I am not going dress shopping until June/July. That gives me 6 months to drop 40-50 pounds (which is right under 2 lbs/week and totally do-able) before I go. I will definitely be a 10/12 by then, and then want to lose another 30-40 before the wedding and hopefully get my dress altered down to a single digit!

    We are ordering the bridesmaid dresses this week and they're adorable - I'm having a destination wedding and not having a reception until after I return to my hometown. SO - I'm ordering the white version of their dress for me to change into for our post-wedding dinner. I'm buying my "goal weight" size as inspiration. IT WILL FIT!!!

    Yay!! I'm so glad that I found this thread :) I'm getting married 9-2-12. I already bought my dress in a size down and I've already lost ten lbs since I bought it! I'm hoping to lose another 40-45 before dress fittings! However, I'll be happy with anything less than I am now :)

    So excited for you!! We can do this :) Congrats on your wedding and Im sure you'll be beautiful. Im having a country wedding at my moms farm and wearing cowboy boots!! Def a southern Belle kinda thing :) Im a bigger boned type person so my ideal weight for myself is 165-175, I lost 42lbs of Phentermine but felt like I was a "druggie" continuously taking a pill knowing is wasnt healthy. So exercise and devotion begins my journey now!!!

    Congrats girls! Im so excited for all of you! I joined this site to lose weight for my wedding. I did it and we were married October 7th, 2011. Unfortunately, I didnt 'shred' it cause it's back but will be gone for good soon enough. Good luck ladies!

    Getting married 30th June :) Need to lose at least 10lb for, um the 4th time. Planning to buy a dress online in about a month. If it needs to be taken in, it's a price I'm willing to pay.

    Yayyyyyy!!! I bet it will be beautiful! In highschool I was bone thin, looked very unhealthy and not attractive at all, after that I gained and gained and gainnnnnedddd!! At one point I was up to 236 the biggest I had ever been in my entire life! I hope I never see that number again. Granted I am 5'7" and my weight evens out a tid bit, but still I never want to see that ugly number again

    Hi everyone! I'm getting married (for the second time) on August 12th, 2012. We are having the wedding in the front yard of our new house in the country, with the reception BBQ/picnic in the huge back yard (which is actually more of a meadow than a yard at this point). We will be camping & hiking in Big Sur and the Santa Cruz mountains in California for our honeymoon. I want to lose at least 40 more pounds before the big day.

    My date is July 14, 2012. I have 6 months to lose at least 10 pounds and lose some inches on my waist and bust. Would love to tone my arms and back; I have ALWAYS had trouble in this area. Add me too =)

    Celebrating 19 years of marriage on March 6, 2012 with a trip to Florida! Best of luck to all the new brides! I love being married to my best friend. There are good days and bad days but it is all worth it. I can not imagine my life without my wonderful, loving, funny and supportive husband! Just wished he could cook :)

    I am getting married exactly 5 months and 20 days and 4 hours from now lol (June 23rd)! I can't wait! I bought my dress in September and have gone down 2 sizes since then and want to have most of my weight loss for the wedding done before my birthday April 30th for alterations. I am at 308 (started at 349 and a size 28) now and want to be down to hopefully 250 but at least 275 by then for sure! I just want to be under 300 again, I haven't been there since high school! I have an amazing fiancee who has been encouraging me and has decided to join me in this journey. He has currently lost around 10 lbs! We both hold each other accountable, and it is great to have this to bring us closer too and it will make it easier to carry on once we are married and living together, instead of being 3 hours apart. Keep up the hard work girls I know we can do this!!!!
