    Yes! Yes! Yes! I'm getting married on October 27, 2012. I am an older bride (51) and am looking to weigh about 120 by then. I currently weigh 139. I won't be looking to try on dresses (and not sure about a traditional wedding dress since I've been married before) until April or May - just hoping to make a significant dent by then.... :)

    Im getting married in Mexico on the beach in 43 Days!!!! February 15th at 3:00. Ive surpassed my weight goal and I just need to maintaine and continue toning. I ordered my dress in a size 4 and when I picked it up it was too big(yay)! I have to take it for alterations on Jan 20th so I have a couple of weeks to get to my ideal shape and then stay there! Good luck to everyone and give yourself enough time to get to reach your goals in a HEALTHY way. Remember..he loved you enough to want to marry you, so regardless of the size you are on your wedding day..he won't care. :)

    Aww! You're so sweet.

    It's true. They really don't care. My future hubby has told me several times "We could get married tomorrow and you would still be beautiful. Don't get too stressed out over how you look. You're beautiful no matter what." =D He makes me happy, hehe.

    MEXICO!!! Dang, girl. I envy you. =D I'm doing a church wedding in Edmonton, Alberta in the fall.

    My wedding dress is an interesting story, though...two years ago, we were engaged and I had ordered my gown. It was PERFECT. But the engagement ended and I cancelled the order. We got engaged again and I went back to the same store, not expecting to find the dress...but it was THERE!!! And in the perfect size! =D It's meant to beeeee!!!!

    The dress fits and looks fabulous now, so I just want to tone up. I'm not going to fret about being 'skinny' or 'thin,' I just want to be fit and healthy.

    Hi ladies!!!! I will be getting married on July 31st 2012 in Ocho Rios Jamaica. I am really really excited. My fiance and I had been planning a big wedding for June 1st 2013 but with my extremley large family it started to be more about accomidating everyone else and taking away from the fact this is our day. So we moved the date up and decided that we wanted to be married on the beach with our close family. It will be Live streamed so everyone else can enjoy as we do. Than we are coming home and have a fantastic party to celebrate with our friends and family. I've picked out my dress but I am waiting a little while to have it ordered. I would like to shed 73 pounds by than, but I know that , that is a lot so I will be happy with less as long as I'm toned and comfortable.

    Congratulations girls!!!

    6 months , 28 days, 13 minutes and 29 seconds !!!

    I just got engaged on 12/23/11, and we don't have a date yet but I think it will be in about a year!! I have a lot to lose but I started myfitnesspal on 1/1/12 and I am motivated to stick to it! it helps a lot that one of my best friends is starting with me, we live in the same apartment complex and went to the gym today. It's a great help having her for motivation, and my wedding for motivation, too. Congrats to all you brides! I know I can do it and if I can, I know you can too!

    That's awesome you were able to attend a wedding there!! What started the courage part was I could tell that the big wedding was not what my fiance wanted, of course he would do anything to make me happy, but from day one when we first started talking about marriage he had always said he wanted it to be special , me and him, and make it memorable. We started with that than things got out of control! This is going to be the day (week) for him and I and to be able to express our love in our own unique way. I was so concernded at first for my family (distant) but they all have been so supportative and are really excited for us!!

    Were my big fears and the thing I need courage is for stepping out onto the beach or swimming up to the pool bar in a swim suite Yikes!!!!

    Hello! I just joined this site today but had been using another similar before. My wedding is November 3, 2012 so exactly 10 months away. I'm looking to lose a lot more weight than I can by then, but if I can drop 60 by then I'll be happy. So far I've got 5.6 down.

    I'm sticking to 1500 calories a day but will drop that a bit here and there as I start to weigh less. I'm also in martial arts twice a week, and have just been moved up to advanced with actual combat starting tomorrow.

    I found my dream dress two weeks ago, and will order in February hopefully already a size smaller! Damn those bridal sizing charts.

    Hey everyone,
    My wedding date is June 30, 2012!
    -- I'm looking to drop 30 pounds before April. Hopefully. I have had my dress since August and have not put it back on since I was at the store last. I am hoping to be able to exchange for a smaller size come April and then get alterations done in May.

    Congratulations! This is definitely the year for weddings. I know of at least 6 this year amongst family/friends!
