Who's gonna be a bridesmaid in a wedding this year (MEE!!!! :bigsmile: )
How bout you? Wanna keep eachother motivated? Lets do it!
I'm super excited because for the first time EVER, I'm a bridesmaid....no even better Maid of Honor!
Anyway..... Dress fittings are in July, and the Bride (Bridezilla to be politically correct) was on phentermine for a year plus, and got to a great skinny size, but she's now gaining the weight back since she got off the med. However she's still quite conceited in her comments. So with this in mind. I have to get my big butt in gear. I want to wear a size 14-16 dress. (If thats the case I got a LONGGG way to go) So that's some of my motivation..... we are still BFF's but she tends to tell me to shut up when I give ideas or whatnot....so I know she's not ready for change but I'm not letting that stop ME, and (Yes, I'll still give her a million compliments on her big day because she deserves it)
But with that little story said....who wants to join me in keeping eachother motivated..... (PS, I'm also turning 30 years old....AHHH....so I have another motivator to kick my butt)
Feel free to friend me. I don't make a lot of comments on my page, but I'm there if you need it.

I am also a Bridesmaid this year!!
I love, love, love the bride to be and could not be more excited to be in her wedding. However, when she initially asked my first thought went to, "How am i going to look up there??" So, just like you I've decided to get motivated!!
Her wedding is the first week of May (Cinco de Mayo actually) and I graduate from graduate school 6 days after that. I want to look wonderful and feel confident. So, @farmers_daughter, I'm with ya!! Let's keep each other motivated0 -
Me too :-))))) Me friend (who has just joined MFP today!) is getting married in Lake Garda in Italy (I am from the UK)
Very exciting! Hope you all enjoy being bridesmaid!0 -
I'm not sure the wedding I'm going to this year has bridesmaids but I'm considering myself an honorary one since the bride is one of my closest friends. It will be a reunion of a lot of my friends from HS so I'm using that as motivation to get in shape. So while I don't exactly fit in the category I'm not too far off. Feel free to friend me!0

this is PERFECT... i am in one of my best friends wedding and i am STRESSING out... although i have been trying to lose weight half heartedly for awhile now, this is the kick in the butt i need! here is how the wedding party looks right now.... bride= 5'5 130 lbs MOH= 5'1 100 lbs bm#1= 5'6 160 lbs and then there is me, all 5'10 218 lbs of me... i CANNOT stand up there next to them looking like godzilla. i wont do it. i want to be down to my pre pregnancy weight of 160. my big problem is she wants the dresses ordered by the end of Jan (wedding is in Aug) and i dont know what size to order, i guess it can always be taken in....0

I am the maid of honor for my best friend on June 30, and would like to lose at LEAST 40 pounds by then. We are dress shopping this weekend, and I am not looking forward to it! I would love to be able to wear a dress size that I am not embarrassed by! I need motivation, and support, because I am not really all in, but want to be so badly! I need help! Lets do this!0

I am in a wedding the first weekend in May. The dress is awful...so i would like to look as good in it as possible.0

I'm a bridesmaid for a wedding in September. I have no idea what the dresses will look like, but I have love handles enough to go around so I would love to too good in what ever dress is chosen!0
-
yay! I'm a bridesmaid in one of my closest friends wedding in June. goal of 10-15lb by the wedding. feel free to add! (:0

I just found out I'm pregnant and the bride is NOT happy. :-/0

I am a bridesmaid in my friend's wedding March 10th! I ordered a dress from Alfred Angelos (we all did) and they all came a size small on all of us. They can "work" but you can barely breathe in them!! (corset type) I wanted to loose 10 pounds so I can breathe and dance in it but I've lost 6 already and still is uncomfortable. I would like to loose 10-15 by then anything will help! I would like to enjoy the night with my friend and not be uncomfortable the whole time0

I'm a bridesmaid for September 2012! It will be my 6th time I think...I'm beginning to lose track. I have a feeling my life is like 27 Dresses. Anyway, I've got 41 lbs to lose to be at my goal weight, and I intend on being pretty darn close to that in September which means I've got to lose 5 lbs a month. I'm single again, so I want to be super cute for my cousin' big day. Her fiance has lots of hot friends! Woohoo!0
-
I'm my sisters maid of honor for her wedding that is on my birthday this year! lol I want to loose at least 5lbs by then to look good for every thing! Lets keep each other motivated!0
-
BOO to her!!
Congratulations!!
I'm Maid of Honor in October, and I already warned her I might be pregnant by then! You will be beautiful and just remember you still have duties as a Bridesmaid so dont let her down!!
Best of Luck!0 -
i just had to chime in here - i'm actually a 2012 bride and i just started a 2012 bride bootcamp group on mfp. my thread was pretty much the same as this one, just thought it was funny :laugh:
yay for bridesmaids, you ladies do so much, us brides would be lost without you!0 -
I will be a Matron of Honor this year (May) for the second time and in a wedding for the 4th or 5th time (including my own) i need to be HOT for this is my "skinny, big busted, beautiful" sister's wedding. im definately a tomboy that likes to workout, swim, lift weights that doesnt really care about hair or nails or makeup or clothes (at all). ive always been the son my parents never had LOL and i had gained 85 pounds over the last 5 years due to HUGE medical issues and otns of surgeries, nervous sytem disease, stroke, and obviously lazyness and LOVING comfort food haha0

Meee!
Bridesmaid for my boyfriends sister in August

Feel free to add me!
:flowerforyou:0 -
I am my younger sister's matron of honor this coming April: I have reached my goal (lost 20 pounds since October) and have to maintain now (yeah! just changed my profile to maintenance today, that is a bit weird).
My sister thinks I am to thin now... but I don't mind, I feel great, and I want to keep it that way!0 -
I am in a wedding the first weekend in May. The dress is awful...so i would like to look as good in it as possible.
This made me LOL at my desk.
I am in my law school BFF's wedding on May 12 and my college BFF's wedding on May 25. May 12 wedding attire is any black cocktail dress and terrible shoes. There are 9 bridesmaids and I've always been one of the heaviest of the group, but this time I want to be one of the hottest! The May 25 wedding is a very fitted red poly satin which shows every lump and bump, and the bride is tiny and I'm afraid of looking like a giant tomato next to her. I have my work cut out for me!
Good luck to all the 2012 bridesmaids and brides!0 -
I'm the matron of honor for my brothers August wedding... Most of the girls are tiny!0

I am my sisters MOH in her September wedding. I'm aiming to lose 60lb by my birthday in August so as a plus I'll look great for her wedding. She has Cyan, Electric Blue and Indigo as her colours (for the grammar nazi's that word is not spelt wrong I'm an Aussie and we spell it with an U) for BM dresses and I want to do justice to the dress, plus the groom's sister hates me and I wanna look better then her. She is mad she isn't MOH and has already made snide comments on how I'll look in the photos.0

I am being a bridesmaid for the first time this year at the age of 42! The other bridesmaids are 2 young teens and a twenty something size 10. I'm hoping to get from a large (UK) size 18 to a 14 or small 16 by May! :bigsmile:0

I'm a bridesmaid in 2013...=( can I still be a part of the club?0

I'm a bridesmaid too!! For one of my best mates. The dress is GORGEOUS though so I'm really lucky in that regard. I am hoping to lose 20 kg by the wedding in October. Feel free to add me if you want! We can keep each other motivated!0
-
I am one this year in April! And one in June of 2013! Great way to keep me motivated to keep the weight off!!0

I've been a bridesmaid quite a few times in the last couple years. Unfortunately most of my friends and sister decided to get married when I was at my weight high. lol By the way bridesmaid dress sizing is different than regular sizing. Be prepared for the number to be 1-2 sizes bigger. (They should totally vanity size those suckers). Do NOT order smaller thinking you will fit into it by then. Not a good idea, they can usually let out maybe an inch but alterations are very expensive and it's cheaper to take in then take all the seams out to let out. And you don't want the big day to arrive and you have to tell the bride that your dress doesn't zip. I always had a problem because I have a smallish waist and big hips so to accomodate the hips I'd have to order really big where it was falling down on top, so alteration city. My brides were usually good at letting the bridesmaids decide on dresses, we did all wear the same one but came to a consensus and she had the color and the final vote. Trying them on is hard to see what works since they usually only have gowns in size 6 or so, so they let you try it on with the back open and you can't really tell how it will fit. lol I just figure it is their pictures so if they pick dresses that make the maids look ugly, we will ruin their pictures not ours. As long as you don't "tag" me in the unflattering ones, I don't care. And spanx is hard to get on and off when you really have to pee quick.0

Me too....sisters bridesmaid 2013 :-)0 -
I am co-chief bridesmaid for my twin sisters wedding on August 4th! We bought our dresses last july, they are very flattering and suit all 3 of us even though we are all completely different. I chose a uk12, I am usually a uk16 so my aim is to fit into the dress. My sister is also a bit of a bridezilla but I am forgiving her because as we share a birthday this is truly 'Her Day'
We are all so excited as she's the first to marry so I am determined to look good at her wedding! I'm growing my hair even though I love it short and I am in the process of going back to being a brunette as she doesn't want me to have red hair.
Before we bought the dresses her fiance joked that she should buy the dresses smaller than we all are and if we don't fit into them then we can't come to the wedding!
Did I mention my twin is a size uk6!!!!0 -
I am not a bridesmaid this year. However, I am the wedding coordinator for my cousin's wedding in July. I am feeling a lot of pressure. I will have alot of running around to do that week and especially that day. She is getting married at a botanical garden so there is a lot of ground to cover. I just recently was able to start back going grocery shopping so I have WORK TO DO. I believe we all can do it ladies. It will be so great to look the way you want to in the pictures. Thanks to the bride, you will see those pics almost everyday for months to come after the wedding, : )0
