I'm getting married August 2013, which I realize is over a year from now but I'm already working at achieving and maintaining my ideal bridal body.0

It's not a wedding I am losing weight for but my 25th wedding anniversary is in April and I want to look awesome, Our daughters are throwing us an anniversary bash in Vegas and friends I haven't seen since high school are going to be there. I have 20 lbs. to get to my ultimate goal weight, 15 more lbs. and I will be very happy though. 3 monthes left to get there and I know I can do it and I wish the best of success to all you beautiful people.0

Hi. I'm getting married in July and need to lose 50 lbs! I'm 4 lbs down already and I just started!0

I have a wedding in April and I'd like to lose twenty pounds by then! Or lose part of that and tone up the rest! My b/f is the best man so I'm doing this with him and he's trying to lose about 50. We'll see how it goes!0

I am looking to see if anyone else is looking to lose weight for a wedding day. And I'm not just talking about brides! I've never been married, but this is my 5th time being a bridesmaid (yes, I'll be just 22 dresses from being the next Katherine Heigel). I want to look my best on the day of my friends wedding and not look back at wedding day photos and regret that I hadn't tried harder.
So if your a bride, groom, mother/father-of-the-bride, groomsman, bridesmaid, or just an attendee and have a goal date of a wedding in mind, let me know and perhaps we can start a little support group.
My goal is to lose 25 pounds by August 18th and maintain it (or whichever comes first). I'd also like to decrease my waist by 5 inches.
Anyone else have goals/dates?

I don't see where she said she put back on any weight after losing it. And she did say she is wanting to maintain after she loses the weight.0 -

My sister is getting married in June and before the proposal she had been working, eating great and looks her absolute BEST! I'm so proud of her! However, I'm her MoH and I have recently discovered that I'm the heaviest I've been in my life. We almost look like twins so I'd love to look just as healthy standing next to her on her wedding day. These are certainly pictures I'd love to be proud to display! Her wedding is just one of the reasons I've decided to change my lifestyle0

I'm the maid of honor for a 2013 wedding in Italy. It's not my main motivation for losing weight and getting healthy, but it definitely factors in. It's my second time being a maid of honor, third time as a bridesmaid. I'm looking forward to looking good in any dress they throw at me and to feeling confident, especially for an overseas adventure!0

I am getting married July 28th this year! I bought my dress over the Christmas Holidays... 2 sizes smaller than I am now. :-) So that better be motivation!
I joined MFP exactly a week ago and have lost 4 lbs. I want to lose 29 more before my dress fitting on May 17th. It's roughly 1.7 pounds a week-- which is challenging, but definitely doable!
It's been SO fun planning the details for my wedding, and of course I want it to be everything I imagine it will be. My dress is beautiful... and strapless...so I have all the reasons in the world to rock it!
I have been engaged since July of this year and I'm telling all you brides-to-be with wedding coming up in "awhile"-- like the next year or 2-- time flies when you're having fun!! It has gone by really fast, so don't wait til the last minute! There's not a better reason/motivation for wanting to look and feel your best, on the day that is all about YOU, So let's make it happen!!0 -
My Wedding! Oct 2013 in Oahu, Hawaii. Goal to lose 100lbs by January 2013 so I can go dress shopping. Then get as close to my ultimate goal weight (150lbs) as I can get by Oct 2013 so I will look stunning not only on my wedding day but on the beach with my then husband and family.0

I am a bridesmaid in May and August this year and don't want to feel a frump compared to the other gorgeous bridesmaids! Also have a holiday where I want to wear a bikini instead of hiding in a baggy tshirt! x0

Hello! Soon-to-be Bride here!
My wedding is on April 21st and it's seems like the SECOND I got engaged, I put on 20 pounds. Now, I'm looking to take that off and then some.
My ultimate goal is to lose 25 pounds....but wedding goal is to get down another 15-20 before the wedding and I am willing to do what it takes to get there0 -
Not trying to be an a** here, but I'm always curious why it's just for weddings that most females just want to look their best. Why not look your best all the time and not just for an event?
It's not JUST for weddings that women want to look their best...obviously. BUT, for most women it is one of the most important and most heavily photographed days of their lives. It's a day where all eyes are on them and they want to feel beautiful. I see nothing wrong with using one's wedding as motivation to jump start a fitness routine. Your question is like asking why supermodels want to look pretty for a fashion show, or why celebrities dress up for Award Shows or why body builders want to be big for competitions...0 -

Then I hear "wishes" that they were that size again and look back at the pictures with sadness. So it baffles me that if they are willing to do it for 1 DAY, why not embrace the size for life? That's all I wanted to encourage.

Hello! I am getting married in April and would also like to lose a few pounds. Actually more like 15-20 pounds. I'm getting married on a cruise ship, so my wedding and honeymoon are combined. I'm working like crazy to get the weight off, but I have to remind myself that no matter what, I'm gonna have a good time!! Good luck everyone!0

I am the "best man" for my brother's wedding! Since i'm wearing a women's cut suit, i'd like to be in a bit better shape. And yes, i want to look good in the pictures, but that's only my short-term goal.0

We've all gained it back, that's why we're here. You're a fitness instructor and somewhere along the way "gained it back" instead of maintaining. Life happens, and people fall off the wagon. I look at my wedding as a motivation...the jump-start I needed to really focus on weight loss and getting healthy, and I am determined to maintain after my wedding day. Sometimes, having a "fun" event to look forward to can help people stay motivated. I know we should all be working to be fit for our health, etc, but having something to do it FOR can be more helpful in the motivation department. Now every time I'm tempted to overeat, I think about how I want to look on my wedding day, instead of just saying "oh, well I've got time to eventually work that off."0 -
