    Been engaged for two years in April. I'm just taking my time until I lose the blubber so I can look good at my 2nd dress fitting. The first fitting was awful. Was so bloated, then again, I was 8 weeks pregnant!

    I'm getting married in April. My lovely fiancee does a daily countdown it seems whenever he does a check of our registry. 89 days to go!

    I'm trying to get my weight lower but I'm not setting a certain goal. I would love to be able to fit into my dress without needing alterations... wish I started this earlier so it was more attainable.

    Good luck to all you ladies!

    I am getting married in July and took things a step further, thinking about the motivation I would have from buying my dress a size smaller! I am regretting that goal as there is a strict policy around not being able to take the dress back if I dont meet my personal weight loss goals! I am determined to get into that dress, I have my first fitting in April!

    I'm getting married 8.25.12!!! I'm hoping to lose around 50 more pounds before my big day. I'll never be a trophy wife but I wouldn't mind being mistaken for one!

    My dress has been ordered but it won't be in until April. I'm hoping they have to take it in quite a bit!!

    1. GREAT job on doing so well with losing the weight! I'm so proud of you!!
    2. I have also heard that certain dresses can also only be altered by two sizes. Does it have a lot of beading?
    3. Speaking of being stressed as time goes by...I'm with you there! I've also been engaged for quite awhile (since May of 2010...I finish grad school in May this year so we were waiting for that), and I definitely know I'm behind!

    We haven't set a date yet, but we've been tentatively thinking about Spring or early summer of next year (May/June). I'm graduating from law school in May and taking the bar exam in July, so we don't want to do any planning until that stress is finished! While May 2013 it is a long way off, I am over 100 pounds away from my goal weight so I can certainly use the time!

    I also bought a dress a bit too small. I was between sizes. The size up would have to be taken in and the size down (which is the one I got) won't do up. I got for a fitting next month so I'm hoping the zipper does up a bit more. Mine can be altered by changing the zipper to a corset but I hope I don't need to do that.

    My best friend is getting married in just under a year so I'm sure I'll be at my goal weight by than.

    Not a bride but a bridesmaid with the bride putting alot of pressure on me. Would like to drop about 20lbs or better for June 9th, I think its do-able but I'm having a hard time managing my diet with a very picky husband, working full time and going to school.

    Anyone else getting family pressure or pressure from the rest of the bridal party to shed?

    Wow that's just mean! I can't imagine pressuring any of my bridesmaids to lose weight for my wedding. Frankly I'd tell her where to shove it (but that's just me). You're an amazing friend to put up with a bridezilla like that!!

    For the original post: my wedding is still a ways off (2013/05/18) - the fiance and I want to finish school and find jobs before we get hitched (he's studying to be a paramedic, I just finished my nursing degree). I want to get in shape now because it's not just a for the wedding thing, it's a for life thing for me! Went to my first wedding show today and had tons of fun, serious planning starts in two weeks (after I finish studying for and writing my licensing exam).
