I'm excited for these new groups. :happy: My name is Shawna and I have been engaged for 4 weeks now! I am so lucky to get to marry a man who is so loving and caring and AWESOME! :love: I have been on MFP for about a year now and I have had my ups and downs. Right now I am on my 3rd month of no weighing. I have not stepped on a scale in a very long time but I will on Nov 23rd before Thanksgiving :laugh: I can't wait to get to know you ladies. Is anyone in California? I'm in Oceanside, ca

    Love your engagement pictures too! I am hoping to find someone who is skilled with dogs because we both want Ginger, our dog, in our photos!

    Thanks Shawna.
    My profile picture is actually just a mini session we did with our photographer. She is a close friend of mine. She did a session with our mastiff last spring before we got Fiona as a puppy so we had her do family pics a couple weeks ago. :-D BUT she did do our engagement photos.... here is a link to the sneak peek of our engagement photos. https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.255807264444092.71942.120003048024515&type=1
    She is A-mazing and never disappoints us.
    It will be neat to have other brides to visit with and stuff. Especially with us all on a path to better health too! I ordered my dress last month. First fitting is end of April- that is my goal, the last 20 lbs by my fitting! I am 70 down total... and so close to where I want to be!
    So much incentive, healthy life and feeling great at the wedding and on the honeymoon! :-D

    I am in Kansas City and have been engaged since April 2011. Our date is Feb 2013. We had a lot going on last year but I have just recently really started planning heavily. I also have a personal trainer and a goal of not being a two hundered pound bride or a size 12, which ever comes first. I ordered my dress 2 sizes small and am very close to that size plus have the ability to be 4 sizes smaller than that, Yaye tailoring and corset backs! I love that there is a place to relate to other brides trying to do it all and still stay sane and get healthy. :heart: loving the idea of getting support! Friend me if you are in the same boat!

    I just friended you! We're about an hour away from each other and I'm getting married a month before you. I don't know what size of dress I'm wanting to get, but I'm definitely wanting to lose about 40 lbs. total before I go try them on, and then hopefully lose another 40 lbs. before the wedding and have a dress that can be altered.

    Im super excited to meet you! Im Kendra. I see your plan, but make sure you get your dress ordered by March! the people at Davids Bridal said it could take 3 months for the dress to arrive, 6 weeks for each alteration/fitting and you will need two of those. they can take two sizes off of a dress but cannot let it out. Also corsetted backs can be laced to fit tighter by nearly two sizes as well. At least thats what I am counting on. I know it feels like a long ways away but I wouldnt wait too long! Good luck!
