    My wedding is in October and I started at the gym three weeks ago. Progress is slow but I am developing a routine and eating healthier. I'm keen to be added for anyone wanting to chat and share motivational tips (or wedding ideas ha ha).

    Congratulations on the engagement. Now, let's get down to business.

    You want to lose weight for your wedding, that's great. You have a set a goal of 60-80 pounds... Let's stop right there. For starters I highly doubt you have 60-80 pounds of fat. Here is how to determine your lean body mass:

    Body Fat in lbs. =
    (Total Bodyweight) (Body Fat Percentage (in decimal form))

    Anyway, I would focus on building a sound program around nutrition, weight training, add cardio when needed. Don't be concerned so much about the numbers. Trust me if you start now, you will look great at your wedding.

    That will determine how much fat you actually have.

    Anyway,

    Hi,
    I'm trying to lose weight for my Daughters wedding July this year. I don't want to be a fat MOTB!!

    Have been a member on RC diet club but have only lost 3lbs in 3 weeks so I am really trying now I have joined MFP.
    Good luck to you all, lets DO IT together. I'm an oldie compared to you all but I am eager to see the scales go down at least 30 lbs between now and the middle of July.

    Hi!

    I am getting married in November this year. I started early to lose weight as I never have problems losing the weight, I can just never maintain it! I gues I thought if I started early, I had more motivation to keep it off this time. I have been on MFP properly now for just over 100 days and plan to keep it up until my wedding which is over 37 weeks away!!

    Anyway, would be nice to have fellow brides-to-be as my friends so will add you! :-)

    I am getting married May 19th and have about 25 lbs to lose. I do not realistically think I will lose it all by then, but would like to lose half of it. I lost about 11 lbs before starting MFP and tried on my dress today and it actually fit. Now I am wondering if I do lose more weight, if I will need to have it taken in. It was small when I got it and held of an alterations as motivation to lose the weight! Good luck!
