    Hey Ladies!

    My name is Jess and I am in my FAMOH (f-ing awesome maid of honor) in my bestie's wedding on April 21st, 2012. I am extremely motivated to not be the fat braidesmaid. My best friend and all her other bridesmaids are about a size 4. While I'm not delusional to imagine that I can be a size 4, especially by April if at all, I am determined to look my best and not stand out as the "Fat One". I had to order a size 16 bridesmaid dress. They assured me the sizes run very small, however they could have been just saying that as I'm sure they had a sixth sense for the freak out looming just around the corner as soon as I could inhale again. I normally wear a size 10 dress (its the DD cups). Anyway I am determined to have to have that 16 taken in FAR!!!

    I am 25 years old and this is my 5th wedding as a bridesmaid, 2nd as the FAMOH. Just call me Katherine Heigel. I am currently in Nursing school because my first BS failed at finding me a job, and I'm not risking THAT again! I'm excited to get healthy again. My sister and I used to run all the time, at the gym, outside, 5k's 10k's, and it really made me feel crappy that we registered for and had been working toward (she, as I totally fell of the wagon) the monster dash half marathon. She ran it, I cheered her on. I felt like crap for not being able to do it. Next time we'll be doing it together, like every other race we've ever ran! And to look awesome in my bridemaid's dress as a side bennie :)

    Hi! My name is Jennifer, and I'm MOH at my best friends wedding on June 23rd 2012! (I also turn 30 the next day. Yikes! Lol)

    We already ordered the dresses, mine was ordered in a 14. (I could have gotten a 10 if it wasn't for these darn hips!) I've lost 15 pounds since then, and I hope to lose 15 more. The will only alter the dress 1 month before the wedding, so I have lots of time.

    Hey, I just got married in august and will now be a bridesmaid in my frien's wedding this coming august. I had lost 40 pounds for my wedding, which btw made my dress alterations very difficult! Anyway, I just purchased my bridesmaid dress size 4. It is very tight on me. I guess if I had to, I could wear it, but it would look a lot better if I was 10 pounds lighter.

    Hi everyone!! So thankful to have found this group! As of today, I am in 3..yes THREE weddings in 2012! I won't be surprised if that number goes up before then! I am currently about 30ish lbs over weight. So I am definitely hoping to get it off before them. The first of the 3 is on April 14, 2012. Then I am the MOH on October 13, 2012, then a bridesmaid in a wedding on October 27, 2012. I may be a little crazy for committing to 2 weddings, 2 weeks apart! Let's get the show on the road!

    Ok, I hope it isn't too late to join this group!

    My name is Laura and I'm a grad student at the University of South Florida in Tampa, FL. I'm going to be in my boyfriend's sister's wedding in May 2012 as a bridesmaid, and though I'm one of the 'smaller' girls of the 5 bridesmaids (except for the 14yo little sister), I still want to look more toned and lose about 10-15lbs.

    The hard part of this whole journey is that I am literally always studying and it's hard to work out when you have four exams every two months. So I need motivation and someone to actually tell me, LAURA, PUT DOWN THE BOOKS AND WORK OUT!

    Hope we all reach our target weight and look awesome in our bridesmaid dresses! <3

    I have a similar experience. I'm the MOH and of course the biggest of the bunch again (last year different wedding same scenario). I certainly can't hope to get down to their sizes but I am striving to look my personal best.

    Hi... My name is Moya and I`m the MOH in an October wedding. I would however like to reach the first phase of my goal weight by my birthday at the end of June. Last year I was also MOH in another wedding an I was able to lose most of the weight i wanted to... the problem was I started to gain it back two months before the wedding. Ohhh I had to fight hard just to maintain where I was. This year I fear the same thing but I really just want to be healthy in general so I dont want to postpone this journey until closer to the wedding. I really want to feel better, look better now, so here I am going after it again. For good this time!!!
