I'm getting married this year and hope to have lost at least 4 stone for the big day. my partner is also on a diet and is helping me with my weight loss as i in turn help him with his he wants to lose about 21lbs. We live in the Midlands and have been together for nearly 10 years. Hoping to have chat with other people who want to lose weight for their wedding and chat about how they are working their diet while stressing over final preparations.

    Hi! I also got motivated to lose weight (after a few years of being unhappy with my appearance) because of my upcoming wedding. It's going to be next year, not this year, but I'm excited this was the final push to get me serious about losing weight I put on during my pregnancy 5 years ago. I will admit, I am from the US, and I'm not really sure about the pound to stone conversion, but I wish you luck! What are your wedding plans so far? My guy and I have decided to do a very small wedding on the beach in Oregon, just his parents and my parents as witnesses, no bridesmaids, no wedding dress, no reception, no cake - we are basically eloping, with two extra witnesses. We just want it simple, fun, and above all, STRESS FREE! Hats off to you for going the traditional route. We barely even made it through preplanning mode for a traditional wedding when I got too stressed and we both decided we were just going to have fun.

    Hi all. I'm getting married end of Aug/Sept (we haven't finalized the date since it's in Vegas) and really want to get back to the weight I was when we started dating so I need to drop about 30 lbs. I think it's possible, but it will be tough. I hope to keep it off too. Really just want to look good in my bikini on the honeymoon.

    I'm getting married on October 13th, and I'd love to be at my goal weight of 139 on that day. That's only around 7-8 pounds a month, so it should be pretty doable! My main issue is that I NEED to start shopping for a dress within the next month or two, and I will be nowhere NEAR my goal weight

    Hello all! I'm getting married June 23rd, 2012 and hope to lose 20 pounds. So far I'm down 6 pounds in 2 and a half weeks, but I've got a long ways to go and not much time!

    To the lovely lady who posted above me: My dress doesn't fit either! That's what I get for buying it before the Holidays. I've never been so upset over a piece of clothing before. UGH!

    HI Everyone!!! I am getting married September 2nd in O-H-I-O baby! :) Fiance and I have been together over 5 years and we have a german shepherd pup named Mavrik who will be our ring bearer on the big day!

    I did the BIG UH-OH and bought my wedding dress back in october TWO SIZES SMALLER than what I tried on! Thankfully i have lost a little over 20lbs since Christmas and my dress fits perfectly! I am hoping that I can drop another 20 lbs before the big day. My dress can be taken in three sizes so I am hoping to take it in at least two!

    Congrats on everyones upcoming nuptials and good luck on your journey!!!

    I'm getting married December 1 and would like to lose 8-10 lb. That's about how much I've gained in the last 2 years of grad school! I ordered my dress yesterday and love it! Would like to be a bit thinner in the waist though. I think since my weight gain was stress-induced it is all in the stomach area. augustbride20, I think we're in the same boat with grad school!
