    Mine is 10-27-12 and I need to lose 30ish lbs before I get my dress altered in August/September. My wedding is Halloween themed we are having 70 guests It is all I think about but I am seriously struggling to START my wedding dress diet. I keep starting and getting off track then re-starting. This group will be great to keep me motivated to the wedding...after the wedding I'll have another 40-60 lbs to go til my long term goal!

    I know it is very hard to stay on track, but because I now have my own wedding coming I know I can do it and Im down 15 lbs in 5 weeks!!! I normally only stick to healthy eating & lose weight when I have something to look forward to like being in someones wedding or going on a trip that I have to wear a bathing suit on. Or even a class reunion. I am also in a biggest loser competition too so that really helps. I have to finish college this year and my wedding is next Summer 2013!!!

    Well my wedding was supposed to be in April but we didnt have enough money, so we moved it, we just dont have another date set yet. But i already bougt my dress, and i like it, but i just dont like how i feel in it. I think the most thing I'm nervous about is standing in front of all of our family and having them judge us. there is only going to be about 50 people there. My main goal is to lose 70 lbs. hopefully by christmas. But so far my start is really slow, I need to get my mindset together and then get the ball rolling. Because losing 70 pounds isn't ging to be easy.

    We are getting married October 6th, 2012 at a small chapel in Charlotte, NC. We have around 100 ppl coming to the service, and 160-170 at the reception. I have already lost 16 lbs since October, but just want to drop about 7-10 more. I borrowed the dress from a friend, and it is pretty exciting bc I already need to get it taken in! I am not only doing this for my wedding, but to build a healthier life for my fiance and myself!

    My wedding is May 26, 2012 and we are having a small, intimate sunset beach wedding in Ocean City, MD (about three hours from here). We will have about 25 guests. No reception, just going to a nice restaurant after the ceremony for dinner and drinks. I am wearing a spaghetti strapped A line dress, very simple but perfect for a beach wedding!

    I have 2 weddings. One on 05/05/12 on Oahu and a second in Arizona on 08/25/12 where my fiance is from. The Oahu wedding will be by the beach with about 80 people. The Arizona wedding will be at a wedding reception site with about 120 people. My time is way short and to lose some weight before the first wedding would be great. Now if I can lose enough weight by the second wedding so I have to get a new dress, now that would be awesome!

    My wedding is August 25th 2012! I getting married outdoors in rural Oregon, 5 mountain view, sunset, eco-country-vintage theme, perfect groom. The only thing missing is me feeling my absolute best! My wedding being late summer gives me plenty of time to feel my absolute best. I want to lose 22 pounds, at 1 pound a week. I have never been very good at counting calories, but hopefully this website makes it easier. I'm also hoping that a group of like minded women can really motivate me to get off my butt and move.

    We can do this ladies!!

    I'm getting married in June or July of this year - we have the place picked out and already deposited on... now if only we could set a firm date...... We are getting married in a large city owed home that is there just for such an occasion - it is very vintage, but classy and perfect for our styles. I have already lost 59lbs but would like to lose another 20 before the wedding and then after that I would like to lose another 20.. reaching 160 for my big wonderful day would be great- and eventually be 140 would be the ULTIMATE goal :D Good luck ladies I know this is alll very exciting!

    We are getting married Sept, 14, 2013.

    We are getting married in Oakville, Ontario, Canada. We have booked our reception venue, http://www.atriumbc.ca/index.php We are expecting 125 people. We would like to get married in a Church.

    Lots of work to be done.. I want to shop for my dress in June - but I'd like to get down a few pounds before I start to try anything on.

    I have been on MFP since April 2010 where I have lost 30lbs, however in November I fell and fractured my elbow in 4 places and needed surgery (26 screws and 3 plates later my elbow is put back together). Still have one of my fractures that is still healing, so my workouts are limited to biking and running for now, and some abs that dont require my arms. I am not allowed to lift anything more than 2 lbs. But I do work my legs with strength training. Since November I have probably gained back sme of the weight I had lost, (havent been on the scale as of late *too nervous* But I have definetely lost a lot of my toning and arm strength.

    Hoping my arm heals quickly and I can get back to harder stuff like planks, and arm/shouler/back strength training and do 30 day shred again.

    Looking forward to this journey :) and cheers to OUR amazing Bride Bodies :):):)

    Congrats! I am getting married the week after your Oahu wedding.
    My future husband and I are moving to Honolulu in August for him to attend UH Manoa School of Law!

    I'm getting married 18 August 2012 in Atlanta, GA. I've lost 10 pounds since New Years and plan to lose another 6 before my dress is due to arrive at the end of April. It's been a interesting journey of weeks with big drops followed by weeks of plateau. But I've been holding to the idea that with hard work, the scale will move again! Mostly this is also a journey to get to know my body again after the baby. Taking off the weight was never this hard before her arrival! Hope to be the sexy mom at the wedding!

    Hey there everyone!!! I just joined myfitnesspall to help me fight through those last few pounds before our April 21 wedding! when we got engaged I was 175 (biggest ever!) and now I'm at 152!!

    I purchased my sample gown (a beautiful Oscar de la Renta) that I could NEVER afforded as a brand new dress, and it was SUPER tight at the time. Now it fits and is actually a little big on top!!!!

    My goal is to be a 145 by the time our wedding comes around so I am really working hard for these last few weeks.

    Let's GO!!!

    Thx for the vote of confidence. Hope your elbow heals up. A injury always sucks! Plus side, sounds like you have plenty of time to get to heal up before your wedding and are well on your way to your goal!

    We are getting married on September 15th, 2012 in Chicago, IL at Revolution Brewery. I won't be doing my dress fittings until the end of July so that's when I want to reach my goal weight. I'm currently 143 (down from about 190) and want to get down to 120 for the wedding. My dress is a size larger to fit my bust so I'm not worried about losing the weight to fit into it, and it will be taken in no matter what. But I would love to look tight and firm for the wedding night and honey moon! Plus it's almost bikini season!

    June 9 in Memphis! We're having an old-school rock-and-roll / rockabilly / folk-themed wedding reception.

    I tried on the dress today, and it's snug, so I have room to lose a few pounds. I'm only getting it altered to have it hemmed and to have off-the-shoulder sleeves added.

    I weighed in at 141.2 this morning, hope to be at 138 by April 27, and we'll see from there. I was hoping to get down to 125, but I slacked off for too long, so I'm hoping to weigh between 130-135. Then again, I started eating vegan recently (I'd been vegetarian for almost a year), and I lost 3.6 pounds in a week. Bella, our stats are very similar. My high weight was 190 too! And I weighed in the low 170s when he proposed.

    Hello !

    My wedding is October 6, 2012 in the suburbs of Cleveland, Ohio. My wedding theme is fall elegent with colors plum, chocolate, gold, and deep reds. I have already bought my dress but would feel much better if I loose at least 10 lbs. My first fitting is in July so I only have 3 months to reach that 10 lb goal : / Ive been a slacker saying " I have time" or I will still look fine if I dont loose weight' but it IS TIME TO LOOSE !!!!:smile:
