in Introduce Yourself
I'm getting married in October...when we had our engagement photos taken, all I could see when I looked at the photos was how overweight I was, and not how happy I was. I DO NOT want that same feeling when I look at our wedding pictures.

We're just shy of 5 months away from the wedding, so my goal is to get my mind and my body back in a positive direction by October.

Any other brides-to-be out there with me in these goals??

Add me as a friend and we'll do it together!

    My wedding is in July, just 10 weeks away! I really want to lose 10 pounds in 10 weeks but we will see... my first fitting is mid may, I hope i'll be down 5 pounds my then and then I have a final fitting 2 weeks before the wedding. Luckily my dress is lace up in the back, so it can accommodation if i loose or gain weight. However its strapless and I really want my arms to look OK in the photos! add me as a friend if you would like!

    I am also getting married in October, on the 6th. I hear you about the photos. Although I am pretty close to my goal weight, or much closer than I was, I am now really concerned about toning my arms and back! I watch all of those cheesy bridal shows, and even a lot of thin girls' dresses make them have back fat blubbing over the top. That's my fear, and I just got my dress yesterday (at the Kleinfeld sample sale. Yay!), and lo and behold, I have back fat in it! I am going to add you, OP, and any other brides who want to add me, please feel free. I am tempted to buy one of those bride-specific workouts, hoping they will target the key areas to look great in a dress, but as we all know, planning a wedding costs soo much freaking money, so I may just restart doing the Biggest Loser workouts. Anyone else working on sculpting?

    Hopefully in the next couple years I'll be a bride to be haha, and I have all these notions of what my dress will be like and engagement photos and so on and none of them involve this 203lb body.

    I am getting married next March, so a little under a year! I have lost like 16 lbs so far but want to lose 10 more! We have our engagement shoot in less than a month so it would be GREAT if I could lose at least 5 more before then! Good luck ladies :)
