Hi! I've been on MFP for about 2 yrs now and am currently right back to where I began! I have been honored to be asked to be a maid of honor in a wedding in less than 10 months and i need to get in shape! I'm sure there are plenty of you out there to form a team to get in shape for upcoming weddings :) we can all put our weights in through friday and then weigh in each friday so we can have the weekend to fall off track and start again on monday and still see results each fridays :)))) who's in????

    You can count me in! This sounds like just what I need... I am getting married September 25, 2010. It will make 5 years since me and my fiance started dating! We were planning on getting married this year, but school, my weight and a few other things made us put it off another year (plus next year that date will be a saturday..:happy: ) So anyway.. I think this will really help me. I still have about 65 pounds to lose, or get to a size 8 or 6.. We shall see when I get there! :bigsmile:

    That's funny! I guess 5 years is just a good time to get married or something. We would have gotten married earlier, but I wanted to be at least 21 before I get married, and it just kinds worked out to be the best time, too lol. We started dating when I was 16... And as far as going somewhere.. I'm pretty sure we're going to Hawaii, that really motivates me, too. I went there in '05 with my mom and it was absoutely amazing. It is by far the prettiest place I've ever seen (and if you haven't been there, the pictures don't even come close to showing you how pretty it really is..)

    Count me in! I need some accountability in my life. I've been slipping here lately and keep gaining and losing the same 3 pounds. I'm going to be a bridesmaids in a wedding in May and I would love to lose these last 25 pounds by then =)

    Ooh I wanna join! Is it ok if I wegh in on wednesdays?

    SW- 195
    CW as of yesterday- 171.1 :love:
    GW- 130-140 We'll see

    I'm in a wedding this weekend and wanted to be 170 by then but when I had to pay over $100 to have the dress taken in I realised I'm way happier with that than with the lbs lost. lol

    My wedding is 9/10/11 unless I can convince my man to run off and elope with me. :laugh: He's the one that wants the big wedding. :grumble:

    Hey busymom! Welcome!

    Isn't it such an awesome feeling when you have to have things taken in. I tried on dresses a couple weeks ago not really expecting much (I know I'm silly because I'll be 50-60 lbs lighter when I actually buy my dress and styles will look way different on me, but it was fun!) and I was so amazed that I was fitting perfectly into size 16's dress after dress after dress right off the racks. I can't wait to be at my goal weight and try on dresses again! I looked at the pictures my MOH was taking of me in each dress and I'm starting to look skinny!! WOO!

    Hi lizagna, Tryin on dresses is what motivated me to lose weight. lol I had to try on a plus sized 18 and it was snug. :brokenheart: :sick:

    I was originally going to get a big poofy dress but I think once I get to my goal size I might go with a slinky, skinny dress. :wink:

    It was an amazing feeling when I had to have the dress taken in. I felt it in my bank account too. lol
