    I'm also losing weight for my wedding, although I have a bit less time to prepare than the two October brides and the September bride. Initially my wedding was October 20 but we decided we didn't want to wait that long to get married so now we're getting married on August 11 - less than 90 days away!

    How much weight are all the brides trying to/planning on losing??

    Oh yeah, I plan on keeping the weight off and continuing to lose/tone post-wedding I am just using my wedding as a short term motivator to keep myself going.

    I am a big fan of green tea of any sort, particularly Lipton's Superfruit green teas. Mhmm so good!

    And coffee. I love coffee.

    Congratulations to all the brides! Know that you don't diet alone. MOBs and MOGs diet too. My son's wedding is the Saturday after next and I'm 6 pounds from where I want to be on that day. Don't think I'm gonna make it, but I should be close. Best of luck to all who are losing to look fabulous as they make that big walk down the isle!

    Hi...I am trying to lose and tone as the mother-of-the-bride. My daughter , her fiance and myself are all focusing on losing and toning...my daughter is not needing to lose but wants to keep where she is as they altered her dress quite tight at the waist. My future son-in-law has lost around 40 pounds and I am down about 12....it is such a great goal and has inspired us all to be healthier and the great thing is that because we started a few months ago and the wedding isn't until Sept 2 , we are actually changing our lives in the long run, something we can keep at after the wedding as well..I wish all you beautiful brides success and much happiness!

    MOG here. Wedding is Friday evening, 05/18. Joined mid-December 2011 and have lost 20 lbs. Bride, groom, sister, niece, MOB, etc. have all joined as well and were the reason I first became aware of this fabulous site.

    Shopping for a dress was much more enjoyable than I expected, since most of the dresses I tried on actually fit! (Except for the cleavage factor--but that's another story, as I've had a problem in that area since high school.)

    I'm definitely not done yet, because my goal of losing 25 lbs. was just my first goal. I want to become more fit and strong through exercise and if a few more pounds fall off in the process, that will be a good thing.

    Yup, got engaged October as an obese person. Now, I'm a normal bmi. Wedding is in April 2013. I want to tone up and be a fit as possible so we can both start the next chapter in our lives fit, happy, and healthy!

    Not to be the big downer in this thread... but what are you all going to do after you get married?

    You shouldn't be dieting, you should be changing your habits... it shouldn't be short term thing, but rather a lifestyle change.

    Not for <i>my</i> wedding, but for my brother's. He and my darling SIL-to-be (who is on here as well) are getting married on 4 August.
    Oh, my Mom just joined, too, so hopefully we will be able to all motivate each other.

    Congratulations! I am getting married December 8th. I am pretty much down to where I would like to be. I started my journey close to 3 years ago. I am a few pounds shy of my goal weight and am fluctuating a bit, but I believe it's because I'm building up more muscle. I'm trying to maintain until the wedding and I keep this lifestyle up so that I can stay healthier even after the wedding and hopefully for when we start expanding the family.

    Add me as a friend for support if you'd like. Congratulations again!!

    You shouldn't be dieting, you should be changing your habits... it shouldn't be short term thing, but rather a lifestyle change.

    I'm not dieting. Losing weight, yes. Eating healthier, yes. Working out more consistently, yes. Making healthy swaps in recipes I love, yes. Dieting, no. Cutting out every "junk" food, no. Cutting out beer/alcohol, no. Just limiting those things to a more reasonable level.

    Edit: just wanted to say I don't mean to sound snarky or witchy - just wanted to point out that although a lot of us have a short-term goal in mind (i.e. our weddings) doesn't necessarily mean that after the wedding we're just going to throw our hands in the air and say "woo-hoo I made it, going right back to how I was before!!!"

    I should also point out that although I know this is how I feel others may not necessarily feel the same. I've known and struggled with my weight for a long time. Having my wedding approach was the push I needed to make realistic changes.

    Okay, done rambling! :smile:

    Another bride to be here! :) We haven't settled on a date quite yet but I'm hoping for April 27th of next year. (He proposed april 37th :D)

    I've just recently "restarted" and am down 8 lbs in 4 weeks through eating better and limiting junk. My house has been crazy but I'll be exercising a lot more starting next week. I still have 80-90 lbs to go so i have a long journey ahead of me. But i hope to completely change my lifestyle and habits along the way so i can continue with a healthy life. :)

    Feel free to add me ladies.
