    I'm going to be in my brothers, Exactly 1 year from today. I want to be at goal by then, ideally at goal, then a bulk and cut cycle before. But at least at goal :)

    I'm getting married June 2, 2013, so I'm hoping to be at least NEAR my goal by then... I'm not going to be upset if I'm not as I am taking this slow, one day at a time, but it'd be nice :)

    my main goal is to get my arms toned...I don't mind being slightly heavyset in the waist/butt/thighs, but my neck has already slimmed down, I REALLY want my arms to stop waving when I do by then :laugh:

    My wedding is in October 2012. I need to lose a bit, bulk a bit and just stop my gut from stretching the cummerbund.

    I'm getting married in June 2013. I have about 20lb left to go. I need my wobbly arms to make themselves scarce by then too!

    My best friend's getting married in August. Hoping to lose 10 more pounds by then or at least tone up the stomach area and hips.

    I have a little under 2 years, so I'd say I should be well at my goal by then! My general goal is about 125-130, but I'd love to be maybe 112-115 on the day. :D

    I'm in one in August and one in September. I'm trying to lose as much as I can (anything is an improvement!). My only wish was that I cared about my weight BEFORE my own wedding...so I have a love/hate relationship with those pictures. :/

    I'm getting married October 2013 and my best friend is June 2013 (so in 1 year!).

    I wanna hit my goal by my best friend's wedding then spend the remaining time focusing more on strength training and getting nice and toned for my big day.

    I'm already married but I'm actually trying to lose enough weight to fit into my wedding dress again by our 8th anniversary in November. I want to do a trash the dress photo session with my hubby if I can fit in the dress! So I feel like i'm trying to lose weight for a wedding all over again lol

    Congrats to everyone getting ready to tie the knot!!

    I'm getting married in just over 6 weeks. Don't really need to lose anymore am happy with my size, but it's a strapless dress, so I'm seriously working on those shoulders and arms at the moment!

    What is "trash the dress"? I'm not familiar with this concept. :)

    Trash the Dress is a really fun style of photoshoot that couples often do on their anniversary. Basically it means you wear your wedding dress in an informal environment for a fun (and sometimes messy) photo shoot (assuming you aren't going to pass your dress along or sell it). If you do an google image search there are lots of really cool pics.

    Here's a couple examples

    I'm getting married this October. I'm hoping to lose 20 more by then and be at my lowest adult weight. Ultimately I'd like to lose another 15-20 after that...maybe more.

    I just got married in May and lost 20 pounds and 4 inches before my wedding. It took me a year to make the transformation, note that my inches moved in more than my weight dropped. My body fat dropped 5% from the time I started, so I put on a fair bit of muscle during the year.

    Life gets really crazy close to the wedding, lots of parties and running around. If you get your routine set you can mitigate some of the damage.

    I've just gotten back into my routine and look forward to dropping another 3% body fat by the end of the year.

    My wedding is 2 months from today, 61 days...I wanted to lose about 50 lbs by it and I'm at 42.5 so I'm pretty much on track. Started in March. If I can drop another 10lbs by my fitting in a month I'll be really happy but even if I don't, at this point I'm close enough to goal where it doesn't make a huge difference. I'm working on toning my arms and shoulders/back now, strapless dress!

    My ticker doesn't reflect my total weight loss which is 97 lbs, just what I've lost since joining MFP in March.

    Congrats on everyone's weight losses and weddings coming up!

    I am walking my daughter down the aisle on September 8th. I want to lose at least 10 pounds before then but would love to lose more. The dress she picked for me is strapless and form fitting so I want to do her proud.

    I'm MOH for one in October D: I'm hoping to at least lose 30 pounds by then, it's not my complete weight loss goal but in the little time frame I have left I think it's doable...It's scary!

    I'm in a wedding on August 17, 2012 and then I have my wedding August 24, 2013. I wanted to be at 170 by the wedding this summer but am stuck at 180... will try to get down as close to that as possible by August 17th but with summer and a new puppy, it's a lot harder to do. Then for my wedding i want to get down to 155-160!!

    I'm 27 and am 5'10!! I'm terrified to try on dresses because i'm scared they won't look good... Just need to get under 180 and hopefully that'll give me the boost I need.

    Add me if you want to have a wedding support group :)
