    I'm standing in a wedding on Sept 15th. I would really like to lose 2" around my waist, or 10ish pounds by then. I'm not sure which is more realistic! I'm hypothyroid... so it's a slow process for me to lose.

    My son is getting married the end of October, I would like to lose about 35 pounds by then, we shall see. I don't want to look the way I looked in my daughters wedding pictures from 2 1/2 years ago, I was the very large woman in a sparkly dress, no repeats please! ha!

    yes, my cousin's in august... she's a size 0 so standing next to her ALWAYS makes me feel gross, but i love her and she never holds my size against me or makes me feel weird about it. I'd like to look great in her pictures since i know that's the one thing she's really all about. i have a lot to go, and a lot of arm toning to do!!

    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!!

    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 like this idea. I had a similar one...


    I told my boyfriend that when we get married, he can ride in on his 4 wheeler if we can jump into a mud pit ( still wearing wedding dress/ his dress up clothes because god knows hes not wearing a tux) at the reception. :)

    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!

    we're wedding buddies! :happy:

    ME TOO :):D

    Me three. :) lost about 25 pounds before I got engaged and now trying to fish my goal. Started at 176, now at 150 and hope to be around 140/135 as a final goal weight (regardless of wedding).

    I'm getting married October next year. When my fiancé proposed on Christmas Eve 2011, I was a UK size 22 (US 20) and 258lb.
    I began eating healthier and joined a gym in March this year. Three months later I have lost 25lb and dropped two dress sizes, I am now a UK size 18 (US 16). I do not have a size in mind that I am aiming for, but my goal weight is 175lb, which is a healthy weight for my height - I am 5'10 - in time for our wedding next year. I am not changing my lifestyle purely for my wedding day - although it is a big motivator - I am also motivated by being healthier and a good role model for my eight month old daughter as she grows.

    MY WEDDING IS IN DECEMBER! Yikes! Need to lose at least 60 more lbs!

    Me too! I'm getting married December 21, and my goal is to lose 60 lbs by then.

    *Edit*
    I should also add that I have it planned out into smaller goals:
    August 1st: -15lbs
    September 1st: -25lbs
    October 1st: -40lbs
    November 1st: -50lbs
    December 1st: - 60lbs

    Any extra weight lost between December 1st and the wedding is a nice bonus.

    My wedding is in October 2013, but I am trying to drop as much as possible for when I go dress shopping this November. Ultimately I'd like to be down around 130 for my wedding. I'm 173 right now.

    Any brides-to-be want a fitness buddy, feel free to add me :)
  • i'm getting married october 2013... my goal is 40 lbs by february when i have to order my dress :)

    My Mom and I have been hitting the gym for my upcoming wedding. She wants to lose weight and I want to tone up. Gotta get my beach bod ready for the honeymoon!

    My friend referred me to MFP so I'm giving it a shot and hope to stick with it! I'm getting married December 1, 2012 and would like to lose about 40 pounds. I love my dress and want to have those FOREVER photos!

    June's a popular Month. Our date is set for June 8. I am hoping to lose 40 pounds by then because I want to sport a new bikini on our honeymoon in Mexico with confidence. :)
