Hi Everyone! :happy:

I started this group so us 2013 brides to be can stick together to tone up, shed some weight but most of all stay MOTIVATED! With everything else going on, it is kind of tough! With all of the tastings and parties and everything it is very hard to say- no I really don't want that ice cream on this hot summer day! So I wish all of you guys luck and hope to meet some great people along the way!

Wedding: January 2013
Goal: -30

    Hi Jackie!

    My journey has started today :) I have lots to lose and my big day is 14th September 2013. I'm already a gym bunny, love my classes and have been going lots since Jan but food/diet and silly shift work is my problem.

    Good luck Xxx

    November 2, 2013. Looking to drop 30 or so before the big day. I've been sidetracked for the last 8 days with some back pain. Today is day 3 without any pain, so I'm back on my game. 25 to go!

    Hi everyone! My name is Trisha and I am getting married on June 8, 2013. My dress is already ordered and I would like to lose at least 20 lbs before the wedding. I have used myfitnesspal before and have had success but then I fall off the wagon with everything going on. Hopefully this wedding can give me the motivation I need :smile:

    Hi

    i'm deanna my big day is May 24, 2013. I just joined this week. I have lost about 75lbs a few years ago with weight watchers. i have since moved away from all my family and friends to be with my fiance. Originally from CT now living in Myrtle Beach. I have gained back about 30lb of my weight and have had enough. We get constant visitors all summer long so we are alway out eating and drinking....its killing me.

    Starting out slowly but all the guests will be gone in 2 days and we are not expecting anyone else for a few more weeks.....

    Its now or never!!!!!! Hoping to take off the 30lb by May!!!!!!

    so glad to find this group!!!!!

    Hello everyone!! I came across this group because the time is getting closer and closer, need some more accountability.

    I can help you and you can help me :)

    Let's be the best looking Brides we can be

    My fiance and I are getting married on Sept, 14, 2013 in Ontario, Canada


    Since April 2010 I have lost 30 lbs.. but over the past few months I have seemed to gained 5 or 10 lbs back, The summer is a difficult time with parties, but the winter isnt going to get easier. And I will have to stay strong all next summer since I have a September wedding. Time to get serious for the next 13 months (and after of course)

    Hi Everyone! My name is Kelly and I'm getting married on May 4, 2013 - so in just under 9 months! I've already bought my dress, so now my goal is to shed a few more pounds and hopefully get it altered to be smaller than when I bought it!

    I'm looking forward to seeing everyone's successes!! :)
  • Hello ladies! I'm not even officially engaged but my boyfriend and I have been together over 3 years, we have been ring shopping and he got my moms original diamond and is doing a custom ring :) my boyfriend has already said he wants us to get married next summer so guess I better get a head start. Also I'm a kidney transplant donor for my uncle this October so I'm trying to take better care of my body so it's easier to bounce back. I already lost 15 lbs to get into a healthier weight range for the surgery. So I will be keeping you all up to date on everything going on.

  • Hi Ladies!

    My name is Courtney and I have been on MFP for a little while but just in the last month or so started really using it. I was on Weight Watchers since January and we doing really well but then I hit a point where I wasn't losing any more weight and actually started gaining so I figured it was time to change it up and start counting calories! I love it! I'm actually enjoying hitting up the gym and working out with my fiance. I'm down about 16 lbs in the last month or so, I'm pretty happy with that and hope to keep losing more! I'm so happy to have all you ladies here for motivation and support!

    mini goal: 50 Lbs by Christmas
    wedding goal: 100 lbs
    wedding date: July 27, 2013

  • So I'm not a 2013 but getting married in Oct. of this year. Eeek! I have lost 11lbs and would like to lose 15 to 20 more but would be happy with just 10 before the wedding. Just had my dress alterations started so can't lose too much more. Plus FH keeps telling me I am running out of my bum. lol

    Congratulations Everyone!

    January 12th in Austin, Texas

    4 MORE MONTHS!!! I've been engaged for almost 2 years now so this has been dragging out for way too long. :)


    I have tons of health issues because of my diet or lack thereof so I joined not exactly to lose weight but to have a log and monitor what I eat and report it back to people.
