Hey everyone! I'm new to MFP - only been using the app for about a week - but I'm already finding it to be really easy to use and motivating. Would love to connect with some more brides-to-be....getting married in September and just ordered my dress in a half size smaller with the goal of more getting fit and healthy before I walk down the aisle! Would love to connect and share tips and motivation so we all feel fantastic in those wedding pics! :o)

    I already bought my dress and had the altereations done. Good thing it's a corset, just in case I lose more weight by my wedding July 21 :). I'm sure you'll need to take the dress in lots since you seem super motivated. Any ideas you may need or have, just let us know.

    Cheers:happy:

    I am getting married in September too and am also feeling motivated from MFP. I have my one-and-only fitting in early August so not only do I have to lose the weight but i have to maintain it for a month after. I'd love to connect/share as well!

    I am getting married in September also!! Would love to connect with more people trying to reach similar goals. I've lost 12 pounds since I started - I started really focusing in February - and have about 7 more pounds to go. Need to lose all of my weight by late August - I set my goal of Aug. 27 for my final fitting! Would love to connect with anyone who wants more support :)

    Congratulations! I am getting married the day after you ;) I am looking for a life change. My goal is to work out 4 days a week and eat healthy. I ordered a mermaid dress and it is fitting, so my biggest concern is my stomach. I want to tone it. Seams as though my stomach is stubborn. I am not too worried about anything else as I am 5'11 which helps for me :)

    Hope the dress fitting went well! I went for mine a couple of weeks ago after losing 12 pounds and the dress was so big on me!! Let us know how it went :)

    Lots of us on Sept 29th! Ours is a little backyard wedding. I still don't have my dress! I'm scared to order too small, and can't afford a dress *and* alterations. What's a fat girl to do?

    Any other September brides feeling the crunch??

    Also - if you're getting married in September, when is your last dress fitting scheduled for? For some reason, because of the make of my dress, I can only have one set of alterations... I'm getting married on September 8th, and the fitting is scheduled for August 11th.. I'm fretting a bit because a lot can happen in a month (hopefully in my favor, i.e. 4-5 lb weight loss), and I'm afraid that my dress won't be as snug as it should be. I want to reschedule so that the appointment is closer to the wedding date... but I'm curious to hear what everyone else is doing?

    I'd love to lose 7-10 more lbs by the big day!

    Hi, I'm getting married on 15th Sept and my dress fitting is scheduled for 27th July (which is apparently pretty standard according to the bridal shop I'm using). So I'm doing a fortnight of seriously sticking to the plan in the hope that I'll be close to my goal by then (I want to lose another 7lbs, so I thought I could manage at least half of that by my fitting). Then i just need to maintain it until the big day. I'm not sure what they do if you lose a little extra, but I don't think you can lose loads more between the fitting and the big day because final alterations are very minor. I'll see what the situation is at my fitting and post on here after to let you know.
