| Holly your definitely right about the height and weight combination. I think that's why I've opted to drop down to 154, 160 th3 high side. Not because I think it's the optimum weight but that's the optimum weight for me. But if I get to size back to a size eight dress before I hit that weight then I'll be more than happy. I know I'm extremely unhappy at my current weight which is the heaviest and most uncomfortable I've ever been.

Hey girls,
I am reading thru the posts and while i still have over a year i have approx 40 lbs to lose, I have fallen off the wagon more than once but i am still determine, I did like the comment made about having goal measurements instead of a wt. I just have one comment to make. As i was looking at some peoples goals I am amazed to see what some people want to lose, and while i don't know how tall some are i just want to remind everyone that setting a goal for wt loss should be realistic. I mean when i graduated high school i was 120 lbs, and sure i would love to be that wt. again but i know if i set that for myself i probably wont make it, as we get older we gain more wt. and that isn't a bad thing, just a reminder for everyone!

| I'm trying to lose my weight well before my wedding, I don't want to get married wearing size 14. My goal is to get back into my size 8. I want to start my life with my future husband as the real me not the fat one I'm currently showing everyone.

My wedding is 10 months away and I am not necessarily scared of not meeting a goal by the wedding, but scared that I'll give up before then. I don't care if I only lose half my goal before the wedding as long as I maintain my eating/exercise schedule and continue making progress.
I agree with a previous poster about getting your fiance involved...We meet at the gym every day after work. He is so excited about finding healthy new recipes. Definitely get your future hubby involved!
We are all going to be beautiful brides!

Hello all!
I am getting married June 20th of next year and have just shy of 11 months to get toned up. I'm not so concerned about my weight as I am getting in shape. I know that the pounds will come off as I get more exercise in. I'm more focused on toning my arms and back (my dress will either be a halter or strapless) and I know I have plenty of time to do it.
Stay with it brides and grooms to-be!!!!

| Hi all! I'm new to the board! I'm a healthy weight, but I want to tone up before the wedding (I've lost my tight muscles since high school). I stopped running when I got to college, but I'm starting to run again. I'm getting married in 11 months, and my main goal is to tighten up my legs. Whoo hoo beautiful calves!

| my wedding is in two days my goal weight was 145. as of today I weighed in at 147, which I guess is as close as I will get to my goal. But I'm happy with it I have lost 3 inches off my waist and 2 inches of each thigh and 2.5 inches off my hips, so its not always about just the pounds.

I think my plan is to get married in early-to-mid August of 2009. I've been crazy with school stuff since he proposed a few weeks ago, so I haven't gotten a chance to go all out with planning, except collecting old bridal magazines from people.
I got this strange idea that I'd love to lose weight for the wedding. Specifically, about 45 pounds. I know it's doable over the course of a year, even at a modest rate of weight loss. The weirdest thing is that I'm so used to being larger, and losing that much weight would put me around 140. I haven't been 140 since, oh, 5th grade. So the THOUGHT of being more towards the slender range is just crazy to me. I decided that I needed goals, so I'm training for a 5k at the end of September. All of the healthiest people I know seem to be runners, so I figure, why not, might as well try. I also am trying to keep track of measurements, since I'm working on strength training as well.

Hey all you beautiful brides!
Time seems to be moving at an exponential rate!
My wedding is now only 6 and a half months away, and the last alterations on my dress have to be done by the beginning of January, so that's even less time, and i still have 55 lbs to lose!
Have been eating at the bottom of my calorie range (1200-1550)for the last couple of weeks, and am losing average of 1.5 - 2 lbs a week, but i still don't think i'll reach goal in time, at least i don't think weight wise, am hoping that i do measurement wise so that my dress isn't too big for me on the day!!
You can do it!! You're all doing so great!! WooHoo

| I've got about 16 pounds to lose before my wedding in Oct. unfortunatly I already had to buy my dress. I'm not worried yet as I haven't gotten measured for the alterations yet. My advice get your fiance involved in your exercise and eating. My fiance is my biggest cheerleader! Since I started on this website 2 weeks ago i've already lost 3 lbs. The most important thing is lose the weight and get healthy for yourself it has taken me quite to figure out this is the only way I will succeed.

I do not have a goal weight. I have goal measurements. Weight is a really bad indicator of your fitness. When I first started working out, I had put on more weight then when I started (in muscle) but I dropped a complete dress size. That is when I switched to the measurement goals. My wedding is in September of next year (yeah, I know it is more then a year from now, but that is how it had to work out) I have already found my dress, unfortunately, the designer seems to think that nobody should be bigger then a size 14. I was an 18 when I found it. I got the measurements for the dress from the designer and those are my goal. Decide where you want to be and what you want to look like and go that route. Weight is only the pull of the earth, now measurements, they're all mine. Good Luck all you Beautiful Brides!

| I have 19 more pounds to go in 3 1/2 months, and I know I can do it, however, I'm not sure anymore if I want to do it. I want to lose a little more weight, but I think 19 more lbs might be too much. I don't want to look sick. Plus, I'm having my dress made, and once she starts on the corset top I can't lose anymore weight because she'll have to start over on it. I want to lose 9 more pounds by the time she starts making the corset next month. I know I can do it!

| I hear you. I've gained back so much weight, that if I were to only lose 1 pound a week, with no glitches, I'd reach my goal weight just a couple of weeks before the wedding. Which doesn't work, because I have to buy my dress much sooner than that. Therefore, I'm just going to keep doing what I'm doing, and probably buy a dress when I'm closer to my goal weight but not already there....as long as you feel sexy and beautiful on your wedding day, it doesn't matter what number you are! I know that when I workout regularly and eat well it instantly makes me feel great.

| I too have about 10 months to go and I am nervous. I know it's only like 5-7 lbs per month, and it's doable but still. I just don't wanna look the way I do now at my wedding or ever again!!! I am so not healthy, and I just keep telling myself that each day I am makign strides to do better. I mean today I did like 50 min of excercise in the morning before work and I feel really strong, ya know? So as long as I keep working out and doing better with my eating I know I will be fine, but still. It's such a big day, ya know?

| This topic just summarized everything that I have been feeling! I am so nervous about not hitting my goal by my wedding! I have about 11 months to go, and about 40 lbs. I know that it is doable, but I am so nervous! I have been trying really hard to stick to my diet and exercise, but I'm still a little nervous.

| I'm getting nervous about that myself. My wedding is 4 months from today (EEK) and I'm still about 20 pounds away from my goal. I have recently stepped it up and started working out more and really focusing on my eating, but I feel like its not enough. Just stay focused and you'll be beautiful on your wedding day!

| I'm right in that boat with ya, Sista! I've tried so hard to lose the last 15 pounds but I've come to terms that I might not make it. It doesn't mean that I say to hell with it & stop working out or eating decent. It's just that I don't want to make my wedding day a mental disappointment because I didn't hit that goal weight. I just remind myself that I've come a long way already & that's something I should be proud of, not ashamed because I didn't make it further. Regardless of what may happen, it's not my weight that matters....it's the fact that I'm incredibly in love with a wonderful man & I can't wait to enjoy married life with him.

Is anyone nervous about not reaching their goal weight for their wedding day? I'm getting married in 10 months and I'm terrified of not reaching my goal, or at least coming close to it. I'm trying really hard, working out 6 days a week but i still get discouraged and frustrated when i don't see good results cuz i feel like every week is crucial. Maybe i just need some encouragement
