HI All,
I am getting married in April 07 and just found this site...and LOVE it! I don't have to lose a lot of weight, I just want to tone a little but can use the motivation! 
|
|
|
|
| hi- I just joined tonight- I have joined the gym too- I found that wedding gowns that have halter tops help to narrow the arms and make your neck look longer especially if you are bigger on top like I am :) I am getting married July 22 2007, I have done about every diet out there and I hope this is more of a lifestyle change instead of a diet.
|
|
|
|
| There certainly are a lot of us. I am going to a bridal show next weekend (my first) and I'm hoping that it gets me going.

| Kreativeart, that dress sounds gorgeous! I'm always looking at wedding magazines, choosing A-line or princess dresses that I know will hide my flaws. That's such a negative behavior! So I've been choosing other dresses that will show off my body once I'm in the shape I want. Your dress sounds like one of my favorites! It'll be gorgeous!

Hi I am bride to be of 2007. I am getting married July 14th 2007. I just joined today and really enjoying sparkpeople so far. 
|
|
|
|
I'm getting married July 31st, 2007. My boy is very heavy, and I'm hoping to lead by example so we can both become healthier.
I haven't been on spark very long, but I'm really enjoying it, and I'm starting to see some results, although I'm still having a little trouble staying within my calorie goals.
Hope y'all have a great day!

| KBRANDEN- I'm so with you- I have been on this thing for a couple of months now and I think I've entered everything I have eaten every single day since then (not including when I was on vacation). It is addictive, but maybe in a good way. Like now, when I go to eat something, I'll be like: do I really want to enter this into SP? Keeps me from snacking- I guess being lazy does pay off! :)

No, I totally know what you mean. I am also getting married next spring, and I have been on this site for one week (yay!) and already someone at work today asked me if I'd lost weight! I love having the nutritional guidelines. Before I was so confused. I tried to diet on my own, or by following something I read, but now I realize I was making a million mistakes that were preventing me from seeing any results.

|
| Hello all! I am getting married in April '07 and heard about this site on the knot. Thank god I found this site . . .it has helped so much already and I have only been on three days. Is anyone else a little addicted to entering things on the nutrition and fitness pages, or am I just insane :)?

| KREATIVEART: My dress is a halter top with a trumpet silhouette (I know it sounds kinda weird but it looks vintage 40s-ish)... anyway, I've got sausage arms, so my dress is a motivating factor for me as well :)

Getting married October 20, 2007 in NJ.
i am NOT looking forward to dress shopping. I've been going to the gym regularly, and eating better which I'm proud of. However, I carry my weight pretty evenly over my whole body and this means I have *no waist*. I haven't worn a dress since I was a kid, so this is a very big deal for me.

| Hi my name is Ashley Arce and I'm getting married May 26, 2007! It's really stressful planning for the wedding because we are having it in AZ but live in MD for the time being. (Husband in the military) I'm also a full time student pursing a biology degree. My goal is to reach my weight 3 years ago and to complete a triathalon this year!

| Congratulations everyone! My wedding is set for July 7, 2007. I am very excited about getting in shape for life! It is very important to me to look my absolute best on my special day and I'm on my way! Keep up the good work ladies!

Hi all,
I will be getting married early next year and moving to the States to live. The date will depend on when my graduation falls in Feb, and when my ex decides to give me permission to take the kids out of the country. I am so glad I am getting remarried before him...LOL!!
|

First off: Congratulations! (to all of you)
Secondly: With all of the potential stresses that putting on a wedding can incur, worrying about trying to fit into a gown will only exacerbate that. I applaud you and your fiance's drive to get healthy and using the wedding date as a goal date is a good benchmark. Measuring yourself to fit a gown, to me, is not. So as long as you keep it in perspective, you should be cool!
PS here's my website if you need decorating help.

| Hey, and congrats to everyone on getting married, my fiance haven't set a date yet but we both want to be in perfect shape before we take the plung so we will wait till then! Also to the question about how to post you weight you have to change in you profile I usually do it on my spark page.com that si the only way I know how...anyways good luck to everyone!

Ladies,
Getting healthy and losing the weight is wonderful, but let me say something from my experience.
My advise is to not worry so much about losing "umteen" pounds or inches so you can fit into your wedding dress-my advice is to take it slow, but NOT to make it your focus-maintaining your weight can be just as hard as losing it. Enjoy this time, and enjoy your wedding. No matter what else happens, your wedding day is really ONLY about the committment you two are making to each other. Everything else is just icing on the cake. I'm still a newlywed-I got married in April of 05, and because we didn't get hung up on all that stuff that people get crazy about, our guests are still talking out how much fun they had. And that helps make the best wedding memories.
All the best to you all.

I'm so proud and inspiried to see all you ladies with all these awesome attainable goals! My fiance and I have a wedding date IN MIND, but nothing set in stone...much to my dismay! I can't WAIT to get married and start my own family. But first, the weight loss!
SW: 216
Current Goal: 193/Dec 1

| Hi-This may be a dumb question, but how do you get the weight loss tracker to show up when you post?

| Hello Ladies....I have been married for a year and a half now and wanted to tell you all about the "I'm so in love, and now I'm maried 20 pounds" that I have just gotten rid of....when we got married I was just so in love I cared nothing at all about what I was doing to myself. well,...I just lost the 20 and 25 more!! so he's totally loving it! But, I'm just here to say stay with it after the big day, cause it's really easy to put on that " just got married" weight. Good Luck, and God bless!~~~~~mrsjefferson
