Sept 24, 2011 so I have plenty of time. We're having our reception at a Casino and one of my cousins will not turn 21 until Sept 22, 2011 so thats why we picked that day. I also wanted a Sept wedding because we will be getting married outside and I didn't want it too hot or too cold for us or our guests.

This also happens to be the first day of the World Equestrian Games and since I live in Lexington,KY I'm hoping I can get a reception site that's not overpriced. But at least when I go to restaurants around town I can see how many days I have until my wedding because there are countdowns all over town. That's some motivation, huh?

My wedding is Sept 25 2010. My goal is to lose 30lbs and I asked for a personal trainer for Christmas. I have been working with my trainer for 3 weeks now and while I haven't lost any weight yet I am just starting to notice small changes in my body so it is all exciting.

My wedding is August 7th and I am dreading it all. I have been way too stressed, which probably accounts for the negativity. Not to mention I am standing in a wedding on March 27th and April 23rd of this year as well.

KimmyFreedom,
I had a personal trainer two years ago and, not to toot my own horn, I looked great! I am trying to remember the routines he made me do. I do remember free weights and doing bicep curls and push ups...easy to do while watching tv. Also a good one is if you have a sturdy coffee table, doing dips. Sit on the table, fingertips over the edge. Scoot your butt off of the table (that part is just to get ready), supporting your weight with your arms and dip down. Your elbows will be at a 90 degree angle. I tried to explain it the best I could!

I also glanced at your page and we have the same problem. I, too, have intentions on working out then I just do not go thru with it. Or I eat one things that is bad and my day goes down the drain!!! Grrr. Good Luck!

We're planning for Aug. 14. Yikes. Just saying it freaks me out. There's so much left to do!

The fact that the wedding is taking place in my home town while I'm living on literally the other side of the country is also a challenge. Thank goodness for the family I've got doing my diry work back east!

We're getting married August 27th/28th. It depends on how we can stretch our budget... I know Friday weddings are cheaper, so we'll see!

I know it gives me 8 months to lose weight, but it's hard! I'm trying to set up a routine so that way eating right and getting exercise will seem normal and not like such a challenge to fit in or think about.

We're getting married September 17, 2010. We got engaged in January and I'm very excited. I can't remember being this motivated to do something in a very long time. I'm dedicated to shedding these pounds and not being a fat bride!

My date is August 21st, 2010. We just got engaged a few weeks ago and I am so excited! We've started the planning stage and my first goal is to hit 154 before I go dress shopping sometime in the next two months. It's not too much to lose, but I lose very slowly and have a hard time doing it.

I joined this site at the beginning of the summer and then a crisis at work took up all my time.Now that I've got a life again I want to get the ball rolling. I know Dan thinks I'm beautiful the way I am, but I won't see him for a couple months before the wedding and I want to knock his socks off!

Hello. My Wedding Date is 9-18-2010! We have started the planning and i have purchased my dress which i absolutly love- We had it ordered and it has finally arrived. We got a size smaller then i was at the time bc of losing weight and being committed to doing so. If i am smaller then the size i ordered we can have it taken in 2 sizes so i will be good to go. I have been doing this lifestyle change since july and have lost 41 lbs so far. Id like to be down to goal weight of 145-150 by 1/1/2010. I have a huge group of supporters and also love supporting people as well so those of you needed supporters and someone to push you please contact me!! Good Luck!!

I'm getting married on 8/21/10. I've already done alot of planning...but I'm having such a difficult time losing weight. In fact, since purchasing my dress 1 month ago, I've gained 7 lbs. I really need help, support and inspiration. I want to lose weight for my big day, but also want to change my lifestyle so that I accomplish my weight loss goal and keep it off. Help me!

Hi fellow Brides to Be!

My date is set for Aug. 28, 2010 and I'm already in the thick of planning things. I'm down 10 lbs in the last 5 weeks, so I'm hoping to continue that trend so that when I start trying on dresses in January (I won't put myself through the stress of Bridal Boutique visits right now - lol) it will be a more pleasant experience than my trips there last year as a Bridesmaid.


Looking forward to gleaning some great advice & tips here!

OK we are in the same boat my wedding is set for September 18, 2010. We have the reception hall and the church and the dress, which can be altered to a smaller size if needed. Now all I need to do is lose the weight. Trying to eat right and exercise, but I am motivated and new to this site so I hope that it helps motivate me as well

We picked 9/20/09. The final 19 days are here. Dress is picked out. His suit is hemmed and ready to go. The seamstress has mine and is "taking it in"!!!! Our son has his shirt, just need to get him the shorts/pants. The cake is ordered and will be delivered during our ceremony. We picked a beautiful outdoors place on top of a mountain here. (it wasn't expensive either) ummm, reception is at our home with potluck and Charger game.

The only real thing I need to do is remember to bring money for the pastor doing the service and the paperwork for him to sign saying we are legal!!!

Hello Brides to Be- I am one myself.. my wedding date is Sept 25, 2010. I can not wait! I can't wait to lose some weight, too! I really hope I can do it. I'm a little nervous b/c Oct 2 of this year I am going wedding dress shopping! ahh, I don't want to be a "big" bride! This wedding stuff is really pushing me to lose weight by really watching what I eat and exercising! Yuck- hate that word! But Weddings are so fun and good luck to all the girls who are getting married this year! ahh next month! Have Fun! :-)

I'm getting married September 19th! Things have been so crazy I might have spent a little less time on the treadmill and more time with the comfort food. :) I'm not quite in the shape I hoped I would be for the wedding. But I know he loves me for me and that it's never too late to get back on the wagon.

congrats everyone!
I am getting married sept 24th. in vegas. still have to book the chapel.. oops!
and i am not looking for a dress till the 1st week in sept. i am hopeing to lose more weight. i started this round June 10th. and about the 13th my fiance decided we should just go to vegas! i agreed! and we booked the trip for sept... if i realized the pace of my weight loss i would have booked in november i think! i am disapointed but its coming off in a normal manner but of course i want the 5 pound mark every week! lol not happening.
anyway.. can NOT look at a dress now. so i hope i can get down another 10 to 15 by the time i look.
my fiance loves me no matter what. but pics dont. guess i am just not wanting a glaring reminder of how unfit i've gotten in every pic of the "happiest" day. ya know?
i like the contouring idea fernburn04. thanks. i have played with makeup but definatly NOT something i do everyday. i will remember that!

thanks!!

I'm new to the Spark pages, and my wedding is September 6th. I thought I was doing well losing weight until I tried my dress on and it doesn't zip. That sent me into an emotional frenzy, but a huge wake up call. I'd love to hear how everyone else is staying on track and dealing with the stress.

I'm September 19th too! 09/19/09 - just sounds so good! I won't be done losing weight and getting fit by then, but it doesn't matter. I'm doing this for me, and John has loved me in worse shape than I am in now. In fact, I'm in the best shape of our relationship; better than when he fell in love with me, better than when he asked me to marry him. He loves me for me, not for a size on a tag on a dress, and that's really comforting.

OUr wedding day is september 26, less than 2 months! I am really trying to work my hardest to look and feel my best. I want to treasure this day but I do wish it would come and go already. Too much family drama happenening it makes me so sad. I just keep reminding myself that on that day NO ONE else matters but he and I. Its going to be our perfect day and I won't let anyone bring me down, not even my mother.

My date is August 28th, and I'm in almost exactly the same boat as the last poster with my dress- I ordered mine from the internet, with an inch added to each of my measurements, figuring that would give me lots of leeway. Nope! When I got it, the zipper in the back was three inches away from closing.
Now it's two inches from closing, and I'm down seven pounds!
I just hope that 45 days is enough time for that next two inches!
