Hello all! I got engaged on Dec. 16th and would like to lose about 25 pounds before the wedding and if I do that then I'd like to lose 12 more. I'm hoping to lose the first 25 by April b/c that's when we're planning on having our engagement pictures done. Our wedding isn't until the fall of 2008. I wish you all the best of luck in losing this weight. I am on board and hopefully we can do it together!!

Congrats on your engagement! I've only been on SP for a few days now, but I really think that it is going to help me out. 213 days to go!

My FI and I actually set the wedding date (or more like picked it out) like 2 months into dating. We both said that it would be really nice to get married on August 4, 2007, because it would be on one of our anniversaries. We then were thinking maybe 2008 would be better, but then finally decided that we couldn't wait that long! Then he asked me to marry him in October of last year and all of our vendors happened to be available for August 4th. Yay!

My wedding is in May 2007. I set my date about 2 days after being engaged. He didn't want me putting it off like my friends. I have a friend who has been engaged 8 years. Anyways I just got motivated to try to tone up and lose about 15 lbs. Good luck to eveyone.

I think that setting the date will be a great motivator. Especially if you're a procrastinator like me!

I felt the same way. We've been dating 8 years, and I moved in with him the day after we met, so we've been living together 8 years as well. We have a 3-year-old daughter, and that contributed to my weight problem in a big way. He's been asking me for YEARS to set a date, but I kept putting it off to lose weight. Well, just a few days ago, we made it official, and set a date! Yikes. It's almost a year away. That's plenty of time to lose the rest of the weight. Looking at wedding dresses is sooooo motivating!

I set mine out for a year in advance but so far it hasn't helped motivate me yet. I'm thinking once I"m closer to the date I'll feel the pressure and get off my butt.

Hi I have been engaged for a while now, but I don't want to set a date until I lose weight. I want to look great on my wedding day and not a big bride.
