June 2nd here! I can't wait...it's finally real! I'm a teacher and during this holiday time with the kids...the sweets keep pouring in. I need this site to help me NOT eat all the chocolate bunnies!! AHH

|
| 78.5 more days until my wedding....thats 11 weeks and 1.5 days!!! I'm excited because I'm marrying the love of my life...but I'm also kinda nervous because the changes haven't happened like I wanted it to. Course, I think I'm a bit impatient too...lol I'm really trying hard and going to stay on track....I'm a stubborn woman too lol

| I've got my stair stepper in the livingroom. So when I watch TV I can do it from the stair stepper instead of the couch. I've not really noticed any changes yet but hopefully I will soon so that it motivates me to do more. Exercising outside here where I live is soon going to be impossible...I live in the desert and it gets hot hot hot!!! I keep my dress visible to keep me motivated. I hope I can go from 144 to 130 by June 9th...I just keep telling myself I can...

| June 23rd rocks! Congrats MrsNorman2B! It's hard putting down the chocolate. I'm a self-proclaimed addict, myself. I don't deprive myself, however. I may have one or two hershey kisses a day, but that's it. Good luck with the exercising. I am going to try the bride to be challenge starting tomorrow...try that. I hate not being able to run outside either...it's snowing as I speak right now too. Spring cannot come fast enough!

I am getting married June 23 also. I live in Indiana so working out outdoors this time of year is impossible. I have been doing a workout video called Your Personal Best Workout with Karen Voight and Elle Macpherson. It is a little bit dated (1995) and some of the things Elle says are really cheesy, but the workout is great. It alternates between 3 cardio intervals and 3 strength-training intervals. The steps are VERY easy to learn and I have seen a difference in my body after doing this workout 3 days a week and an easier workout 2 days a week. I haven't lost any pounds yet but my clothes are getting better and I got my first weight-loss compliment last week!!

| Congrats Bubbletoes! I ordered my dress in May of 2006...it took 8 months to come in! I'm sure you will find a dress this close to June, though. I think the most important thing I'm trying to remember among all the stress of planning and dieting and all this between work and family is getting quality sleep! Even though June is almost 3 months away, it seems as though it's like next week. Time flies!

| I'm getting married on June 21 with a reception on June 23. Remember when June seemed so far away? Now everyone needs deposits. I went to try on dresses a few weeks ago and they were all like, "June this year?!? I think we'll make it." If I can't get a dress in 4 months there is something REALLY wrong with this system. (I ended up picking out a dress that was discontinued so I got to walk out with it, so happy!!) Now I'm just determined to lose a couple of inches in my hips so it doesn't need to be altered!

| I'm getting married JUNE 23rd! I can't wait, but I have 20 pounds to lose by then. I haven't lost any and it's been tough getting motivated. I just keep trying to picture a slimmer self in Hawaii and on my wedding day in florida. Any suggestions on how else to stay motivated? Keeping a food journal is helping...what else can I do?

|
|
| I'm getting married June 9th in Las Vegas. I'm hoping I can lose up to my goal weight by then but I would be happy if I got most of the way there...

| I'm getting married June 2. I am not only working within a small tight budget (we have to pay for everything ourselves) I am also the one planning the whole thing. But with any luck all I will have left after tomorrow will be getting my dress and the guys tuxes.

| I am getting married June 16th. I am eagerly trying to get back on track because I have fallen off the wagon. I could stand to lose about 20+ pounds before the wedding and could really use the encouragment.

Hey:)
I am getting married on June 2nd! I don't have any cool picture for you guys, but just picture a chubby girl with a big ring! Just kidding... well sort of! My wedding is going to be about an hour south of Buffalo (I saw some or your posts) I live in FL so I am planning from a ways away. I got a lot done around Christmas time when I was home! Good luck with all of your planning. It is quite fun!!!!

| To be honest with you I cannot remember how I set it up. I think I went to the Spark Pages tab and set it up that way. I had the same mentality of there is so much time and now I am freaking out! Do you have any tips? How far do you have to go? I know I wont reach my goal now but I want to get as close to it as I can.

yeah the holiday's ruined me as well :( i had the mentality oh well there are still so many months left...well its the end of feb, i started losing, but i'm nowhere near where i want to be...how do you get your progress to show up at the bottom of your post?
|
|
|
|
| I have the same problem. I do pretty good during the week and not so great on the weekends. My fiance and I just gave up ice cream and candy for lent. Ice cream is our weakness. I hope this will help me get on track. I have been trying to change my diet since November but with Christmas that didnt go too well. But now it's crunch time and it is time to be more focused than ever.

I'm getting married June 23 2007--- exactly a year and a day after I got engaged! I am so excited but it seems like everything is comming up fast. I have been a real slacker lately because I have been working (intern everyday M-Th) and class Fri. Work Fri-Sun at least 2days. So, I have about 4 months, anytips from anyone on getting me back on target? Also, it is cold where I live so any at home indoor suggestions would be awesome! Please let me know!
Oh and congrats to all my fellow June Brides... oh and grooms too!

| Hello All! I am getting married June 9th or 10th (date will be decided within the next few days)!! We have been together over 7 years and have two children..we have just been waiting to be able to afford our wedding...we didn't want to run down to the courthouse. SO ITS FINALLY HAPPENING AND WE ARE SO EXCITED! But omg I understand now why women turn into bridezillas!! It is so stressful trying to make it all work out...especially with a budget. But I have gotten a few ideas off here to lower the cost. We are picking out the venue this week. We have been narrowing them down. It has to be done this week though because I bet anything right after Valentines Day, all of those places will be gone! Well just wanted to say hi to my fellow June Brides! Have a great day!

The rec center here is amazing! Hope this finds you well!

Hey, Tina!
Gees, we sound alike! I get married June 23rd, am a full time Master's student, am an instructor for 2 undergrad classes, am tutoring student-athletes 19 hours a week, am working on preparing for my comprehensive exam in March, am looking for a full-time job, and am wedding planning/trying to lose weight!
i think we need to be friends. :)
what i have found has worked for me (so far) is that i make eating healthy and working out complement my busy schedule. in other words, it makes my life easier to manage because i am doing it. because i am always busy, there is less time to waste thinking about how i want to get that #4 at Taco Bell. with the whole working out thing, i think of it as an exit from all of my stressful daily activities, rather than thinking about it as another hectic activity that i have to do.
what program are you in and where? what are your weight loss goals? how long have you been a sparkmember and what's your current progress?
anyway, i would love to help you! you could keep me motivated; i could do you the same! and we can complain about grad. school!
good luck and i look forward to hearing from you!

Another June 23rd bride here! The days are just passing by so quickly! I already ordered my dress, but I'm hoping that I will have to alter it down a size or 2 when it comes in. *wishful thinking* I already lost over 40 lbs before joining this site, so here's to hopefully losing even more these next couple of months!
