Jessicarg,
You can do the challenge that I am doing my team had set a goal of walking 400 miles in four weeks well we missed it by 5.07 miles we walked a total of 394.93 miles for the four weeks. now we are doing an individual challenge to see how far we can walk in a month. Everyone can join it. I am doing it through my work health program. I want to get down to at least 155 and I started at 203 I am now at 192.
Well I hope everyone has a good day and has a nice weekend if I don't get to get on here this weekend.

I am getting married Sept 8th. I would like to lose about 18 lbs before the wedding. Then I will at least be at the weight I met my hubby. My total is goal is to be down to 160 (150 would be nice).
My wedding dress just got here yesterday, but I haven't gone to try it on yet. It has a lace up back, so I have a little leeway as far as losing a little weight is concerned. Hopefully it fits, i have lost about 8 lbs since i bought it.
It is crunch time! Anyone want to make suggest a challenge for us September Brides. It is summer, we could join on the walking Challenge that Tess68 is doing?
Great job everyone and goodluck!

| Well here is an update on me. We finished the four week walking challenge on June 2nd. I went to the doctor and I have found out that since February I have lost 17 lbs. I am half way to the weight that I want to be when I get married on September 28th. I am continuing with the walking challenge at work now we are doing a monthly individual challenge so I am working on that and will see how it goes from now on. I hope everyone has a good day today.

| I'm getting married September 1st as well! And its crunch time (literally) I also want to lose about that much before then, but I've already staked out my emergency alteration shop in case I do lose too much to fit into it well. (it should arrive Aug 19) so we shall see! Yay! Congrats to you as well!

| Congratulations to everybody! Only about 3 to 4 months remaining (depends on how you look at it). I just wanted to wish everyone the best. I hope you have the best ceremony, the best music, the best reception, the best dress (and best fitting ... lol), the best celebration next to those you love, and the best future together with your future husband. I wish you all love, peace, and happiness.

| Hi! I'm getting married September 15th of this year. I'm not really trying to lose weight for the wedding, just trying to lose it in general... though it certainly wouldn't hurt how my dress fits! The part I'm most concerned about is my upper arms... and I need something to suck my gut & love-handles in a little more than the corseting in my dress does. I ordered some high-waisted briefs from Spanx to try to pull everything in. Does anyone have any suggestions for shapewear? I haven't started my fittings yet because I need to get all my undergarments together first... not having much luck.

| Hello to all the like minded brides out there... My day is set for Sept 8th and I am determined to loose 25 pounds by then! I want to be the old Laurie at my wedding! My dress is my goal and motivation, It is gorgeous and I am determined that it will fit me in time! Good luck in reaching your goals everyone! We all deserve it!

I have thought about hiring a trainer to help me lose the weight that I want to lose before the wedding, but they are really costly $50-75 per hour!!
I think that I am just going to keep working as hard as I can on my own and just keep thinking that as long as at the end of my wedding day I am married to this wonderful man, nothing else matters!!

| Way to go on the changes in your arms and shoulders. My dress isn't strapless it has short sleeves on I have to wear a strapless bra with it and in order to be able to breathe I want to lose about 43lbs by my wedding date. I have been walking and will have to start on the stomach exercises but I want to continue walking first because I can definetly see some changes in my stomach already. I can already get into a pair of jeans that I haven't been able to wear in over a year so I am happy about that.

| I also already fit into my dress, but it laces up the back so I could lose more without having to have major alterations done. The back is kind of low and I really don't want to have my back fat hanging over the back of the dress. It is also strapless, I would like my shoulders and arms to have some definition and be all flabby. Those are my goals! I have been taking the cycling classes and the weight training classes at the gym - they are fun and hard and I am already seeing some changes in my arms and shoulders!

I also fit into my dress but I want to look good in the dress also. My job started a walking program at work in association with the American Heart Association. So my team has set a goal of 400 miles to have done in 4 weeks and it started yesterday May 6th. So far I have walked 3.35 miles and we have do 25 miles a week for the next 4 weeks at least there are four of us doing this.
I hope everyone has a good day..
Tess

| I'm getting married in September too. I'm so excited, yet stressed at the same time. I just want it to be over and I want to lose this weight! I already fit into my dress, but I want to look even better. It seems like a lot to lose in just 4 months. How are you guys doing it?

| Hello, I'm a September bride too! September 16 is the date. We're getting married on a farm under two ancient oak trees, followed by a reception on the lawn. I'm so excited! We've been dating for 5 1/2 years and living together for 3, so I'm very excited for this next step!!

| Funny, it feels like I'm getting married for the second time, but I'm not. Eight years ago, I was 3 months short of getting married and we called it quits. Now, eight years later, I'm planning yet another wedding .. and get this, it's with the same person!!! LOL - We have what we didn't have before. Then it was merely attraction, but over the years, a beautiful friendship has flourished, and I wouldn't have it any other way.

| My first marriage wasn't to bad I was with him for 14 years. I just never felt like part of his family though. I feel like a part of my fiance's family though. They are so wonderful and so is he. He treats me really well also. Well I hope everyone has a wonderful day.

| I'm also Sept. Mine is September 15, 2007. This is also my second marriage and I'm also doing it right this time. Getting married in the church, although my first wedding wasn't so bad. It was on a boat and the ceremony was done by the captain. But this time my mother and family will be happy (me too!) that's it's going to be in a church in front of God. I also can't believe how fast time flies when you're planning! My colors are champagne and chocolate brown and getting married in Ventura, California to the man of my dreams (my mom keeps wondering what heaven he fell out of, because he treats me so wonderfully)!

I'm getting married September 8. I posted that I want to lose 17 lbs, but in actuality, if I do that, more then likely I will not fit into my wedding dress. If I weigh at least 150 lbs, I think I'll be ok, because when I bought my dress, I weighed 154 and it fit like a glove.
|
|
|
|
I am getting married on Sept. 22 also!!
I figure that I have about 18 weeks to lose the last 18 pounds that I want to lose before the wedding! I think that at one pound a week, this goal is very doable!!
good luck to all of you!!

| Hello! I am also getting married in Sept...Sept 22, 2007 in Florida. My colors are also navy and white :-) I can't believe it is only 5 months away! Ahhh! I have a lot of weight to loose by then.
|
|
|
|
| Yay for September! I will be marrying the man of my dreams on September 1, 2007. I hope to drop 25 lbs by then, which doesn't look impossible at this point. :) I already bought my dress, but am getting kinda worried that I might lose too much weight to get it altered. :( I lost 9 lbs since I bought it, and it is already huuuuuge in the chest area (it's a strapless). If anyone is in the Reading, PA area and knows a really good seamstress...please let me know. :) Hooray for love!

| Hello everyone my name is Teresa. I am also a September bride I will be marrying my high school sweetheart on September 28,2007 in Texas. Our colors are navy, white and silver. I am hoping to lose the desired amount of weight so that I can have the dress taken in not let out. I already bought it and have it here. This will be my second marriage but I am doing it the right way this time and getting married in the church instead of at the Justice of the Peace. I can't believe that it is only 5 months away and there is still so much planning to do. Good luck and best wishes to everyone.
