Hello everyone,

I'm a newcomer to weight-loss forum, inspired by my new engagment I'm hoping to reach my goal weight by the end of the year. The wedding is August 2008 :eek: wish me luck!
 
Newbie

Hey.....I am also a newbie, and I am also getting married in August 2008..
I'm really determined to loose these pounds esp now that I am getting married... :)
 
I am also new! I just joined today! :)

A HUGE congrats on your engagement!!!

Hopefully we can all reach our goals together!!
 
Good luck to both of you, both for the weight loss and the wedding.

Just a note...I too tried to lose weight for my wedding (oh, a gazillion years ago)...

I lost some, not as much as I would have liked, and continued to 'grow' after the wedding.

Remember, if you're serious about getting the weight off, AND keeping the weight off, it's about more then just the number on the scale come wedding day.

It's about changing those things in your life that caused you to gain weight in the first place.

Take small steps, but drink a bit more water, eat smaller portions, choose not to hit the fast food places, etc.

Make choices you can live with forever and weight won't be an issue ever again :D

Again, good luck and congratulations :D
 
congrats to you one your engagment, sounds like we're heading off to the alter around the same time! that's exciting :D
thanks everyone for all the great advice, I'm hoping this will be a good support system during the weight loss. Fingers crossed!!
 
oh you people - it's best wishes to the bride -it's congratuations to the groom :D he's to be congratulated for winning such a prize -she needs the best wishes for having to put up with him ofr the rest of her life :D

Much success on your weight loss journey - and enjoy the circus t hat is wedding planning :D
 
I'm also getting married, but in October.

Welcome Elysium_Dreemz, Bride2008, and the rest of the newbies...I am new here too! I found a thread on this board just for us brides if you want to join me over there. I feel I need as many friends on the same page as me as possible!

My goal is a little grander since I am going to be on display and I'm sure you can relate to that. I need to lose 46 MORE pounds before October and firm up too. Any helpful tips and advice will really be appreciated, plus maybe some fun stories about the planning you're doing!
