Bride Buddies

I am a Bride to be who is getting married in May of 2008. I would love to have a support group of women in the same boat as me trying to lose weight and tone up for the big day! Lets motivate each other so we can look and feel great for our weddings! (not to mention the honeymoon!!!)

Hi!

I'm getting married Sept. 27 2008, and trying to tone my arms and loose a few pounds for the honeymoon. I'm at 152 now (was 157 last month when I started), and trying to get to 125.  I don't care that I might have to have my dress taken in!  I'm working out a a Curves-like circuit gym 3 nights a week and sometimes on Saturdays, and have gradually changed my diet to be much more organic and healthy. 

anyone can feel free to message me if they want a buddy for a sept. wedding!

Thanks for the advice scarter. I'm really excited about this! But yea, on the heading your own advice thing. If I could do everything I know I should.. I'd be doing great... and I wouldn't have eaten that doughnut this morning just because the boss brought it for me... geez.

Lindsay, I'm totally game to be your buddy.  I'm at 156-ish, so you and I are in the same place right now, and I can't honestly say I'd mind getting down to 125 (though that's beyond my wildest imaginings at the moment) in the least before my wedding!

taparapa - just added you!

Hi ladies!  Good to see other brides-to-be getting motivated for their big days! Lindsay ~  I'm October 18th so we are pretty close!

I have been stalled out for a few months, but to be fair, I haven't beene xcersizing or really counting.  I would really like to get down to 135 for the wedding, but it seems each time I get down to 139 I just bounce back up to 142ish.  Grrrrr!

I am happy that at least I'm not gaining tho!

The prob now is I found my dress!!!!!!!!  But it fits just perfectly now just as I am, but I don't want to stop losing - I have 5 more months to go!  I'm not sure what do, maybe just 5 more pounds and start lifting/ toning.

Tapa ~ I am the worst at that!  If someone offers me food, I feel like I have to take it (especially if it's the boss :)

lindsayu83 - I had to have my dress taken in too, you don't even want to know how much it cost! I had a lot of layers that needed to be hemmed also, but I was shocked. Let's hope it'll be worth it though! She actually took it in a bit more so that I can lose a few more lbs. The pressure's on now to lose a few more inches in a month! Wish me luck, I've done HORRIBLE this past week!

Lemntwist - congratulations on buying your dress. I'd definitely recommend, if you can, waiting until two or three months before to buy your dress. I bought mine at David's Bridal so it was right off the rack. If I had known they didn't have to order it, I woudl've waited b/c it fit me PERFECTLY when I bought it, but then I ended up having it taken in. I go for my fitting on June 4th, I'm just so nervous, I hope it fits like it did the day I bought it!

 

scarter ~ how did the fitting go?  You're so close to the big day now!  How is the rest of the planing going?

I am pretty much stalled out, which is okay for now.  I've starting lifting weights and am feeling good :)

How is everyone else doing?
