Wedding challenge!! - Page 2 - 3 Fat Chicks on a Diet Weight Loss Community

Hi All,

I'm a newbie. Is it too late to join this group? My cousin's wedding is on May 5th. It'll be the 10th wedding I've stood in. I don't want to be the fat bridesmaid. I've ALWAYS been that girl. I'm at 213 and hoping to be 170 by then. It certainly won't be my goal weight, but anything is better than where I am now.

Here I go!

Jenna

Welcome Jenna! Youve set yourself a realistic goal, so im sure you will reach your goal. What plan are you following? Or are you just healthy eating?

pigginpodgey · 12-07-2006, 11:24 AM

so there are only 20 days left til wedding no.1 ! This month has been pretty rough, there is a lot of sadness in my family at the moment, my uncle has just been diagnosed with terminal throat cancer, and a friend of the family has just lost her battle with cancer. So im not making excuses, but maybe trying to cut myself a little bit of slack!!

Ive only lost 1lb this month, I have 4lb to lose in 20 days, which is my goal. I want to have 30lbs gone by the wedding. I am going to start using my food journal again and making myself accountable. All this sadness makes you realise that you only have one life, so Ive got to live it to my true potential!

My sister has put her date back to March they figured out they can still do it (I hope).

just weighin in. The first wedding could have bene postphoned, as her dad ( my uncle) is in hospital having heart bypass surgery today. He wanted her to have the wedding regardless though, whether he gets out of hospital in time or not.
Im aiming to lose another 2lbs by the wedding, i want to have 30lbs gone by the wedding.

Hey all!! I'm getting married on June 16, 2007 and would LOVE to lose some weight by then!! It's 27 weeks away, so I'll aim for 30 lbs!!

Excellent, a fellow bride!

Congrats - my date is April 21 of next year, so I don't have as many weeks as you...but keep at it, and I bet you'll hit your goal!

emily445455 · 12-15-2006, 08:28 PM

I bought my dress last week...and I just hope I won't have to bend down at the wedding!! LOL. I hope I'll have enough room in my dress when I lose 30 lbs.

Count me in! I started at 329 and I am down to 273lb.

I am getting married on April 21, 2007. I won't be able to lose down to my goal weight but I would like to be closer than I am now!

I am not sure what my goal is I am going to lose as much as I can. I will think about a goal.

I would like to be the chubby bride not the fat bride

So I'm not getting married, nor am I in the wedding party, but a good friend of mine is getting married on June 2 which is about 20 weeks away. I really want to lose another 40ish pounds before the wedding! I'm not going to make a seperate ticker cause I already have 2 filling up space down there

, but it's so on.

Great day for a wedding....that was my grandparent's anniversary and they make it 41 years before my grandmother passed away. That was the day I had planned to get married but decided to skip the BIG WEDDING mess and went to the courthouse on November 29,2006. I wish you many years of happiness and a lifetime of weighloss success.
