Is anyone else trying to lose weight for their wedding?

[jesterjigger]

Yes, I was one of those that bought my dress a little too small, planning on losing weight for the wedding. Of course, when I bought my dress I was five pounds heavier than I''ve been in my entire life, and I was flying to Korea less than three weeks later, so I didn''t have time to see if I lost the weight and then try on the dress again before ordering. The good news is, I''ve lost six pounds in the last 2 months, and since my wedding is a year and a month away I should be good to go with the size...but I was thinking that we could have a daily exercise/diet/vent about it thread.

Would any of you be interested in participating in something like this? I thought it might be cool to see the accomplishments and struggles of others...root each other one and help ourselves get through the stress of wedding planning without packing on pounds...and hopefully taking them off (the healthy way).

I was thinking that we could start it off with posting our current (or high, if you''ve already been doing the diet/exercise thing) weights and then our goals. I''ve also been using a great site called www.sparkpeople.com to track what I eat and the exercise I do.

I know the LIW group has a thread like this...I wasn''t sure if there was one on the BIW board, but didn''t see one in the first couple of pages so I''m sorry if there is one and I missed it!

I''ll start...

Today I ran 3 miles this morning. Also did some push ups and sit ups. Will go for a bike ride this afternoon, probably 30 minutes.

Great job on the weight loss! You don't have much to lose and you will do it easily!
