Speaking of dreams. I couldn't fall into a deep sleep the other night because I kept seeing the WL Forum pages in my head. Yeah, I think I need to lay off this forum for a while if this happens again....*LOL*.

I forgot the good news. As you see, I have crossed the 160 threshold. This was the weight I set for myself before I could even go to look at dresses. Bridal shops here I come...

Yay! Congrats!

Have a great time shopping!

I finally did it! I woke up at 5 am today and went running. It has been SO hard for me to do this, and it is the only time I have available to exercise since I have such a long commute. I am going to keep doing it, with you all as my witnesses! Also, I have managed to eat vegetables with every evening meal for a week now. This is such a good change. I want to increase vege intake even more.

Lemon: I can tell you, that at 160 lbs you'll look amazing in a wedding dress! That is what I weigh, and I was shocked at how flattering the right design can be to my figure. Good luck! I think wedding dresses make every woman look beautiful, no matter her size.

lets talk about some thing fun!!

How did u meet your fiancee and how did he propose??

I am getting married in May 2009 so I want to be down to 120 by then! I am so excited and it really helps when I know that other people are trying to lose for weddings also. I also have to go to my fiance's cousin's wedding in June so hopefully I will have most of my weight off by then! Good luck everyone

Hey guys, i havent checked out this thread in a while. Well in January I lost about 5.5 pounds am down to 177.5. The wedding I want to lose weight for is still a little over 11 weeks away. I would love to be in the 150's by then but we'll see.

Everyone on here is doing so well. Congrats and good luck for the month of February

Ooohh a fun topic Mine is a long story but here's the shorter version. Last August, I moved 12 hrs away from my family and fiance to go to school. My fiance set up a treasure hunt for me in my new home that included riddles, hidden clues, invisible messages etc. I am HORRIBLE at all of these things, not to mention that I get frustrated really quickly. He had it all timed so that I would finish FOUR months later (yup it was that complicated!) around the time I would be heading home for X-mas. The clues had lead me to a key that he hid in my place when I first moved. Anyways, in early December he drove 12 hours to pick me up and booked a cabin in the mountains for us to stay at on the drive home. While we were at the cabin, he gave me the "treasure chest" that my key was able to unlock. Surprise, surprise...it had an engagement ring inside. I was completely caught off guard. This is what happens when you get engaged to an engineer!!

Can't wait to hear everyone else's stories!!

snow: You are so right. Its amazing what wedding dresses can do!

Oh, and more good news! We finally set a date. You Americans are going to love this...July 4, 2009. And no, our colors are not going to be red white and blue! *LOL*

That is so sweet!!!!!

Morning,

I met my husband at a techie company. He built the software, I built the applications. It was love over a Sparc screen, the ultimate of romantic locations.

Best wishes,

Barbara

what a fun thing to discuss.
My bf and I worked in the same company but we were in two different buildings in two different professions. i was a software engineer and he in corporate finance. in dec 2004 i posted a thread on the online bulletin board and he was one the the many to reply thinking i am a "GUY"...can you imagine....???!!! Well, we got to chatting through emails and 4000 emails and 4 months later we finally met to fight with each other. We became inseparable after that
There was no formal proposal in the traditional sense as such as it did not make sense anyways. We were in it for eternity from the very beginning.....
So we just told our parents and fixed a date for the marriage which, btw, is now scheduled on 11th July this year.
I am getting married to the man of my dreams yaaaayyyyy

My fiance still has yet to officially propose. We decided to get married a while back, but we are having the ring made custom and he is waiting to do the traditional proposal until it is ready.

I met him through church, actually, and totally hated him! He really liked me immediately and chased me, and I was running for my life. Finally he left off, and that must have done the trick because it's 3 years later and I'm completely in love with him!

I met my honey at his birthday party. A mutual friend wanted to stop by and say hello.....the rest is history.


The proposal was great. He took at jewelery class and made my ring! (actually melted the metal, shaped it, filed it, everything! Someone else set the diamonds though). Anyway, he secretly called both sides of our family and had them all congregate at our fave restaurant. Then one day he casually asked me if I wanted to go eat. When we arrived the waiter took us to a huge table with a bunch of people. When i realized who they all were I turned around to ask my honey what was going on and he was on one knee........

Hi all! I'm getting married this July and that has been my motivation to get in better shape! I don't have much to lose..maybe 5 or 10 pounds (i do'nt even have a scale anymore), but I'm definitely serious about losing it. Actually I don't even care about the number on the scale, I just want to shed some fat and be more toned in my dress. I tried on my dress at one store, then went to a different one to buy it. I think the dresses were different sizes between the two stores but it was a while back I don't even remember. Anyway, the pic of the first time i tried on the dress kind of scares me...I pray that's not the size I ordered, if it is i have more work to do than i thought! When I ordered the dress it was the size I was actually wearing and from what I remembered it fit perfectly...but in the picture I took the first time shows differently. I'm tempted to go try it on in the size I ordered just for piece of mind. I just reread what i typed and it sounds kind of confusing. Sorry! Also my fiance is sooo thin..sometimes it makes me sick because he can eat whatever he wants and doesn't work out at all..ugggh! We run/workout together sometimes but I always feel like it's doing no good (like he's wasting away and i'm getting a little bitter thinner so it kind of cancels out). Weird I know. Anyway good luck to all of you!

Hi Hypergal....
I'm getting married in July too. Mine is on 11th July. I haven't started shopping for a dress as yet as I have loads to lose...lol... But on the other hand my fiance is not so thin but then again, who does not wanna look their best on their wedding day? My only concern is that when I show my wedding snaps to friends and kin, they should not comment that I have looked better
So me's working out. 1.5 hrs of cardio 5-6 days a week and control over diet (barely...lol). Keeping fingers crossed.
Cheers
