    I did. I lost nearly 22kg with Weight watchers in the 12 months before my wedding. It took me 6-7 months to lose it and I maintained from then till the wedding. I would have kept it off for longer only we got a surprise bubs a few weeks after we were married LOL. I don't know if I lost any in the lead up because I never weighed myself, but I don't think I would have. It was hard, but so worth it when I look at my wedding photos.

    Alibaby I have no doubt that you will look nothing short of breath taking on your wedding day! You are already such an inspiration with what you have achieved so far I was trying to loose weight for my wedding but never really got there! I'm not sure why, the motivation just mustn't have been there as we weren't having any guests. I wanted to be 60kg's but I was 64 kg's, looking back I love my wedding photos etc We got married in Qld in December so it was really hot. I think instead of focusing on the scales I was eating really well and I mean super dooper well. Loads of water, making fresh juices every morning, huge salads for lunch and dinner, light stirfrys with a bit of rice etc. So I think focusing on heaps of fruit and veg and water my skin was glowing, hair was shining, my eyes were clear and I felt light and really good anyway kwim. Best of luck although I know you don't need it.

    Whilst I didn't lose weight before my wedding (as I was 4 months pregnant!), I just wanted to say I really think you can do it Ali!! I've been following your blog and you're awesome for what you've achieved so far.

    I'm now focussing on losing my baby weight and am half way through a 12 week challenge. It's the Michelle Bridges one and it works. There are other ladies in the program who have already lost 15 plus kilos in only 6 weeks. So yes, it can be done and I think you will be smokin' hot in your wedding dress

    I lost about 15kg before my wedding, probably over an 8 month time frame. All I really did was start jogging every morning. I had been walking a bit here and there, but I really kicked it up a notch and gradually built up to jogging. At my fittest I would run about 4km every morning (or be jogging for about 30 minutes). I also started doing a 15 minute exercise video focusing on the tummy, since that is my biggest problem area. I didn't really watch what I ate, but I did try and cut down my portion sizes slightly. If you look on my FB you'll be able to see a few of my wedding photos - the end result .

    You will look absolutely breathtaking Ali, I have no doubt!

    All I did was walk the dog about every second night, but I only needed to lose about 5 kg. My dress was just that little bit tight. A couple of weeks before the big day my dress was still a bit tight, but in the two weeks leading up the the wedding I had lost maybe 3-4 kg just from freaking out and being SUPER busy!

    Have a wonderful day when it comes and Good luck with the weight loss
