President Clinton Near Weight-Loss Goal for Daughter Chelsea's Upcoming Nuptials

NEW YORK (CBS/AP) Chelsea Clinton gave her father strict orders to drop 15 pounds before her summer wedding - and former President Bill Clinton says he's nearly met that goal.

A noticeably thinner Mr. Clinton was at the White House Thursday and said he has just two pounds to go.

Daughter Clinton is set to wed longtime beau Marc Mezvinksy sometime this summer. 

Mezivnksy, 31, is son of former Iowa congressman Ed Mezvinsky and former Pennsylvania congresswoman Marjorie Margolies-Mezvinksy. 

The two are both Standord alumnus and announced their engagement last November.

Details of the wedding have been kept under wraps, but the former president did let it slip that he has "more than a month" to achieve his goal while at the White House on Thursday.

Mr. Clinton joined President Barack Obama for a meeting with the U.S. World Cup Soccer Team.  He was recently named honorary chairman of the bid committee that's trying to bring the soccer tournament to the U.S.
