Anyone else trying to lose 30+ before their wedding?

How's it going y'all? I weighed in down another 1.5 lbs on Sunday. Yay! I'm trying to stick with it; if I would tighten up my diet I know I could be doing better...lol but I love food.

I think I found THE dress! When I think about walking down the aisle in it, it's the only one so far where I can literally envision my fiancé saying "wow." I have a little more time before I have to order, so hoping to shed more lbs before then.

@motibvatedsister this is not AT ALL scientific or (probably) accurate but the general rule for wedding dresses is 10 lbs = 1 inch. Of course, everyone is different but that is just what we say when asked by brides.

I would like to lose another 30 lbs by September this year. I have to be a bridesmaid in my brother's wedding next year, but want to be at my goal weight by the fall. Anyone, please add me as a friend. I'm needing some motivation right now! Thank you!

Good to know @alheise12

Likelihood of me going down a size by the time I order the dress is small lol. Oh well can always get it taken in!

I sat down in my dress! That may seem silly but when I first bought it, that wasn't going to happen. At this point, I still need maybe a total of 1/2in total let out across my hips. My first alterations appt isn't until August so I'm still hopeful that I can make it so that no alterations are going to be needed. Keep it up ladies! We're going to be beautiful brides!!

Little late joining this thread, but I am getting married in October and I am really working on loosing whatever weight is possible before then! I would love some friends and support!

Dress ordered! My measurements were all over the place lol. My middle section is definitely where I lose weight last, so unfortunately resulted in me ordering a larger size than I would like so that it will zip/close at the waist. Even if I had to alter the dress today I would need the top taken in nearly 10 inches, and the hips about 5 just so the dress is large enough for my midsection to be accommodated. So assuming I continue to lose weight, I can't imagine how much it'll have to be taken in by the end of the year.

I started lifting heavy weights so while I have shed some inches my weight really hasn't changed much, so I only ordered 1 size smaller so there's not added pressure to lose a ton of weight (even though I still want to lose 30lbs +). I was in between sizes based on waist measurement, so I only need to go down literally 1inch in the waist for the dress to fit (my hips/bust will already fit and need to be taken in). So I figure that should absolutely be a reasonable achievement, heck even with a good pair of spanx that should happen! I still have like 7 months until alterations at the earliest, so I better be down a lot of inches by then in the waist.

I honestly hope I don't lose to much more on the bottom/top, hopefully I'm at the point where it'll start coming off the middle. Lol there's not much to lose elsewhere!

How is everyone doing?

We're not even setting a date until I'm slightly comfortable with my body, 2 kids in 2 years with 70 extra pounds does something to you, only 40-50 to go!
I see this post is originally from February, how's your weight loss so far?
