Sweating for the Wedding

xoAnnettexo

Hey! Just turned 25 on the 25th of August and just purchased my wedding dress. (AH!)
Anyway, I was ashamed to buy my dress a size 26 and still tell me they would have to let it
out in my hips a couple of inches. So while I'm waiting on my dress to come in and before I
have any alterations done to it (Not til May, so I have a while) I want to shed as much weight
as possible to look beautiful for my soon-to-be-hubby on our wedding day (September 2015). Everyone please
feel free to add me! xo

I am in the same boat. My dress is a size 22 and we are getting married April, 2015. Hoping to have a lot of weight off by the big day and then beyond that!

Good luck to you! You can do it!

I get married in July 2015, I haven`t even been wedding dress shopping yet, so not worrying about it until at least January next year. Just keep progressing and you`ll be fine, stick to your goals and ensure you log everything correctly and you`ll get there.

Isn't it crazy that you have to order wedding dresses so far ahead? I would have thought that any decent dress company could keep a good stock of various sizes and then release them upon a month or 2's notice for alteration/finishing.

I'm getting married June 2016 but I'm a bridesmaid for my sister next year and she's in at me to lose weight (no pressure lol)

hi, I'm getting married oct 2015, I tried a couple of dresses on a while back and really didn't like what I saw. I am 100% committed to down sizing and toning up. I so don't want to look like crap on my big day and have hundreds of photo to remind me of it.

Congrats to all of you that are getting married. Take one day at a time and you can reach your goal.Remember to never give up and if you get off course just seek friends to help you get back.

As someone who just got done having a bunch of alterations done... Just be aware.... If you go down more than one size, alterations are gonna be tough and it might alter the shape of the dress and how it lays.

Wow, congrats on your marriage!
My birthday is on 25th August too!

Adding you!

Im right there with you! Hopefully getting married summer 2016 and want to lose some weight before I even go shopping so I can get a better idea of what suits me (not "fat" me!)
Feel free to add me!

Hey there! I got married this July and I managed to drop the weight I wanted for the wedding (see profile photo)!
I would suggest putting off the dress fittings until about 1 month - 6 weeks before the wedding and once you go in, stop trying to loose weight - go to maintenance.
The poor woman doing my dress had to take the waist in twice.

Also - it took me months to loose the weight but I was aiming for a slow drop - as this weight loss wasn't just for the wedding it is meant to be for life.

I am looking to get married in Autumn 2015 but I haven't dared to book anywhere or try on dresses yet because I am scared that I wont drop the weight in time and I know my mum will give me a very hard time if I don't

Additionally, with the dress, I lose preferentially on my hips and waist so my body shape will appear to change. I don't want to buy a dress that will look wrong on the shape that I will be in the end

I'm getting married June 19, 2015! Woot!

And I've already tried on dresses, have one picked out, but am waiting to order it so it will look good with the weight loss!

I have completed the first 5 weeks of p90x3 and have been loving it!!!!

First, I want to say Congratulations! I wish you all the luck.

As for losing weight, Myfitnesspal has great tools you can use to keep track of your calories. I would suggest eating cleaner like cutting out the junk food, drinking more water, adding more veggies/fruits into your diet, and mainly keeping track of what you eat by using the MyfitnessPal app. If you decide to get into a exercise routine, that will help too.

I am getting married may of 2015.

I found an Australian couture gown for 74.00 (you read that right) that looks amazing on me...except ya know that fact that it won't zip. But I could not pass it up..so I have some serious motivation. It is a size 14. I hate the way dresses are sized. I easily fit into a size 14 pant from most places..even some 12s..my wedding dress is easily 2 sizes to small. But I have been smaller before So I know the cut is perfect for me...8 months. I am totally doing this!

I'm getting married June 2016 and I haven't been dress shopping. I would like to lose around 60 pounds before I go shopping next fall! Right now the thought of trying on dresses makes me excited and also cringe a little at the same time Good luck to everyone, hopefully we can motivate and inspire one another.

Congrats! I am getting married in April 2015 and I already purchased my dress this past April (was told it'd take a few months, but it arrived within 2 weeks!) It is a size 16W from Davids Bridal. I probably should've gotten an 18W, but I want that motivation to lose weight to fit into it! I recently had my Mirena taken out, which caused a significant amount of weight gain and cystic acne all over my face, chest, and back. I was 185lb back in June 2013, and now I am 220lb. So now I am really struggling to lose the extra weight I gained. I am looking for any kind of support system, so please feel free to add me as well!!!

Yay for all the 2015 brides and future brides-to-be!!! Let's do this thing!
