Brides on a Mission: JUNE (Please copy and paste this into your profile with each weekly weigh-in)
1. Weight loss/inches lost this week: 0- I was somewhat expecting this since I was eating out the week before and went out for mexican on Friday night. The scale is not my friend right now.
2. Highlight of the past week: (not weight, just something exciting that happened): I had an amazing acupuncture appt and it made my whole week go better. I also have a phone interview on Monday!
3. Lowlight of the past week (not weight, just something that you need support with): Job stress was a little tough, trying to find a new job in this economy is really rough. I am hoping for the best.
4. Any wedding news updates: We have our venue booked and since it is far in advance I have some time to plan stuff. We are going to go to the venue to look at it and try to see what kind of theme we want on Tuesday and meet some new caterers.
5. Weekly wrap up: I am training for a half-Ironman triathlon. I know I am not going to be losing a lot at all. Or maybe not even lose until the race is over. I am going to focus on being healthy and keep an idea of my weight just so I don't let myself go crazy and gain. I thought training would help me lose but instead it is making it harder. Only 6 weeks tho!0 -

4. Any wedding news updates: ordered the guest book, flower girl dresses, invitations are shipped and should be here soon
5. Weekly wrap up: very stressful job and i know this is not a good time to quit with the economy and getting married in 4 months but i have to for my own health and my mental health. my fiance supports me 100% and i'll be able to fully concentrate on losing weight and other things while i am looking for a new job0 -

Brides on a Mission: JUNE
1. Weight loss/inches lost this week: Nothing. See highlight/lowlight.
2. Highlight of the past week: (not weight, just something exciting that happened): Went to one of my good friends Bachelorette parties! It was so much fun! We didn't have an actual meal so I just snacked which could be good or bad... I do know that I drank WAY too much.
3. Lowlight of the past week (not weight, just something that you need support with): Was hungover all Saturday therefore did not make good food choices and definitely didn't workout.
4. Any wedding news updates: Booked our Shuttle and meeting with DJ tomorrow!
5. Weekly wrap up: I was a bit upset with no loss this week, but I had so much fun! I really don't drink very often so it was nice to let loose with some friends. I already know that I won't have a loss this week because TOM is coming, but I will still stay on track.
Have a nice week ladies!!!0 -

1. Weight loss/inches lost this week: Not applicable...

Found a great dress for my shower at the end of the month! I'm so excited to where it!

Okay ladies... Need some advice..
I am now the crazy bride who is overly upset that my fiance got not one but TWO lap dances at his bachelor party a WEEK before our wedding. I do not feel in any way that he "cheated" on me. I do understand that it was not him but the other guys who decided to buy these lap dances (honestly he has never even expressed interest in going to a strip club let alone getting a lap dance). I 100% fully trust my fiance, that is not the issue at all so please refrain from any comments that maybe it is a trust issue.
So what's the issue? The issue is that for the last five years, the only naked woman's body he has had in his face was MINE. Now I've got this permanent image of some tall skinny bimbo dangling her fake boobs in my fiance's face for FIVE MINUTES! I am not a tall skinny fake boobed bimbo. I am a short, fit (after 8 months of working my *kitten* off) and small chested average woman. Up until him getting these two lap dances, I have always been very confident that my body was what he found sexy. HIm getting these lap dances has basically destroyed my confidence and I am now embarrassed and self conscious of my small chest.
I'm sure I will get over this eventually, and I'm not saying he shouldn't have gone to the strip club, just him getting a lap dance hurt me more than I thought it would. I don't want this to ruin our wedding or our honeymoon and I've briefly told him that it really bothers me but I don't think this is his issue... it's a self-confidence issue on my part. I know that I can't change it now which is why I haven't screamed at him over it. That wouldn't help anything. I just need to know how to get over it. I know that time would make me get over it, but we're getting married on SUNDAY. So I'm hoping someone here knows the magic thing to say to make me feel better.

This is a tough one, but honestly you shouldn't feel like you lost your self confidence in a few lap dances from STRANGERS. Your future hubby loves you for more than your body and self confidence should come from that. I mean you know he didn't seek it out, it was just his bachelor party. He loves you and your body, there is no reason to get all bent out of shape. You just have to dig deep to remember what make you feel confident in the first place, and trust in yourself more than anything. It is only a week before the wedding your nerves are shot, take a deep breath and try to let it just go. Focus on other thngs. I hope this helps 0 -

11. Favorite healthy food: Apples, they are my go to snack food!
Also,
Aly that is so hard. I can imagine how you feel because I get strange jealous tendincies every once and a while. I would try to remember things that make you important to your fiancee, remember that he only wants you, he wants to marry you, he fell in love with your personality, your looks, your body. He would never throw all of that away, and he probably would not actually even find this woman attractive in "real" life.
I think in time you will laugh about this, but of course right now its a little confusing and hurtful. Make sure to talk about it with your hubby so he knows how you feel and can help reassure you.0 -

Kristen was the one with the first post I just responded to try to make her feel better. 0 -
AH thanks!0

@kstoller2: Love that dress!!!
@gainskb: You just have to remember that he is not marrying you for your body (though with a body like yours he is a lucky lucky man!), he is marrying you because you are an amazing person! Honestly I would talk to him about the self confidence issue, I mean we can try to build you up best we can, but the best reassurance is going to come from him, your future husband. Hang in there, you are going to be a beautiful bride, I mean hey even at your fitting you looked fabulous and you weren't even all done up!0 -
Thanks for the encouragement! I'm still alive and, at least eating half decently, but there have been a few wedding snags I've had to deal with and last minute things to get done, so I really haven't had the chance to log. I plan on getting right back here as soon as the wedding and honeymoon are over.
Rehearsal dinner is Friday and the Wedding is Saturday. Wish me luck!!!

Brides on a Mission: JUNE
1. Weight loss/inches lost this week: Haven't weighed in because I am in a hotel for work this week and the scale here is never correct! It always tells me I am 20 lbs lighter than I am.
2. Highlight of the past week: (not weight, just something exciting that happened): MOG gave me a 1/2 carat diamond necklace that was her mother's necklace. I am really excited about that as I get to keep it after the wedding. Also going to a Boston Red Sox game on Sunday with the whole family after staying two days in Boston with my college roomate.
3. Lowlight of the past week (not weight, just something that you need support with): Work stress as they are talking about another round of lay offs as well as plant closures. Since the last two weeks have been my travel weeks I suspect I have not lost any weight.
4. Any wedding news updates: We planned on a destination wedding but if I do not have a job in another month we will have to make changes.
5. Weekly wrap up:
Trying to meet my exercise goals for the week as I have been slacking lately. I won't be working out this weekend so I need to get in enough before I have a few beers at the stadium.0 -
The rehearsal and dinner went well. By this time tomorrow night, I'll be an old married lady!:-D0

congrats sweet_13!
@gains- I totally get it girl. My future hubby was at someone elses Bachlor party and my good friend bought him a lap dance. Furious. I don't think he cared, nor do i think he was gonna go get busy with her in the parking lot, or change his feelings about me. But I think it's disrespectful to our relationship. I've gotten over it but made sure he knew I better be dead in the ground before that happens again :-). I'd discuss it if it's still bothering you- and the good guy I'm sure he is will probably say "no problem sweetie." You'll want to run down the aisle after that!0 -
I'll admit, I've been MIA for about three months. New job. School. Bad illness. Loss of job. Looking for a new job. It's been crazy. But I'm back at the band wagon, waiting to get on!
