    https://spreadsheets.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AvQDbMtESxM-dHJmZ3hCVlh2cHNQOEdnTXNsYkJGREE&hl=en_US
    Vancemarylin's team: vancemarylln, SMarie1219, MrsBycroft2B, ido10612, soccerella, vannabehr, Natasha26, hherrin01, vdavis_89, mattiol4, and julies90

    Every Monday, you will update your measurements on the spreadsheet for the corresponding week. August 1 will be week 1. The captains will review the spreadsheet sometime on Tuesday to make sure the whole team has updated and will contact the brides that haven't. If you can't get to the spreadsheet for some reason or can't figure it out, message your measurements to your captain.

    The measurements you need to take are your weight, inches around the bust, directly under the bust, waist at the belly button, and hips. It's best to get your weight first thing in the morning after bathroom business is done.

    The only prizes here are a hot body, health, confidence and pride. If you cheat, you're only cheating yourself.

    Any questions can be asked here or to my inbox and I will answer the best I can.

    thanx for setting this up,
    I'm going to be taking it week by week, can garentee ( cant spell) that when I normally sign up for things, I end putting weight on instead of losing weight.
    shall I take my measurements now? (its monday 3pm here, or leave it til Tuesday morning)

    Mine is white (or ivory? can't remember). I bought a pink sash to go around my waist though. I tried my dress on in all pink but with my skin tone it washed me out :(

    I actually went and tried my dress on yesterday and it fits better then in May! I can zip the side up with no problems now. I can't wait to wear it! But first, sit ups, push ups, squats and cardio...

    I just want to share a story that the alterations lady at David's Bridal told me. Be very careful with your workouts once you have purchased your dress.

    She told me of a bride that was taking on a new workout routine and she built up muscles in her back to the point that the dress would not zip up. :frown:

    She wasn't saying don't work out but just cautioned to be careful on what you are doing because some things will change your body shape. Just something to remember.:flowerforyou:

    I recorded my weight and measurements! :)

    All your dresses look beautiful! I haven't bought my dress yet. I have been looking though. I am waiting until I am nearer to or reach my goal weight to buy my dress. I have a while though since my wedding is in December 2012.
