Brides to Be! Challenge for August (closed group)

soccerella

i put my measurements in too! also added in body fat since i calculate that too

so aside from the challege and support of posting this stuff and helping each other do we have any other challenges to do? Like certain exercise each day, or goal to work out 5 times a week or anything like that? Or do we even want something like that? I'm all for it if we can do something simple like 50 crunches one day, one minute of jumping jacks the next..... stuff like that as opposed to saying 30 minute run or something since theres not always time But totally fine if there isnt anything like that either!

BTW i have 11 days til my fitting!

Sure soccerella! Let's do mini challenges. I'll be looking at everything when I get home from work. I'm on my phone right now.

Hey guys!!! Haven't had a chance to enter my measurements yet. I'm secretly posting from work. (Such a rebel!) I LOVE all your dresses so far! I just picked my dress up last week...I ordered it a size smaller than the sample I tried on....and it's already too big! The sales lady said if I surpass the two sizes allotted for alterations, they would have to order me a new dress! Woo Hoo! I'm hoping to smash the two sizes rule! I never imagined I could be so motivated to lose this much! Here is what my dress looks like....

...but it may change before April depending on whether or not I can get one small enough at the time! Ha! Who woulda thought I'd ever be worried about finding something SMALL enough to fit??? Awesome!!!

I love your dress!!! I guess I should at least go look, lol but don't want to try anything on until I lose some of this weight!

Measurements don't have to be taken first thing in the morning like weight. Just don't take them right after you eat.

MrsSmith1112

grr...i'm going to have to buy a new tape measure. The only one I have is from one of those little sewing kits and it's only 25 in long. I can't get an accurate measurement by myself to save my effin life. I need help. lol

We are doing a vintage theme so my dress is going to be pretty plain with a lace shrug type thing.

I'm between this one.

Measurements are in. How depressing! :sad:

Oh well, that is the motivation I need...see those numbers go down.

Good Morning Brides to Be!! :drinker:

I haven't tried them on yet, just going by looks. Should I be worried?

i woudlnt say worried, but its actually a bridesmaid dress- they dont have it in white in the store so you will have to try it on in purple or something. Its also that stretchy jersey material, so very very comfortable, but also not super dressy either. I'm not saying dismiss it, but it might not be exactly what you're thinking when you go in and look at it. There are a ton of dresses there though that will definitely fit the theme you are going for!

It is just hard to find a plain dress I don't really want anything flashy or over the top and this seems to fit the bill pretty well with the look and the price. I will try it on and see how it goes!! Thanks for the advice!

Oh I know! I worked so hard to bust a platue then I measure myself and I'm right back to that weight and measurements.

tashjs21

Question: When measuring your bust are you doing this with a bra or braless?

nicothepotato

Depends on how big the girls are. Measure in what you'll be wearing under your wedding gown.
