    How are people finding looking for dresses whilst loosing weight? are you buying dresses too small in the hope you will fit into them or waiting till you reach your ideal weight to look?

    I'm getting married october 2013, so my plan is to go dress shopping the beginning of February which gives me a full 6 months to get down to my goal weight. My goals are still, shall we say ambitious. But I figure even if I don't reached them completely I'll still be a heck of a lot better off than I am right now (215 lbs :( ) I probably will try to find a dress that is alterable though so that if I do lose a considerable amount of weight after buying it I can have it adjusted to my new size. Do yourself a favor and don't buy a dress that is too small from the get go. I did that as a bride's maid once and it was disastrous. It's amazing the I got the dressed zipped up. Lessoned learned.
  • I am getting married April 20, 2013 as well! I just started this last week and any type of motivation assistance would be AMAZING. I seriously need help. I hate working out and really enjoy cooking, baking and eating.

    Hi, guys! I am getting married March 16, 2013. :))

    Hoping to be a fit and healthy bride. Good luck to everyone! I'm sure we'll all be beautiful in our dresses!
  • Hey all, I am getting married on 29th May 2013 and getting back in shape. I'm doing the great north run in September to kick start the exercise again, so hopefully that will really help with the weight loss! I just read a couple of posts about getting dresses...I went and bought mine on Thursday and my advice is get it early to make sure it comes in time - I have ordered mine now at the size I am and they are going to do the adjustments when the dress comes in December and then they will do tweaks a few weeks before the wedding if I have lost too much more - better to get one that you know you can amend than leave it too late for them to get THE dress in time.... just a thought :)

    HEy Ladies! I'm June 8th :D I'm freaking out now though because I have to get the dress this month :S I'm starting my last year of school in September and the hours are near 14 hours a day 5-6 days a week depending on when the instructors are available because they work in the industry. I'm not where I wanted to be yet but I guess we'll just have to make due and do more alterations if needed when it comes in
  • Hey Ladies! I'm October 2013. trying to lose at least 20 pounds before going dress shopping later this year. definitely a daily battle but this will be all be worth it when we walk down that aisle!

    Hi brides!
    My wedding is 16th Feb 2013 and I'm currently a UK 16 wanting to get to a size 12! Not sure how many lbs I'll have to lose but I really really need some motivation from other people as I have started to get a bit lazy!

    I started losing weight in January and have lost 18lbs, which was beofre I got engaged, I actually got engaged in May, so only have a short time to get to my GW!

    I am TRYING to be good with my food but I find myself going out for dinner with lots of social occasions and getting tempted all the time and not resisting.

    I have recently (last 2 weeks) started going back to the gym and swimming again, and I'm trying to aim for at least twice a week with this.

    I'm 5"1 and weigh 161lbs at the moment. Please feel free to add me and kick my butt so I look good on my big day! x

    I haven't picked the date but thinking May 2013. I need to lose about 45 lbs and need a buddy too. I am big into organic whole foods and am looking for recipies that both my man and myself can cook during the week so we aren't getting takeout so often.

    Want to be my buddy? Together is always more fun!

    Hi all!
    I am getting married in January 2013, and I'm looking to loosing about 15 pounds before I get my dress...

    Does anyone know when I should get my dress? I don't want to get it now and then loose more weight and then have the dress big on me on my wedding day :(.

    from what everyone is telling me, you should be getting your dress at least 3-6 months before the date so you have time for alterations before jan

    Hello ladies!
    My fiancé is currently deployed and should be home in time for the holidays (yay!). We are looking to elope on New Years or very early January.
    I just ordered my dress yesterday (omg! I'm too excited) and would love to lose that last 10-15 lbs before he comes home and we marry!
    I want to look stunning for our day AND surprise him!

    I'd love an accountability partner/friends for support! :happy:

    Hey Everyone!!

    My names Sam and I'll be getting married on 10/19/2013 to my best friend. He left on 9/16/12 and will be away for the next 6 months at the State Police Academy, so there's some extra motivation for my to get fit because he's going to come back ripped! haha Any ways I'm super excited to join this group for that extra push and support to get fit for my wedding!!

    Oh, and I really want to feel good about my self so I can do a bridal boudoir shot for my future hubby, is anyone else doing one??
