Hey all! I'm about halfway to my goal and MFP has been the main thing that's helped me. I'm proof that if you stick with it, it can happen! I have about 5 months until my wedding so I'm hoping I can lose it all by then! Though that may be an issue with my dress because it was already too big and I'm not sure how much they can take it in. I might have to lose my corset back and put in a zipper or something instead :-(

I can sympathize with the dress issue....except, I had the opposite problem! I had bought a sample dress from David's Bridal (they discontinued the style) and it was perfect! I absolutely loved it, got a super great price on it, and it fit me perfectly....when I bought it earlier this year. Well, over the course of this year, I have managed to gain almost 30 lbs!!!!!!! I honestly am not sure what has happened considering I haven't changed my lifestyle, eating habits or anything. I guess it's just my body getting older and my metabolism getting slower, etc. Anyways, I had to buy a new wedding dress. I lucked out and found yet another super awesome deal, but this time it's brand new with the tags on it, ha ha! And, it has a corset back, so there is a little room for weight loss. Anyways, hopefully you find a solution with your dress without having to lose any details that you love about it!!

I'm hoping to not only lose weight and be a beautiful bride, but maintain and be a super hot wife

I feel the same way!
