    I lost 10 pounds myself at the beginning of 2012 before I went wedding dress shopping. I felt great and every time I hopped on the elliptical or treadmill I kept envisioning the dress I wanted (which I didn't wind up liking lol but that is besides the point).

    I was able to maintain that weight but now I am really looking to lose more. I'm getting married in June. Feel free to add me if you want someone to help motivate you.

    the weight isnt coming off as quickly as it used to! I hate getting older! Seems like I'm always taking 1 step forward and 2 backwards.

    Great idea- Have visual motivation! The best part about dress shopping after losing weight was that everything looked good on me. Definitely a first!

    Congratulations on your engagement!

    I am doing the exact same thing. I got engaged just before Christmas and still haven't tried anything on. Before engagement I thought that would be the very first thing I did since that's what most women do. I refuse to try something on until I'm comfortable in my own skin. Best of Luck you to!! You will look beautiful <3

    Soooo, I havent made it to my goal yet, but a friend has harrassed me into trying on dresses next week and only because she is also trying on dresses and the shop it pretty far away. I am hoping that it will just inspire me, I am feeling pretty motivated right now, but not fitting into samples might just help with that...I am hoping the sample size isnt tooo tiny!

    Either way I still have a whole week to focus and work hard before I get there, or change my mind!

    I lost 20 lbs, to try on wedding dresses then put the weight all back on (I made the mistake of thinking I was done with healthy living once i hit my goal weight)! I bought a beautiful one that was a little spacious at the time and now I can't zip it up. My new goal is to lose 10-20 lbs until I try on that dress again!
