I hear you Erin! I am in a wedding this year as well. Just keep at it!! YOU CAN DO IT! :-)0

As of now, I'm going to be the fat maid of honor. Everyone else in the bridal party is a size 10 and below, and right now I have a size 18 dress.
BUT I have until August, so I have this. I at least want to get down to a 12, I would be happy with that.
I could use all the support I can get, and if anyone else wants to add me, feel free. We can all do it and we WON'T be the "fat bridesmaid"!0 -
I'm in the same boat at well. All of the bridesmaids are little hotties and I was horrified when the bride had us all go try on and order dresses together, WHILE I WAS 6 MONTHS PREGNANT with#3! I went to the shower and they all wanted to know if my dress fit now and I lied and said it was too big, but the truth is that is still fits the same
. I am on week 3 of my 70 lb weight loss journey and I'm down 9 lbs! I am cutting my calories and doing Turbo Jam (First exercise I've ever LOVED!) 5-6 days a week. I'm praying that I can stay on track and shock them all when I fit right in with all the tiny (haven't had any kids yet) bridesmaids. We can do this!!!!! 0 -
Opposite for me but i know how you feel. I'm actually the bride and all my bridesmaids are smaller than me. I don't want to be the bride who looked worse than her bridesmaids. Keep up the work you can do it!! You got this!!

You sound exactly like me, except I tried on a size 18 dress and i couldnt do up the zipper. I'm the maid of honour as well, all the other girls are a size 6 and under.0 -
I'm not a bridesmaid but my BIL is getting married in May and I'm hoping I can lose about 25 Lbs. by the time the wedding rolls around. it's memorial day weekend so I have about 4 months. If I lose 2 Lbs. a week, I should be able to... Good Luck.0

My son is getting married in August and that has given me the drive to lose the weight. I just don't want to look back on the pictures and hate how I look!!! Feel free to add me0

I'm totally with you. My brother is getting married this June, but I have to go in for final fitting for a bridesmaid dress in march. Strapless and short does not look good on a fluffy girl as myself. I just say start slowly and not too fast as it might make you slip( I know it does me). Log the calories and workout! We will be gorgeous bridesmaids... We got dis!!!!0

It's pretty uncomfortable knowing they're all sticks. Especially since standing alongside all of them I feel like I look even bigger.0 -
I know no one "wants" to be the fat bridesmaid, but inevitably someone will. From a males point of view, I think it's more important that you be honored to be part or your friends/sisters/brothers etc. entourage, rather than worry about how people think you look. The spot light is gonna be on the bride/groom anyway.
That's not to say that trying to lose weight shouldn't be your goal, but lots of females make this out to be a bigger deal than it really is..............................unless of course you have "friends" that like to berate each other about one's weight in a dress.

I tried not to be a fat bride, didn't work! Oh well, no excuses now, that was almost 7 years ago. You are beautiful, and I am sure your friend is just glad to have you by their side, that being said, I have no doubt you will achieve your goal and outshine everyone on that day!0

This is such a fantastic topic! Both of my parents are re-marrying this year. My Dad in July and my Mom in October. I am also hoping to get where I want to be before being a bridesmaid. It's nice to know that we aren't alone on this journey! Feel free to add me if you'd like!0

I am a low cal girl, but you are welcome to add me. Laughter counts as calories burned in my book, and I do try to make people laugh at least once a day. Everyone is always welcome to add me. Congrats on your brothers upcoming wedding!0

I think your goal (150) is VERY attainable. Unlike you, I don't want to be the fat "bride" (I'm looking at a July wedding) and I refuse to be the weight that I am now. I MUST drop at least 50 before then and I'm determined to do so...truth be told my goal is at least 10lbs a mos until July (end of July) which is actually 70lbs. We can do this--WELCOME!0

I totally want to join this support group!!
I was in two wedding parties a year and a half ago, and while in one party I was the 'fat' one (with two of the other bridesmaids having kids 3 and 4 months before the wedding!!), the other one, I was the 'middle' one. I have been asked to be in another bridal party, but the wedding isn't until 2014. I don't care if I am the 'fat' bridesmaid, I just want to look good in pictures and feel great in my dress.
Feel free to add me for motivation and support!!0 -
I too, will be in a wedding in August, but my goal is not necessarily related to being a bridesmaid. I do need a lot of encouragement, however, as I tend to fall off because I think about the tremendous journey I have ahead of me (ultimately to lose 150 lbs) If you would like, add me as a friend so we can compare bridesmaid successes :-)0
