So I have 8 weeks till my wedding. I tried my dress on today... that was depressing. =( It zips, but it's tight... I go Wednesday to the bridal store to see what they suggest, get a good body shaper, etc... See what the plan is... That means, I have 8 weeks to get my butt in gear!
So add me as a friend, keep on me, cuz I know I can't do this alone!

    The good news is that if it currently zips, you're SOOO close! All you need to lose is a few inches. Maybe that'll help motivate you. Think of inches you need to lose and not pounds. :flowerforyou: You got this!!!

    8 weeks is plenty of time to lose some inches, which is all you really need to do since it zips. Eat cleaner and exercise. I suggest( if you are able) do a high intensity workout like Turbo Fire or Insanity. You will see subtle changes within 2 weeks. And by 8 weeks my guess is the dress will be too big..

    Good luck to you

    You can do this. Start weight lifting now and lower your cal intake and you can lose those lbs and inches fast.

    My wedding is in 3 weeks. The dress fits but my boobs stick out (did not shrink there). Gotta go see if they can cover me up a bit more. I will be buying a new dress if they cant.

    You can do this!!!!!! If you fit in the dress already then all you need to do is try a little and I am sure you will fit in the dress perfect AND look stunning :-)

    I've lost 16 pounds in 2 months, its absolutely possible!!! All i have been doing is working our 3 times a week and eating healthier - and by healthy believe me I am not starving... just doing cleaner and lower calorie - feel free to add me!!! I am getting married Sept of 2014 - would be nice to have some future Mrs. as friends! LOL

    So true! You have 2 good months to lose inches. It is definitely possible. Good luck! I would love to hear an update on this in a couple months.

    You should take before pics now in your wedding dress, so you can see your progress better.
