Hello Brides!!!
For those who are new: I will post a new thread each Sunday. I have recently cut down the thread length due to my busy school schedule and not having as much time with graduation coming up.
I asked last week if anyone would like to take over this tread...I had no takers.
I do not want to fully stop the tread, so in order for me to keep it going I need to cut it down a little. I hope everyone can understand. 
How to upload a photo: Go to www.photobucket.com, it’s a free service, and upload your photos. Copy and paste the IMG code (there is a list of codes, easy to find on the site) onto your message post. Change the capital IMG code at the beginning and end of the code to lower case img. Your photo will appear when you make the actual “post.” (I will post this each week.)
Challenges: I normally give a challenge each week (fitness, dieting, ect). I am going to be cutting this part out. Sorry!! It is just too much for me to handle right now with my busy schedule. Anyone can feel free to "challenge" other brides!
Getting to know each other (Please only fill this out if you are new to the group; copy and paste this section into your post. I will post this each week for new comers.)

I saw this thread and just thought I would give advice. I am wearing flats. I would wear heels if I could, but I'm 6'0" and my fiance is 5'9" I got my flats from Nine West for $400 -

1. Weight loss/inches lost this week: 2lbs! (some of it may be from being sick, but we'll see if it sticks!)
2. Highlight of the past week: Had a fun night out with two girl friends from college. It was really fun catching up with them!
3. Lowlight of the past week: Trying to get over the nasty cold I have had. Went back to the gym and it still really hurt to breath :grumble: Trying as hard as I can to get back into my routine.
4. Any wedding news updates: Invitations should be delivered tomorrow!!!
5. Weekly wrap up: Rough week. Still really tired from being sick. Good/Bad thing is all the medicine and nasal drip made me sick to my stomach, so not over eating was easy.0 -
Hi I'm Kristin and I am new to MFP. I am here to lose 15lbs and get in shape before my wedding. I'm 26 and current live in Nashville and work as a photographer.
My fiance is Kevin and we are getting married on October 22nd. We have been together for 9 years.
My heaviest weight was right after I graduated college at 168. I think I was higher, but never got on the scale. My weight goal is between 120-125 with 18% BF. I love running and have just started boxing and think I found a new addiction. I love Mediterranean food and Eating Clean has some great recipes.0 -

I will more then likely wear some type of no-heel shoe. I never wear heels because of a knee problem and it is just uncomfortable! Try Macys....they have a ton of shoes. I also get a lot of shoes from Naturlizer...very comfortable but expensive.0 -
Brides on a Mission: week 18
1. Weight loss/inches lost this week: will weight in on Wed...I am hoping for a loss with my gain last week!
2. Highlight of the past week: (not weight, just something exciting that happened): I had a great weekend! We got all new doors, trim, and baseboards in the house and they need to be pained. I got a lot of it done but so much more to do! This week starts my week 1 of 8 left for school! I also made good choices when going out to dinner this weekend...bison buger no bun, with chesse (I had to!) and grilled onions without butter or oil and bbq sauce. I had a side of veggie sticks instead of fries.
3. Lowlight of the past week (not weight, just something that you need support with): Just been super hungery lately and I dont know why. It is hard to not eat when you are starving.
4. Any wedding news updates: Nothing really. The fiance and I are moving in together in July/Aug! Super excited about that.
5. Weekly wrap up: I have a super busy week coming up. I am stressed a little with school because I have less then 2 weeks to take my exit exam. I have lots of studying to do and I want to make time to work out.0 -

When my bestfriend got married 5 years ago, his bride went barefoot for their outdoor ceremony and then at the reception she wore white flipflops with rhinestones on the straps. I have been planning on stealing this idea since that day.0 -
Congrats brides!
One of my bff's is getting married next year so I'm using that as extra motivation to lose these darn 8 lbs of honeymoon weight.
For those looking for flats/low heals I wore these kitten heals ALL NIGHT! I never changed (get your BM’s to bring flip flops though, best idea ever, I no longer attend a wedding w/o!) They were so very comphy and I have wide feet. I bought mine online for about $60, I had a coupon ($10 off or so) and shipped them to a hotel on vaca in the USA b/c Canada shipping was crazy high. If you want the exact website where I bought let me know, I still have a "Wedding" file in my hotmail.

Thanks to all of you who have suggested certain flats!0
-
Ahhhh I am so anxious to weigh in tomorrow. I have been stuck between 160-162 the past 2 weeks and I so bad want to be in the 150's!!! I always have such a hard time getting into that next weight catagory. I have really bumped up the work outs this past week and I am hoping it pays off!
I just keep thinking about my wedding dress....whatever it will look like! haha When I get off track or want to eat something unhealthy I just think about how I want to look in a dress and I even look online at pictures of dresses to keep me going.
How does everyone else keep going when temptations get in the way???0 -
@wannabrn10 I don't have any answers for you there. I find I work better if I give in and have a small amount of whatever I'm craving instead of denying myself. I almost always end up bingeing later if I don't.
Question for you ladies: my dress will be arriving May 27th (give or take a few days) and I ordered it 1.5 sizes smaller than I was mid-Feb. I've lost 6lbs since then and am curious to see how tight/how well it fits me now to get an idea of trouble zones I might have to work on. Now, the seamstress doesn't want to do a fitting before Sept 1 (wedding = Oct 15). Should I wait until later or go for it to at least try the dress on?0 -
@ wannabrn10: I do the same as you. Imagine myself in my dress, but usually I have to give in to my cravings because otherwise they will drive me crazy. I just try to reduce portion sizes and try healthier options. Like frozen yogurt instead of icecream!
@amandapratt: My dress shop actually recommended coming in and at least trying on the dress to make sure there were no manufacturing issues (i.e. missing zippers etc...). I went and tried it on and now am going to schedule a fitting for later in the summer. Talk about motivation to slim down!!!0 -

Hey amandapratt! I would say it is up to you. It can be win win: If you go in to try it on and it fits you will be excited your hard work paid off and continue to work hard. If you go in and it is snug in some places, you will be motivated to work even hard so it will fit perfectly!
I couldn't wait to try my dress on. I raced down to the bridal salon as soon as it came in. I ordered it to the size i was, but that was 15lbs ago, so it will have to be taken in!0 -

Brides on a Mission: week 18
1. Weight loss/inches lost this week: nada, still trying to get rid of the pound and a halfish thats hanging around from Easter. Looks like that will be addressed this week!!
2. Highlight of the past week: (not weight, just something exciting that happened): FINALLY getting my boyfriend to sit down and help pick out meals for the week. He is super picky so its hard to cook new things because i never know what he will like. This will really help because love it or hate it, he knows he was part of the decision so he will at least try it.
3. Lowlight of the past week (not weight, just something that you need support with): struggling with those pesky pounds hanging around from easter , feeling stuck and feeling like I'm "falling off the wagon" in a way because I messed it up over Easter and the following week...old habits die hard and there were a couple of times i decided i "deserved" to go over and I know thats not the right mindset.
4. Any wedding news updates: for the Newbies, i'm not engaged yet :blushing: just in a very serious relationship and living with my BF. I'm trying to lose the weight now so i am ready when we do get engaged!
5. Weekly wrap up: It wasn't the greatest week, but I'm getting on track and very proud of that!! I haven't been completely "off track" because I was still tracking everything and drinking my water. I'm working on drinking less/no pop too which is a good change for me
I'm also working on fitting more Negative calorie foods into my diet!! Hopefully that will help :happy:0 -
I'm running a 5k on May 21st!!! I can't believe its only 2 weeks awayyyyyyyyyyyyy
I'm freakin out! :happy: Hopefully it will go well. I'd like to finish in 31 minutes tops, we will see! 0 -

I have seen so many people being stuck at this point and really difficult to get into the 150s...maybe its the 150s curse! haha0 -

It's really tough! I was stuck at 161-160 for the entire month of April!! It just makes it that much sweeter when you reach it! Keep up the good work ladies!0
