    Well 2wks from Saturday is the big day! I haven't tried on my dress and won't til the day of so no pressure or anything lol. But I've lost 8.6lbs so I'm happy, but it just seems like I can't get out of the 140s...I get so close and then I gain a little...sigh annoying but I think I can!

    9 days until the big day! I've lost 10lbs! My dress is calling me to try it on but my mom doesn't want me to try it...but my grandparents are coming on Monday so maybe (I'm hoping) to model it for them.

    Haha I win! My grandparents are coming Monday and my mom finally caved in and allowed me to model my dress for them! I've lost 10.2lbs and when I tried it on in May I had lost 8 so we'll see what happens!

    Just out of curiosity why is it up to your mom to make that decision? If you want to model your dress for your grandparents, just do it? You're gonna be a married woman soon. ;)

    Why would anyone NOT try their wedding dress on before the wedding? Wouldn't you want to know if it, you know, fits? BEFORE the day of the wedding?!

    Who knows she doesn't want me to mess it up. One part of the bussle has a little rip but I don't think it's a reason to not know if it's gonna fit

    I did want to try it on!! I've been saying that for a month and a half but of course I get ignored and figure out how to come up with something that I could think of just to put it on

    Congratulations on your upcoming wedding! Just curious about a few things, because some of it just doesn't make sense. If you knew the dress had a small rip in it, why not have it repaired? What if it gets worse on your wedding day?

    Also, why would you not try it on throughout the weight loss process? What if it doesn't fit properly?

    You're Mom won't let you try it on - really? I'm not trying to be offensive, but that doesn't make sense to me. Are you underage?

    I'm assuming you purchased the dress, and are only going to wear it once. Judging by this post, the way the dress fits you is important. Why are you not taking the necessary actions to ensure the best possible outcome? By taking no action you are going to be wearing a ripped, possibly ill fitting dress for your wedding...is this really what you want?

    Just had my wedding a week ago and it was AMAZING!!! Just a little inspiration for everyone who is trying to lose for the big day - it was SO worth it. I felt great (healthy and beautiful) and I am so proud of myself for losing the weight for my wedding. I have a few pictures from family and friends and I love looking at them. I think that was my goal - to be happy with how I looked in the pictures. It was a special day no matter what I weighed/looked, but I really wanted to do this for myself.

    I'm 22. The rip hides when I bussle it so I'm not concerned about it. I'm not sure why she didn't want me to try it on throughout June and most of this month.

    Thank you, I needed this today. I'm wanting to lose weight for my wedding for the same reason. For once I want to love photos of myself, enough so that I can frame them and put them on the wall!
