Brides on a Mission: JULY
1. Weight loss/inches lost this week: zip, well i'm yo-yoing a bit and i'm not sure why, i've been up 2 lbs for about a month and i can't seem to shake them, grrr!!! engagement photos in two weeks and i would feel more comfortable back at 143.
2. Highlight of the past week: (not weight, just something exciting that happened): Sunshine!!! The weather is finally nice here in Vancouver, BC Canada and I'm LOVING it, only trouble is I still have to go to work. We stopped by our beautiful new home this weekend and it looks oh-so-nice in the sun, and then we discovered a beautiful dog beach only about 10 minutes from our new home.
3. Lowlight of the past week (not weight, just something that you need support with): Work is very stressful and I am soooo tired all the time, not really sure what I can do to change it.
4. Any wedding news updates: As I said, engagement photos next week, my cousin and bridesmaid tried on a bridesmaid dress that looked really cute on her, so we're making a bit of progress there, my mom found the third potential dress to wear, LOL, booked an appointment for my first dress fitting. Still on the hunt for flat or small wedge blinged out sandals to wear on the beach.
5. Weekly wrap up: House stuff, work stuff, wedding stuff, yikes! Oh yeah, and working on losing that couple of pounds!0 -

1. Weight loss/inches lost this week: none, understandable with the holiday weekend.

3. Lowlight of the past week (not weight, just something that you need support with): Grandfather just started chemo, so I have been dealing with a lot of stuff related to that.
4. Any wedding news updates: Booked our DJ last week!
5. Weekly wrap up: It was a good week for working out, but only so-so on the eating side.0 -

Hey!
I'm new and after trying on my dress yesterday am determined to feel more comfortable in it by dropping a few pounds! Thanks for the motivation! I've got nearly a year to go to get rid of my squidgy bits but am starting early in the hope I can maintain a lower weight.

Hi Ladies! Sorry I have not been postings. Things have really gotten busy with wedding planning! Less than 10 weeks to go!

4. Any wedding news updates:
A) Picked our reception menu! Yum!
I scheduled my first dress fitting for August 2 (LESS THAN 3 WEEKS AWAY!!!:noway: ) so I really need to buckle down, once the fittings start I won't really want to lose much, just try to maintain.
5. Weekly wrap up: Buckling down. Goal: log everything and be a HOTT bride! :bigsmile:0 -

I know exactly what you mean. I am trying to push my fitting out as close as possible to the wedding date because once I fit and it goes for alterations I know I won't be able to lose more weight/inches. I want to be a hot bride too!0 -

ladies, my first fitting is august 2nd also! exact same day! and i'm nowhere NEAR ready...i keep telling myself it's a corset back so it's all fine, but really, IT IS NOT FINE!!! Eeks, the fitting is happening MUCH sooner than i expected because my best friend is here from the UK and wants to see the dress, perhaps I won't even do the fitting and just let her see? what do you think? it was a one of a kind dress that was at least one full size too big when i tried it down, so i was thinking i'd just have them take it in quite a bit now, and then if i need it taken in more closer to the day, i'll go ahead and do that in the winter (wedding is february)0 -
