i totally hear you. I am getting married this august, I have made a change in my life nad really begun taking it seriousy this week (when i was introduced to this site). It has already made such a difference, i have lost over two pounds this week. I am aso an 18 but am hoping to be a 16-14 by the time my wedding comes. You can do it, i know i can

My gown was purchased in a size 10 but it has a corset back, my grandmother who will do the atlerations has said not to go lower than a size six, as it is all lace... I am currently about a 7/8 in dress sizing, so I can't loss to much more, looking to tone up I'm 5'8 so I don't want to go to small that I look too skinny... still want some curves

Hi everyone!! I am getting married June 9, 2012 in Destin, Florida! We have been together for almost 10 years now and engaged for 1.5 years! The moment we got engaged I started my weight loss and have now lost over 100lbs!!!! I ordered my dress(it's a Maggie) last October in a 14, which is what fit, and my goal was not to order over a 12, but with the corset backing they said it was better to be safe than sorry!! I have my dress fitting in April and I have already lost 30lbs since I ordered my dress!! The guy told me it would be ok and not to loose too much more before I have my dress fitting to make sure that if I loose anymore after the dress won't be too big!! I started at over 300lbs and I am finally under 200lbs!! I would like to loose another 20lbs before the wedding if possible!! Though the closer this wedding gets the more stressed out I seem to be getting and the more snacks I want to be eating!!! Congrats to all you other brides out there!!

thats so totally true, i was shocked when i was told i fit an 18 which absolutly devasted me but then ive tried 18 in a regular dress and its way too big

Hi everyone! This is my very first post. I have been on mfp for a while but I am just now getting really serious about it. My wedding is set for 11/3/2012 and I would like to be in a size 12 or 14 by then. I currently wear a 18. I think it can be done! Good Luck to everyone.

My goal is to drop 40-50 pounds in 103 days (my wedding is July 1st, 2012). I've put it off for far too long and I can't let the stress get me down or make me procrastinate any longer.

My dress has already come in and it pretty much fits. It is a little too big so I have to get alterations anyway so I'm trying to lose while I can! I know it sounds strange, but my biggest goal is to get sexy toned arms for my strapless gown.
