I am going to be ordering my dress in couple of weeks - my hope is by the time the dress will return to really look good on me and not make me look FAT. I wear between 18 or 20 depending on the store. Now I want to be 14-16 by my wedding day and I believe I can do it!

hey ladies, i am also getting married in August. i had to get my gown in a 14 and i was mortified... then i came to the realization that the sizing is definitely different on gowns than your regular size. so dont be discouraged by the number!0

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

I'm about 153 right now-- when I got engaged I was 161, and my goal is to be below 145! My dress has been ordered and it's a size 8. The goal is to rock it!0

Hi Everyone! I'm getting married in Auguest as well! August 19th to be exact. I'm trying to get my body back in pre-baby, though to be honest pre-meeting my fiance (he's a foodie like me... great for my tummy, not for my weight), size. As I've already bought all my bridesmaids their dresses (and they all fit exactly) I have no one to lose weight with
. I've gone ahead and ordered my dress and I hope to be at my goal weight before it arrives so I can just be in maintance after alterations! 0 -
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!!0

Wow luvvbugg3! Sounds like you've made amazing progress! I hope to have as much will power as you have!0

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 big0

Yea, wedding dress sizes are about two sizes bigger then normal sizes depending on the dress maker :P. You would think they would do it in the other direction to make brides feel good about their purchase... lol!0

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.0

Hey ladies!! A wedding is a great motivator isn't it? I am getting married on June 8th and want to drop 15 before them.. I've lost 3 since I've started the site 2 weeks ago and now 12 more to go!! St. Lucia for the honeymoon.. want to look fabulous in that bikini!0
-
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.0

im getting married 9/29/12... Ive already got my dress and it fit good when i picked it up.. Im hoping to lose some weight so they have to take it in.. it would make me feel better! I got it at Davids Bridal and they said they can alter them down 2 sizes! Even after the wedding i want to continue to lose weight so that Im healthy and in better shape when we have kids! Ive got so much to look forward to in life and i want to be around for a long time! Congrats to all you other brides, its such an exciting time in life!0
-
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.0

My goal is 115, it's been super hard losing weight...but 20lbs will make a big diffrences since I'm so short (%'3). I'm down 10lbs already and have 10more to go. I'm getting married in Gulf Breeze...(yeah Luvgirl for panhandle brides!!!)0
