kdolfi7, we are twins!!
Start Weight: 151.6
Goal Weight: 135
Wedding Date: October 2012
My mom is a seamstress, so we are designing and making my dress (sketch to come soon!). I am her only daughter though, so we thought it might be fun to do the whole trying-on-dresses thing. So on Jan 17th, my mom, fiance, brother, and sis-in-law are headed to a super swanky (waaaaay out of my price range) salon to try on dresses. It might be fun? Maybe? Not sure? Definitely going to need some Spanxx! Sample sizes are ridiculous!
Omg I totally know what you mean. I bought my dress at a small and very snotty boutique and all the dresses were size 0-4
made me feel so big. Seriously, probably 10% of the population wears sizes 0-4. I still found a dress I love, I just hope it looks good on me when it comes in (7 sizes bigger then what I tried on lol)
Good luck to you. Just try to have fun with it!!!0 -
I am so excited about this group!

So many times in the past several years I have thought: "Now I have 3 months to lose x pounds by x date for [insert big event]." Next thing I knew said big event was around the corner and I still had my back rolls. I refuse to let this happen for the wedding! I am bound and determined to get there at a healthy pace. My friend at work got me to join this site so I don't have any other "friends" yet and would love to get to know more people to help support each other at such exciting times!
YAYYY ladies! We can do this.

yay!
So, I have no idea what dress size I am, I want to go dress shopping mid-February though. My fiance's sister is getting married in April and when she went to get her dress the lady asked about dieting and said in her experience about 20 lbs is a dress size. I thought that was interesting.0 -
What a roller coaster this has been. I can't seem to stick with a regimen! I am so good for a week or two and then I blow it and find it really hard to jump back into counting calories and working out like crazy. I "worked out" tonight but really I just walked uphill on the treadmill for 33 minutes at a 4.0 pace, using weights the entire time. Then I got bored....and the treadmill said I only burned about 200 calories. So, what did I do, I wound up eating way too many carbs when I got home! I am so angry at myself and can't seem to stay 100% focused-I tend to crave sweets. Anyone who has a good remedy for stopping this vicious cycle please let me know!
On a side note, I received a message from someone on here, I think, and accidentally deleted it. I checked it on my phone email and also didn't get to read it, so if you read this (whomever you are!) I apologize for not responding-feel free to email again.
Thanks!0 -

Quite a while before the big day but don't want to have to rush the diet weeks before. Started trying on dresses but my heart wasn't in it because I knew it wasn't what I wanted to look like. Going to wait a while til I try any more on.0 -

Start weight : 104kg
Currect weight : 107kg - I had a really bad holiday season
Goal weight : 65kg
Wedding : April 6 2013
First Dress fitting : Going looking in June 2012
I tried on a couple of dresses while I was on holiday and while it was kind of amazing the whole 'wow, this thing is getting real' it did make me realise how much weight I have to lose before I look properly. My main problem is a lack of motivation and willpower to eat properly and exercise all the time. So once I get those under control, I should do better.0 -
