I'm a bridesmaid for my cousins wedding on July 21th so I need to lose the weight before june 20th. So come on ladies join me and we'll get the motivation going. We'll do weekly weight ins and share daily victories. If you have a pic of the dress it could be cool to share. I'll look for mine.

I'll join! My wedding is Aug 25. I have my dress on order, I ordered it a size down and I'm already smaller than that, so I'm hanging tough. I'm on day 31 of a 100 day personal challenge (I just told myself to work out somehow every day, eat healthy etc--in essence do BETTER for 100 days straight) and I'm really happy with my progress. I just hope that they can take in my gown as much as they claim to be able to when it comes in this July or I'm going to be in trouble! LOL better that than the other way around.
This is my gown:
Obviously that's the model!
Funny thing--when I ordered smaller than I measured, my daughter was with me (she's 23) and the saleswoman pulled her aside and said, "are you SURE your mom will be able to drop a size by the wedding?"...my daughter just laughed and said, "oh man you don't know my mom--don't worry about it!"

GW: 158-168ish...need to see how I feel.

Looking forward to seeing your bridesmaid dress!0 -

Nope that didn't work either.0 -
just a suggestion... I as in a wedding this fall and when my dress came in couple weeks before and couldn't zip it up and they said they couldn't take it out (my guess is the sample in the store was stretched out a bit, as I had not gained any weight).
I did bikram yoga everyday for a month and not only got into the dress, but it was comfortable. I had only lost about 2lbs doing it, but the amount of tightening it did for a dress fitting was AMAZING.
Soo.... maybe not hot yoga, but I highly recommend doing some daily yoga for this particular goal. Good luck ladies and happy weddings!0 -
I'm in my brother's wedding party come June 23rd (they moved it up on me! it was supposed to be July 20!!!) and I have already gotten my bridesmaid's dress from David's Bridal. I was so disappointed when I went to try it on for the second time in store after losing 20 lbs--I was STILL an 18!
So my maniacal goal is to tailor the *crap* outta that dress. I'm hoping for another 15 pounds lost by the wedding photos. I want to look my best because these photos will be pulled out and put on display for years to come.
Let's DO THIS!0 -

fixed for you! you put [ img ] before, [ /img ] after (must be lowercase and without those spaces, I had to put spaces in to get it to show ) and you need the image address not the link. Pretty!0 -
