    Just finished a workout with the kids. So yeah a silly but fun workout. I'd say I burned 200 cals but that's just a guess. I feel great though and that's what matters most.

    I'm challenging myself to jump on my mini trempoline for a total of 4 minutes for 4 days. 1 done 3 to go. Then I will add a minute for 5 days and so on. This should help kick start my weight loss. I will do other things of course but that's going to be a daily workout.

    Hope everyone is having a good day!

    I'd love to join in as well! I'm the matron of honor in my sister-in-law's on September 15th. I've tried dresses on at David's Bridal and found the one I want, but am not going to order yet! I want to see how much I can lose before needing to get it ordered! Saleslady said absolutely last week to order would be first week in July...I'm thinking I am going to order it mid June. I tried a size 8 on and it fit almost perfect...I had some major back fat going on though. I would love to be able to go down to a size 6, but I would be happy at a comfortable 8 as well! Still smaller than what I wore before! Need to find ways to tone up my thunder thighs, as the dress is cocktail length...so it's an inch or so above my knee. I usually avoid anything above my knee, but I am also using it as a challenge!

    What are you girls doing to help in your weight loss? I've been at it since January and have lost 15lbs, but I haven't lost anything in the last month. Seems like the process it going so much slower than I had hoped! I was eating at 1200 cal/day and exercising, cardio, 5-6 times per week. Just this week I've since upped my cal/day to 1400 and exercising (cardio, C25K, and jillian's ripped in 30) 5-6 times per week. We'll see if that helps, they are saying eat more to lose more...hopefully that will give my metabolism a jolt!

    Height: 5'3"
    SW: 175lbs
    CW: 159.8lbs
    June GW: 145lbs
    Ultimate GW: 125lbs


    BTW, here is my dress. It would be in Lapis, a deep purple color...maybe one of you talented ladies can get it to work for me?! Thank you so very much!

    Let's do this!!!

    I ordered my bridesmaid's dress online after figuring out a size. It came LITERALLY two days later (didn't pay anything extra for faster shipping). Time wise it's more reliable than getting it in_store. Good luck!

    Another good workout done. Day 2 of my 4minutes trempoline challenge and some resistence band exercises. My pants already feel losse even though there's no difference on the scale. I can't wait for my wednesday weight in I'm sure there will be some good numbers then!

    Keep on working hard ladies, we can do it!

    Well, can a mother-of-the bride join? My daughter is getting married June 23. I ordered my dress in February but it is not due in until May 7. It should fit, but my goal is HOT mother-of-the bride, so I'll be hitting the gym extra hard.

    Of course we all have the same goal to look better in our dress for a wedding. Welcome and good luck with your goal.

    I have one more year until my wedding, so I'm in no rush, but would love to support you ladies!

    My wedding dress fit me perfectly when I bought it (at around 175lbs). I want to get down to around 136-140 - just hoping that they'll be able to take it in that much!

    :)

    Me too on all counts; getting married next year, and I don't plan to buy a dress that doesn't fit me because it's a LOT easier to take things in than take them out.

    Oh I agree, I bought my dress at the size I am now but I just want to lose weight and get it taken in. A coming wedding is one of the best motivator fo weight loss. :wink:

    Yay for all the effort, ladies!

    Regarding the back fat issue--I read that if you alter the back of your gown into a gentle downward curve instead of straight across, it eliminates the back fat issue--even skinny women have that problem sometimes.

    Lindsey, OMG your weight loss so far is amazing!!!

    I'm doing well...scale is stalled but I am not really that bummed because I am dropping inches like crazy and building a lot of muscle. Added pilates and an exercise balance ball into my strength training, LOVE it! And I am doing 45 mins a day of cardio. Today marks the beginning of week 6 for me. I feel really good. AND I've dropped 5" off my bust (SO HAPPY...hate my huge boobs!!!), 4" off my waist, 4.5" off my hips. Back in my size 10 Levis, now the hard work begins...I can't decide on a weight goal (somewhere between 25-40 more lbs) so I'm just going to see how I feel.

    happy Monday!

    Very nice kazzari, love the colour and the cross over, our bridesmaids is very close to this dress. My daughters wedding is november and i hate my arms so think i will have my shoulders covered.

    Thank you! Actually, while I do like that color, the color I ordered is a berry. This color was a little more formal than my daughter would have liked, so I went with berry. The bridesmaids are wearing pinks and lilac and my daughter is wearing a light pink sash.

    Have my bridal shower in June and aiming to lose 5kg by then. I've lost 10kg already. I'm soooo keen for a bridal group! We should share recipes and any workout routines.

    We got this! :happy:
  • I would enjoy joining this... but, I am the Mom of the bride. I so don't want to be the fat mom at the wedding.... no photo's of the dress yet, because I haven't found one. My daughters wedding is August 18th.... 20 pounds down and I'd like to lose at least another 30!

    I'm in! I'm a bridesmaid in my cousin's wedding on Sept 29 (yes I know it's a little late for 'summer' haha. I started Jan 13 weighing 270 and am currently down to 232...my plan is to lose as much as I can before her wedding, and more importantly before her bachelorette party in Vegas haha! We already had to order our dresses and I was pretty bummed when I had to order a 22...so now my goal is to get this thing chopped in half when I need to fit it haha here's the dresses:
