arm circles complete!!

Hey, i just saw this! I wouldn't worry too much about the dress, you can always have a corset back put it if it's too snug or too open in the back once "the girls" are in there!

I get home from work pretty late so dinner is usually light. I LOVE making big salads loaded with fruits, veggies and sometimes chicken. Yummy, low calorie and that big bowl is certainly deceiving-makes me feel like a ate a ton!

Hi Everyone! I'm a mom of two boys, the little one will be two in May and the big one, who is autistic will be five in July. I FINALLY lost weight and got healthy when I got pregger's with No. 1. I gained almost 70 pounds during my first pregnancy and lost all but 20 before becoming pregnant with # 2 (with whom I gained…

Laura, your post made me pick up a class schedule thing at the gym today. I think I might make an appointment with a trainer just to get some direction with a routine to target my problem areas. Wow, Donna... two weeks!! that IS exciting! seems as though you're the first of us to go down the aisle, I can't wait to see some…
-
My Goodness Katey!! How do you find the time, lol!! Miss Aurora, Those meal plans do sound nice, sometimes I'm my worst enemy. I'm just so tired and something "good" to eat is more work to put together than something "bad" right out of the package. Oddly enough, I don't have any problems resisting treats at work (okay,…

Hey Smack, Miss Aurora's right, don't stress about a little bit of weight. You're going to look gorgeous whatever size you are! Just keep plugging along and remember, your honey loves you whatever size you are and you should be super proud of the weight you have lost!
-
Aurora I love her dress! Its going to look lovely with coral roses! BBtano Im sure your SILs can work it out, although i do agree the party dress might not be ideal since youre wearing a train. Maybe you should just give them a swatch, a picture of your gown and your prefered length and set them off to shop. And you're…

Hi BBtano! Welcome to the board, I'm sorry to hear about all the grieving in your families. I'm sure your wedding will provide everyone with some much needed joy! I'm a first time bride in my 30s who was a single mom when I met Michael. I, too had resigned to live single (and possibly celibate lol) forever. I was lucky…
-
Yea, I love that it has the "seat belt" hahaha!
-
Hahahaha, that's hysterical Katey! I guess we have more in common than we knew! Good choice on your dress, lol! Miss Aurora, it's my boobs (and rib cage) that interfere with the dress zipping up, which is okay because i REAAAAALLY wanted a corset backed dress. I just love what a corset does for your figure -plus it's a…

I'm in!!
-
VERY cute! and, yea, that IS weird
-
We are trying to keep it low key AND keep costs down. We're are doing BBQ in a historic barn AND (gasp) allowing children to come, you should have seen my step mother's face lol! Miss Aurora is right, do what you want, it's YOUR wedding
-
Goodness, there are SO MANY ideas out there! I'm kind of digging the hot air balloon DIY centerpiece, floral centerpieces are just waaaaay too much $$. Basically it's a potted, flowering plant in a little weaved pot. You make the netting for a helium balloon to sit inside the netting and VOI LA! I also saw ones made from…
-
Katey, I actually did my first round of dress shopping in January, I went alone because I was worried it would go "bad" (ie: i'd be all bummed about looking like Miss Piggy in a white dress lol.) At the moment I'm kind of torn between two dresses but have now enlisted a friend from work to come with me (this monday!) so I…
-
YAY!!
-
Katey, I'm starting to freak out a bit too, I'm just under the six month mark so i NEED to get my dress ordered but I'm freaking about what size I'll be, how much alterations will cost and wth will my arms look like. So, yea, you're not alone in freaking out... I just try to remind myself my FH loves me as I am, fat or…
-
I heard cardio is the secret to getting rid of batwings (which makes sense since i HATE cardio.) Strength training tones and builds muscle but unless you uncover that muscle by getting fid of the fat deposits... well you're right where you started..
-
Feeling pretty good, lost ten pounds since mid january when I went to do my first round of dress trying. Going to try and totally push myself this month to get some max results since i'm nearing the point where I need to order a dress!
-
i ADORE these dresses Miss Aurora!! They'e cute and beautiful!
-
awesome job!
-
I would avoid the scale for a while... it simply IS just a number and eating healthy reaps more rewards than just losing weight. Your weight may not change but your muscle/fat ratio may, or the actual measurements of your figure may change (for the better, of course!) Plus, as women, our weight fluctuates A LOT (biology is…

Hello Everyone! I'm getting married September 7th THIS YEAR! The urgency of it has kind of just hit me, lol, even though we got engaged LAST Christmas. Future Hubby & I are trying to lose as much weight as possible between then and now. I have about 70 lose altogether, but making it halfway there by September would make me…
-
Way to go BioHeil!
-
GuinessStella, I think you can lose a considerable amount of your goal weight before the wedding, although your goal might be more than your dress can be altered. I've had some trouble letting go of the weight and really committing to my diet, which seems like something we have in common. I put on weight instead of losing…
-
THANK GOD I'm not the only one!! I kept sabotaging my diet with the "why bother?" mentality. I was skinny for like 5 seconds before #1, I lost 70 lbs and BAM, gained a bunch of it back during pregnancy. I know the thinner i start out for baby #3, the better off we'll both be but it's still kind of a bummer
-
I made my first foray into dress shopping yesterday! I was nervous thinking it could go (very) poorly but i was pleasantly surprised, the trip actually made me feel pretty good. Not only am i relieved to know i still have some time before i HAVE to make a decision, thus have more time to lose weight but i felt pretty good…
-
the almond milk idea is something i am going to have to try!! Thus far I just treat my "fancy" coffee as a treat (ie: i get one..if i need more coffee it's just skim milk!)
-
So, other than szimba, anyone else start dress shopping? I'm starting to think I need to get moving on the dress business, since they seem to take ages to arrive on order. what are the rest of you ladies doing? Buying now and altering later or waiting until the 11th hour?
