Final fitting picture. My dress was made for me, so didn't have any pictures of it previously!

Only a few weeks for us guys. Yeaaaa for our weddings! Now to make sure I look the best I can. No junk food, lots of water, and keeping up some exercise so that my butt looks less couch-shaped and more va-va-vooom in the wedding dress. Time to kick *kitten*. Fingers crossed. xxx

Well I failed my challenge. I'm exactly where I was. :sad: Still, it's the final 4 weeks before my wedding now, and I've decided to go hardcore and get my ticker to say "14 lbs to go" OR ELSE!! Grrrrrrrrrrrrr, EYE OF THE TIGER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I will be on here every frickin' day now, until I see that little old…

Anybody got a dress *flash* to show the other brides? I've got a seamstress making mine, so there will be no photos for about a month. At the moment it's just a corset being overlaid with lace. Am thinking it would be nice to add some sparkle, so would love to see others' dresses for inspiration as to how mine might be…

Late May as well, ladies ! Have been totally on / off the diet plan for ages now. Am trying to focus now, being that it's merely a few weeks to go, but frankly I'm still struggling. Will log every day and will attempt to do more exercise, but I've now entered panic-mode tbh :(
-
I'm in. Goal: 4 lbs off by the end of April. I've been rubbish at holding myself accountable in the last few months. Need to do this NOW, as only 8 weeks til the wedding!
-
So excited for you PugsleyJean!! Glad you feel happy and comfortable in the dress - can't wait to see the picture next month!! x
-
Good luck on the scale mfcarley! :flowerforyou: I am annoyed at mine....it should consider itself lucky that it didn't go for a short trip out the window this morning ! I was an angel this week food-wise, and yet no change at all weight-wise. My ticker tape is still hiding the fact that I'm a couple of pounds up on that…
-
...your weighing scales battery runs out on the day you mean to weigh-in. Dammit !
-
With 4 months to go I've started having wierd wedding-related dreams. They never go well, things are always a bit rubbish in them. Highlights of last night's dream (or lowlights, as it were), were that the photographer forgot to take any pictures, absolutely no one said I or my dress looked nice (I was really upset about…

This is a really odd phenomena isn't it? "Oh my, you've lost a lot of weight!.....Well you really must start doing xyz diet, it's amazing". If it's noticeable that someone's lost weight, clearly what they are doing is already working!!!!! This doesn't make sense, but we all hear it so frequently, why?!?!?!

To Predsfan2013 and ischmelle, I'd totally agree with you that a well-meaning fiance, or kindly coworker can test your patience when it comes to the unhealthy foods. I've been on the wrong end of that a few times recently. But, you now what I've started to find MORE annoying in the last couple of weeks? The fact that my…

Co-workers can be the worst! At least your other half has a vested interest in trying to support you before the wedding!
-
Isn't it annoying when you do careful calculations to leave yourself exactly the right amount of calories to have a couple of glasses of wine with friends,,,, but then following the wine, you lose all your resolve and tuck into pizza slices with everyone else? :explode:
-
Have you had people tell you "Don't lose any more weight" too, as well as rolling their eyes? I've now had that a couple of times, when I'm still 20 lbs over the top end of the 'healthy weight range' (BMI).
-
LOL at that. Don't even have to seeeee the tasty stuff to want to cave in. Smell can be enough!
-
Isn't it annoying when.... Your partner goes to get a McDonald's meal, and decides to bring you some Chicken Nuggets "just to pick at" when you already said you want NOTHING ! Jeeez. I have no will power once something is in front of me :explode:
-
Unfortunately you are just dictated to by whatever scale you have! It's hard to ignore a number once it's in front of you. My scale weighs to the 1/4 lb, which I have always found ridiculous. I'd rather have one that rounds up weight to the nearest 1/2 lb I think. MFP seems to round my entries up to .3 and .8 when I log…
-
Ditto. FAJITAS: Now I wasn't so silly as to add guacolme or sour cream or cheese, but I didn't realise they were anywhere near as calorific until I logged the ingredients on MFP. I was using tortillas that were 200 cal each, plus oil to cook the chicken and veg. Having 3 fajitas, I was coming in way over 1000 cal for a…

Glad you narrowed yours down to 2 dresses PugsleyJean - sounds like a successful trip to David's Bridal!! Although it will be damn tough to finally get down to one! It's taken me 3 weeks of mulling it over, changing my mind repeatedly, to finally get round to biting the bullet.... ...So, the big announcement is that I'm…
-
Hi Suuvarok I did find that it was only the more pricey shop that really put the pressure on! Plus, they seemed to be trying to talk me into buying a dress that didn't match what I wanted, and looked pretty horrible on me, by telling me all about these "fabulous" alterations they could do - no doubt for more money! The…

Given your fiance's mom is against the idea, it sounds like it may be too much for her if her son is mentioned in the speeches or toasts. Perhaps she fears becoming overwhelmed if there is any public reference to him, or fears upsetting anyone on a happy day?. If this is likely, perhaps a tribute that is more of a…

Wow, 'Deja_Thoris' that is a totally awesome idea! Love love love this :love: I hope it serves you well over the coming months! Shell x
-
Hi there Pugsleyjean and Suuvarok, Thanks for replying :flowerforyou: My dress shopping went better than expected, as many of sample dresses either fitted me, or 'almost' did, so I could get a vague idea as to what I liked and hated! That being said, I have to agree with you Suuvarok - it was very very hard to get a feel…
-
Two days to go, until the 15 week countdown begins.... Eeeeeekkkk !!!
-
My first dress shopping trip is this weekend, and I'm barely half way through the weight loss plan. Really really really dreading it !! Anyone else about to bite the bullet and try on some dresses? x
-
Arwww honey, You do sound stressed! Were you logging your food and doing weigh-ins when you gained the 15 lb? I'm wondering whether your comfy home-making period meant that you stopped paying as much attention to your diet? I have to say that my weight seems to creep up as well, if I stop paying attention! With regard to…
-
Arwww these two dresses are lovely - you are both very lucky ladies, who are going to look gorgeoussssss on the day! x
-
Hmmmm, that date struck a chord for me too - I also have my first appointments scheduled for in 36 days time! I've been making slow steady progress, but didn't really start this early enough sadly! However, it would be great if I could lose another 8 lb or so by the deadline.... I think I'd feel more confident entering the…

Some people love the idea of making a lifestyle change, and will keep motivated because of this. For others, we need targets to reach rather than looking at the long year ahead. Ladies often use something like their wedding or the date of an upcoming vacation (swimsuit fear) as a goal to keep focussed - for say 3 months,…
