Thanks Predsfan, I appreciate the info about corsetted dresses. I'm more pear-shaped myself, but I think from what you and Sem9787 have both said, the corset-backed dress is the way to go if I am hoping to lose 15LB after the dress purchase. It seems to have a bit more natural flexibility for sizing! Yes, it will be great…

Hi kts988, My brain gets fried looking at your ticker! So are you edging towards a total of 120 lbs lost now? Or is 120 your goal weight? Either way, it's fabulous that you're feeling motivated, and are keeping your eye on mid-September. I've also got my eye on September for dress shopping, and having that date in mind has…

I'm glad you're feeling optimistic :happy: It looks like we're getting married in the same month, and have both lost the same amount of weight so far! I've been trying much harder for the last 4 -5 weeks now. Had a couple of bad weeks, but a few good ones, so am also starting to feel optimistic too ! I also had one person…

Hey there, thanks TinaMGib, I have started booking some bridal store appointments now for September, which is 7 clear months before the wedding, so it sounds like that will be ok then! Yes the more I think about it, the more I'm leaning towards that lace-up back. I think I will completely jinx myself if I order a smaller…

Thanks sem9787, I guess alterations would be possible with 15lb weight loss (aim) then, as that's probably not even a whole dress size, right? Thanks - I'll definitely ask the staff when I'm looking at different dress types. Same as you though - I like the idea of a cinched-in middle, as it really is the only bit of me…

Hi sem9787, Both you and 'Predsfan' mentioned corset-back dresses.... After I eventually order my dress, I'd be hoping to still lose another 15 lb before the wedding. Would you guys both advise that I find a corset-back dress in my current size at time of trying it on, and if so, would I just be able to pull it tighter if…

Well done 'geddyp' !!! You reached that goal super-early as well by the looks of it ! Congrats on fitting into your dress.... with room to spare! :) And a hello to 'Predsfan' - I haven't been as brave as you and have steered clear from dress shopping so far. As my 2014 spring wedding is starting to loom though, I've had to…

I'm totally nervous about going dress shopping, and am putting it off until I lose....well.... 20lb hopefully. However, I'm aware that time is running out for that. I've been told that most dresses have to be ordered at least 6 months before the wedding. Is that right?

Nice to meet you all; I'm Michelle and live on the south coast of the UK, and am getting married in April 2014. I figure this group will be a good motivator for me, and stop me boring all my friends with talks of wedding diets when they couldn't give a darn! Hopefully I'll see some interesting threads being started off -…

That's fab Kannh89 - if you go to Community, then Groups, and then do a search for the Group name, you'll be able to join. My wedding is also in May, so looking at the same target!

Looking at your diet and exercise regime, I'm pretty impressed, looks like a healthy plan ! Taking the last week as an example, you seem to eat over your fat quota, so it looks like if you cut out the nuts and keep an eye on the oil you'll be where you want to be. Going over on the fat quota is possible the worse bit to go…
