As someone who sells bridal gowns I can tell you that on average (depends on the designer of course) 10 pounds is 1 inch. How many inches short are you from closing? I would suggest having the seamstress put in a corset. Plus, usually there is about 1 inch give in most of the dresses to let out. As someone who is getting…

Once the warm weather rolls around I become a dress at the office wearer for sure. HIGHLY recommend dresses for comfort!!

I second the nice cami under the smaller blouse and buttons undone (tastefully!!!!)

Out of the 6 or so brands I have tried, I find my Old Navy high waist compression capris are the only ones that don't roll down during workouts.

@motibvatedsister this is not AT ALL scientific or (probably) accurate but the general rule for wedding dresses is 10 lbs = 1 inch. Of course, everyone is different but that is just what we say when asked by brides.

As of Friday I was in Onederland!! Haven't been there since 2013 and before then I am pretty sure I was in college the last time that happened. I've lost 42 lbs since my highest and 28.2 since the beginning of the year. :

Hippie Runner. Once you get it placed on your head correctly it isn't going anywhere. I also have VERY fine/slippery hair. They have passed the running, weight lifting and Insanity/Shaun T tests!

Banana, PB2 water and ice in a blender/ninja. Every morning.

Weighted squats! I started at the beginning of the year. I can't GET OVER that I actually have a butt now. I find myself grabbing it every once in a while because I'm so in awe! :wink: I have always had a pancake butt but it is on its way to being beautiful and full. I can't believe I just wrote that down in a public place…

I was walking my dog about 3 years ago and while crossing the street (I had the right of way to do so), a bunch of teenage guys rolled down their window and yelled "Get out of the street, cow, MOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO" That random 2 second incident by a bunch of strangers has really stuck with me. I wasn't even at my heaviest…

It might sound crazy, but of the dozens of brands I've tried, Old Navy is my favorite. The don't ride up or roll down and they are very durable with the constant washing.

I actually work at a bridal salon on the weekends and bought my dress from there. I ordered at the end of November and have since lost like 30 lbs. Each designer's size chart is different. You won't want to wait too long to lose more because, like you said, it takes 6-8 months. I would say order it when you can and just do…

Thanks, all!

AMAZING!!! Nice work! This is my first goal and I can't wait to see the "1" in front of that number soon! :smile:

My boobs. Of course, the one place I was content with the extra fat. That's always the first to go for me.

I'm going to look into this. Thanks for posting. Cigarettes here in Chicago are $14 a pack!

My wedding in Aruba. August 4, 2017. Want to not only look good in my wedding dress, but be able to wear a CUTE bathing suit while there instead of a old lady 1920s suit covering every inch it can! :wink:

Wine and weekends.

My resting heart rate has dropped from 84 to 62! That means I'm getting healthier, right? :smiley:

I purchased my wedding dress at the end of November. Didn't actually start getting back on track for the weight loss thing until after the new year. Last weekend (3/4) they measured me (I work weekends at the bridal salon) and I am already down 2 sizes from the size of the dress I ordered. The goal is to have the…

Here is our before and "during". We're getting married in August and are both currently smaller than our engagement picture (taken in September), but we feel we have a long way to go! Pushing hard in different ways. He is VERY strict with his food and only eats the same thing every day and works out at a gym. I watch my…

Well, I placed the order in December. You know how long it takes those wedding dresses to come in...hoping they have to take it in at least 3 sizes by the time I start my fittings in July!
-
I hope to have some soon! I get married in August. Down 17.4 lbs so far this year. SOOOOOOO many more lbs to go but I am extremely motivated for them to have to take my dress in several sizes! :smiley: Good luck!

I have it every morning in my shake. And the taste is the same as regular PB (even kid approved). The directions on the jar are NOT accurate as far as making creamy PB from it, but you get the hang of how much to add after a few times.

Thank you for this post. Beautiful!

Can I please be added? I'm 33 and have, oh, I dunno, 60 lbs to lose, 70 or 80 would probably be better! Want to get it in gear in 2017
