Hey, I forgot about this site and just got an email today! I haven't been on here in about a year and I think its really wierd that I found this thread. I am getting married on May 31st (this year) trying to loose a little weight (more for the honeymoon) but I am having trouble .. just at a plataue. I have been eating smaller portions and exercising 3X a week for about a month and have lost 5lbs. Not bad but I would like to loose about 7-10 more. I have my dress and its being altered right now so I can't loose to much but I need to tone a lot!! anyway good luck to all of you in this thread and I am so glad I found this!
It funny how you find the sweetest little places when you aren't looking. Hope you enjoy our little wedding nook. Its a fun little diversion. Good luck on your impending wedding bliss!

Hey yogabootygirl! I'm pretty much in the same situation as you! I forgot about the site and remembered about it again. I'm getting married this July and want to lose about 10 pounds and tone up! I lost some a while back but i've been stuck for what seems like forever. Good luck and maybe we can motivate each other!

It's been over a month since I posted too. I never got around to posting that I got officially engaged on valentines day, hooray! There is a proposal story on my wedding website for those interested: Laura and David Wedding WebSite.
I haven't lost any weight the last month either. I thought I was losing, but then I went on birth control and I think I gained a couple pounds because of it. Did anyone else gain weight from birth control pills? I was also sick this month, and stopped exercising. I need to get back with it!!! Only 3.5 months left for me too. More like 3 months 1 week.

I've been on them for so long, I can't say whether or not it plays a role in my weight anymore. However, a friend of mine just went off the pill and she lost about 10lbs. She's not dieting or anything, and thinks the pill has something to do with it...

I started on Yaz this fall and it hasn't affected my weight at all. It's a diuretic though and may help some people lose weight. I think it's different for every person and also every pill.

I'm new to this site, and I'm glad there are other brides to be here! I hope to lose 85 pounds overall, but would like to lose at least a little of it by my wedding on August 2.
Any good strapless dress exercises I can add to my cardio routine? My biggest problem area is right above my bust.

Do you need to wait until you have lost all the weight you want before getting your dress fitted? I am only about half way there weight loss wise, but I want to get started on the alterations. any thoughts?
bridetobe....... push ups are great for the chest area..... or bench press!

I would wait longer. You still have some time! I'd worry that you'd lose a lot of weight and the alterations would have to be redone, at extra cost. I'd wait until 6 or 4 weeks away from the wedding. But that's me. My dress isn't even going to come into the store until 4 weeks before my wedding! I'm nervous about it--but they said that everything will be fine and that is plenty of time for alterations.

I am so joining this club! I am getting married in 10 weeks. It's not even the wedding I'm focused on as much as the honeymoon. I am working my butt off to lose weight right now and I'm so glad I found this site (and this group)! We can all do this!!!

I am so excited! I have lost another ten pounds since I bought my dress. My dress is back at my parents house (over 12hrs away), so I haven't seen it since I bought it in February. I'm heading home in two weeks, so I will get to try it on again and see how it fits now.
Welcome Tropical sun!
