Yeah, every once in a while I'll look at a few dresses online, see the skinny chick wearing it, and wonder if it could look that good on me, too. (Then again, I'll never be that tan...my poor melatonin-challenged skin!) Regardless, it's definitely good motivation!

My freckles are the only parts that go brown. The rest just turns red! Good ol' tan in a bottle for me!
Its fun looking at dresses online, but it really doesn't give a good idea of what looks good on "normal people". After I tried on a bunch of dresses I got a better idea of what was a definite no-no and what was a possibility. Check out Maggie Sottero. Her dresses have to be the most flattering for women. And they fit the very very best (in my experience and from what I've heard). Her site is pure eye-candy if nothing else. I was fortunate to get one on a sample sale and it is so comfy. I ain't going to be falling out anywhere...LOL!

Funny you mention this designer. My fave dress so far is by her. I love love love it! Unfortunately, unless I find a sale, it seems to be out of my budget. I'm keeping my eye open for it though...just in case! Pic of the dress in case you'd like to see...
I love the gold color.

Rep Power: 42804 | | | That is gorgeous.
Yup, if it wasn't for a sample sale I would have been SOL. Though I really wanted a Maggie, I didn't think I would get one because of the $$$. Its funny to think that she is considered one of the more reasonably priced designers. I guess when some people spend 5 grand on a dress, 1 grand seems low. Not in my world however...
I tried not to set my heart on one particular dress because it would have been too hard to realize I couldn't afford it. Instead I had a vague idea of what kind of style I wanted but would pick a dress that was the right price and suited my body. The best thing is to remain open minded. There are thousands of gorgeous dresses out there... there never is only one perfect dress for a person.

Rep Power: 0 | | | 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!

<3 | 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.

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...

Rep Power: 0 | | | 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.

Hi all!
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. |
