Ok im getting married in 2009. I have tried exerciseing and actully i am currently using hydrozycut which helps boost my energy and has actully helpped me drop the inches.. But thats whre i am stuck.. I have lost inches in my waist, my butt and theighs the only thing is i havent lost any weight in pounds.. I was wondering if any one knows why this is happening and how i can change it. If you could please help me i would creatly appreciate it.....

I'm getting married on 11th October this year. We decided to finally tie the knot on 29th February, so I've been dieting since then. So far I've lost 16lbs, but there's still some way to go.

Melanie.

luciouslemon, that is awesome!! That is a great way to tell that you are losing inches! Im so jealous...

Wow your dress if fitting beautifully!! Well done on your success!!

What a great thread!

I'm not getting married until 2010 (well, we're young!), but I already have my dress... it was a gift from a friend: she bought it on sale at a whim (and at $30, who wouldn't?), but it was vetoed by her mum. It doesn't fit me at all though... it's two sizes too big! So while we have to get it altered anyway, I'm looking to drop ten kilos so I look great in it!

k guys the wedding is over........ but here is a pic!

I guess I can be added to the list of brides to be! I started my weight loss before getting engaged. But this has just amped me up even more. We aren't getting hitched until March of 2009 so I have PLENTY of time and NO EXCUSES to not be at my goal weight by then.

Wow, liddieloo, you look great! Congratulations!

Madness, hello! I want to be at my goal weight at the same time as you: but for graduation, not for my wedding! The ring is a WAY bigger motivation though!

Im a newb, and Im glad I found this thread!
My wedding is October 4, 2008 and I am contractually obligated to lose 50 lbs! (Im under medical supervision--dont try this for fun on your own!) My journey is being documented by an unnamed cable network for a television special. (A classier way of saying Im on a reality show.)

How many dress sizes do you think 50 lbs is?
Darn wedding gowns for being so difficult to size!

Liddieloo, Congrats!!! You look wonderful. Now on to newlywed bliss!

Welcome to all the new faces in here. Welcome Pancake, Madness and RealityBride. Keep us posted on how things are going. I love to hear good news!

RealityBride--its hard to say. It all depends on where you hold your weight (dresses are sized according to your largest measurement). If you look on line, you can see the actual measurements for each size. This may help a bit. My dress has a corset tied back instead of a zipper, which is great because it gives you about two sizes of flexibility. I have lost about 40lbs now and I would guess that I have gone down from around a 16 when I first tried dresses on to somewhere around a 10/12 now. I'm around 5'4" and now about 142. The amount of dress sizes you change might be different if you are taller, shorter, or starting out heavier or smaller...etc. Im curious about "contractually obligated", though. Care to share how the show arrived at the 50lbs or what happens if you don't make it?



Update: So I am almost at my goal weight (2.6lbs away). I will be trying my dress on again when I hit it. Then I'll see how things look. I might need it taken in! Hard to believe...when I bought it in February I was 20lbs heavier and it was just a teensy bit snug! I posted pictures a little while ago, 10lbs heavier. I can't wait to see what it looks like, now.

Holy crap! Way to go lusciouslemon! That's some great weight loss!

I hate buying dresses. I have big hips and a small waist. I always have to have things tailored.

I'm probably not going to wear a dress for the wedding though. I'm going to let my fiance decide (he's never even seen me in a dress!). We are going super casual - backyard wedding, etc. He did say the other day that he wants me to wear something sleek and sexy though so I'm thinking dress now.
