Re: The Official Big girls thread!!!

hi everyone :)
I have been reading your posts and you are so funny! I have been going to WW all my life and so far this time, I have lost about 30 lbs. Not enough considering I have a lot more to go and FH lost 100!
Where is Blums that you are all talking about? i need a good fat sucker too! I ordered my dress a size smaller and while it will fit, I am afraid it won't look good!
Thanks so much for making me laugh !

Re: The Official Big girls thread!!!

Also, I looked on Alight.com. . . I saw a dress I may want to order for my bridal shower. I don't know what size to get. Has anyone ordered from them? What are the dresses like?
Thanks!

I bought a jean skirt from Alight. I ordered the size I am in , and it was just a little too tight. I had to lose some weight to get in it. I recommend getting a size larger. I am not sure if it;s all their clothes. but to be on the safe side.
Good Luck !!!

Speaking of FAT SUCKERS has anyone tried the store Blum's??? Someone told me they have plus sizes or show i say sizes for the Queens



I went to Blums and they do have Fat Suckers they have up to 2X.
It's so nice to that there are other Plus Size Brides.....



We're Big and Beautiful!!!!!!!!




I think that I will be headingto Blums one of these days to get myself a fat sucker. Do you know if they have strapless bras that aren't underwire.

Re: The Official Big girls thread!!!

Good morning lovely ladies!! My name is Gabi, and I want to weigh less than my FH!!


I too, am a chubby wifey [to be] but am working hard to lose as much weight as I can before the wedding. Last year I lost about 40 lbs on Jenny Craig, but then got engaged in August, started eating ice cream every night and went out to a lot of dinners, and gained back 30 lbs!

So, a little over 4 weeks ago, I started WW Core and the Couch to 5K running plan and I am down 10 lbs!! Less than 6 months to go... Then I can finally eat!! Yay!! It's great so see all of you girls helping out with advice, humor and acceptance!!

Have a great day girls!! You are all gorgeous!!

Thanks Christy!! I've been on WW a few times and it has worked in the past, so I figured I'd do it again. Jeny Craig was great but I got sick of the food!

Yay! Another September bride!! It's like the new June! And I love the Log Cabin HM idea!! And your home is beautiful!! Do you live in TN?

WW was good. I just went into my comfort zone with FH but I had lost 117 on it. Nutrisystem was good to. 23 in a month. But you should have seen FH's face after the allergic reaction hit. Poor think looked like he had this horrible disease.

September brides rock. I also wanted Sept because it's not as hot and I won't sweat all my make-up off. We actually rent log cabins for weekends sometimes and I am never more relaxed. But this cabin is in Pigeon Forge where we are getting married and we get it for 2 weeks. So excited. Thank you about my home. We moved in a few months ago. So much work to do. Makes me tired just thinking about it. No I do not live in TN. I am actaully in Woodstock, GA. It's on the outskirts of Atlanta.
