I love that dress too, but it was waaaay above my price range

My sister took me out shopping the day after I got engaged and that is one of the ones I tried on and soo fell in love with.

I found a strapless on at David's that I love just as much :) Can you believe I forgot to take a picture of the dress I actually bought - i will do it at my fitting though

Re: The Official Big girls thread!!!

Well girls, I have decided that I cannot do Atkins anymore! I had forgone bread, pasta, potatoes and all other carbs for 3 weeks and only lost 3 lbs!! I have 99 days left till my wedding [yay for DDs!] and I really want to lose some pounds, but I cannot do this anymore! It is not working!

So I guess it's back to the drawing board!! I need some hugs please. I am so discouraged! Last year I did Jenny Craig and lost like 35 lbs and after I got engaged, I gained almost all of it back since I stopped going!! I feel like I am going to be such a chubby bride!

Oh honey, don't stress yourself out over it

I understand wanting to be thinner for the wedding and pictures - I feel that way too, but I'm not allowing myself to expect anything.

It has taken me 5 years to lose 85lbs, my body just doesn't like to give up the weight

- I do Weight Watchers and run 3 days a week - it would be nice to be down a size by the wedding but at the rate I have been going I'll only be down about 5more lbs, oh well so it goes.

Enjoy the wedding planning and treat your body well, eat healthfully and exercise and the rest with follow ...eventually

Don't get yourself down!! You are a beautiful girl and will be a beautiful bride no matter what size you are!

I am right there w/ you and the whole diet thing!! I have been on a VERY RESTRICTIVE diet and still have only been losing 2-3 lbs in the last 2 weeks!
It can be frustrating, but if we stick to it in the long run it will pay off!!

Awww, sweetie, don't get down on yourself! You're in the DD's! This should be a special/exciting time for you. Try not to let anything take away from that! I know how you feel, it stinks. But I'm also sure that you're pouring a LOT of time & $ into one of the most memorable days of your life. Try to focus on your FH & the magic of your special day. You deserve to be happy, we ALL do!!!

Re: The Official Big girls thread!!!

Thanks girls. It is just so depressing!! I hate weighing more than my FH!! Ugh!! I get so discouraged when I look at the scale and it hasn't moved after I restrict myself so much. And I am sick and tired of shopping at Lane Bryant!! I guess I am just down in the dumps today.
