Re: The Official Big girls thread!!!
HI am a big girl but by sis is a bigger girl. She is not my MOH or BM but is still a MAJOR part of the wedding. She's about 300 to 320 lbs. I was wondering if anyone know where she can get a dress that doesn't make her look old. Many plus size formal wear looks really dowdy. She is only 23!TIA

Re: The Official Big girls thread!!!
check out www.venusbridal.com. They can make most of those dresses any size. If you like them just find a store locator to find a retailer near you

Re: The Official Big girls thread!!!
Ooh I wanna join! My name is Kristin and I am a plus-sized bride and I haaate it! Definitely jealous of all you girls who love what you've got, but I am seriously insecure about my body. I guess the fact that I live in Europe where most people are skinny and its incredibly hard to find nice and trendy plus-sized clothes doesn't help.I lost about 50 lbs over the past few years and gained back like 10 over Christmas and I still haven't lost it...not sure what my problem is...just haven't been able to get back on track I guess. But I am DETERMINED to lose atleast 25lbs before the wedding! I like sports so once the weather gets nice again FH and I will start playing tennis and soccer like we do every summer and the weight will come off.
And My FH is skinny...makes me feel even more like a blob when he complains about his little beer belly grrr.

Re: The Official Big girls thread!!!
I am going to be a plus sized bride. I never thought I was going to be... I was small when I met FH - but various things have led me to get bigger and bigger and bigger. The doctor said I would lose weight really quickly after I stopped the last cycle of meds in February... but I haven't even lost 5lbs yet!
Oh well. I am still marrying a great guy and I can't wait!

You can try David's Bridal, they have some really nice stuff there and most of their dresses go up to a size 24. I also found a website called Plus Size Bridal.com. If I find anything else I will let you know.

I actually did WW a few years ago and lost 117 pounds, but the same thing happend met FH and got in a comfort zone and gained it ALLLLLL back !!!
Christy, you sound just like me!
My name is Nicole, and I am a plus-sized girl!
Met my FH 10 years ago and was thin. He moved in, I no longer wanted to go to he gym after work b/c I wanted to be with him. I got comfortable and got really fat!!
Even though FH says he loves me for who I am, I am not comfortable at this size, so I am seeing a nutritionist, and the plan is very similar to WW. I also have PCOS and it makes it a little more difficult for the weight to come off.

What ***** is FH is amazing. But when he says I perfect it gets on my nerves because I'm like yeah right are you blind. Then he gets upset when I make fun of myself. I know he loves me just how I am, but I HATE looking at myself. I refuse to get dressed anywhere near a mirror. No sex with the lights on either.LOL

Re: The Official Big girls thread!!!
I know, its very uncomfortable!MY FH does the same thing! He HATES when I make fun of myself! I guess its a coping method! But I want to have my 'old' body back!!
We do have sex w/ the lights on occasionally, but the majority of the time its candlelight!! LOL

Re: The Official Big girls thread!!!
I never wanted to be skinny or feel the need to be beautiful. I just want to be comfortable to go outside in short and a fitted shirt. I am so tires of wearing big clothes so my stomach doesn't look as big. I told FH I would love to be comfortable enough with myself to walk around our home in panties and a tank top.
