I think it's not unusual to gain weight after your wedding. On thenest.com I've heard it referred to as the 'Newlywed 9.'

They are called happy marriage pounds! I gained 15 of them...and it has taken me almost 2 years to lose them. It is so common to gain weight when you are a newlywed...dont worry!

I wish I *ONLY* gained 10 pounds...

Its been 8 months and I think I've gained 15+ It fluctuates a lot but I cannot even fit into ANYTHING I wore on our honeymoon any longer ...

And I wasn't a skinnie minnine on my wedding day either!!!

so my ideal weight is about 30 pounds away

although i've lost 6 recently.....

Re: Holy Cow!

Let's just say I am 50% more than I once was!!!!

As I plan for our anniversary trip, there is not a chance I can wear anything I bought for the HM (mostly size 4) as I am currently busting out of a 10

That's awesome Lori!

And Wendy and Lori, I put '15+ pounds' in my post ... but that was being conservative. In actuality I've probably gained 20+.. but it fluctuates, I diet for a few weeks and drop 5-8, but then I revert back to my old ways and gain it back

I am actually too scared to get on the scale and actually SEE the numbers, so I don't .. but I can tell purley based on my clothes not fitting that I packed it on.

And at least you ladies have been married nearly a year - I'm only at the 8 month mark...

Heck I gained 10 pounds on my honeymoon alone - so what did I expect!!!

Re: Holy Cow!

I think I have gained about 13 lbs...I can't fit into anything anymore, and it is driving me insane! I feel so horrible....

I think the 'Newlywed 19' would be more appropriate for me.

I did sort of hit rock bottom, thought, and I have been working out again. But I am annoyed at myself for getting like this in the first place.
