I have always heard that a little gain after the big day is normal but this is insane!!

I have gained almost 10 pounds in five weeks!! That is just astounding. Yes, I have been pigging out, but agh!

You don't have to tell me how much, but I'd just like to know if you are in the same boat.

And please brag if you havn't gained - I give you alot of credit!

I know I'll get back into good habits when I go back to school, but for now, my gut is HANGING OUT!

I haven't been on a scale in a while, but my clothes have been loose and tight and loose and tight all year long. Three weeks ago a dress from last summer was tight. Today it fits. But three pairs of honeymoon pants don't fit so I need to get back into them. I think my weight has shifted around, too. The tops of my dresses have been tight in the bust but okay elsewhere.

I have gained like 6 to 8 pounds and AM NOT HAPPY about it. Yes- I have not been going to the gym and Yes- I have been eating like a banchee-- but-- the madness has got to stop. I started going back to the gym and I must diet-- I feel like a freakin beached whale.. I am sick over it..

But of course-- I just ate like a ton of graham crackers.. but I am PMSing.. I need to get control of this though.. esp with it being so hot- I hate getting dressed in the morning.

I have gained 6 pounds since the wedding which was June 11! I haven't been to the gym since before the wedding --I feel awful and I have so many weddings/parties in the next few months --definitely joining a new gym very soon!

Re: How has you weight fluctuated since the wedding?

I've actually lost 3 lbs

But, to you ladies that have gained, you really need to think that you were probably at your skinniest point on your wedding day and that weight is not maintainable (I don't think that's even a word but you know what I mean). If you're unhappy with the way you look, by all means change it. BUT, if you're simply basing your weight gain on what you weighed the day of your wedding, definitely take this into consideration and don't be so darn hard on yourselves!!!!!!!!

I am not counting the extra 3 or 4 stress pounds... I am just talking about the weight I worked to get off... But I did go to the gym this morning!!! Now, if I can just get up at 6 15 instead of 6 45 we'd be in business!

I actually was calculating from the before-wedding-loss weight. So kind of 15 since wedding day, 10 since pre-wedding-loss (which I wasn't trying to lose, but nerves got the best of me).

Re: How has you weight fluctuated since the wedding?

Oh, I'm so glad I'm not alone. I've been married for one month and I can't even say how much weight I've gained. I actually thought I was pregnant, but I'm not! A stranger thought I was though

Yesterday, I joined WW online and I am trying my best to keep with it although it's so hard. I guess my belly stretched out from all the food we've been eating that a regular sandwich is not enough for me !! In time, it will go back to normal. I lost almost 20lbs about 2 years ago on WW, so I'm determined to loose to 22lbs, this time. Good luck to all of us ...We can do it!!

I gained 4 pounds on our HM and they are still with me...over 1 year later.

No fluctuation here, just a steady gain. I've gained twelve pounds since the wedding.

Re: How has you weight fluctuated since the wedding?

I dont' know how much cause I never get on the scale, but I know I've gained quite a bit.

Re: How has you weight fluctuated since the wedding?

I feel like I have gained a little and it hasn't been long...mainly because I got bronchitis the week before the wedding and didn't work out then, or during the honeymoon and ate sooo much...started my workout routine yesterday- I am destined to get back on track!

Re: How has you weight fluctuated since the wedding?

I have lost a few pounds since. I workout and my job also helps. I am on my feet moving at work and lifting cases of beer and buckets of ice (which I have to go down a flight of stairs to get and bring up).

Re: How has you weight fluctuated since the wedding?

Not yet but I am keeping up the work out routine. We'll see what happens come winter...

Re: How has you weight fluctuated since the wedding?

I actually lost weight after the wedding. My dress is to big on me now. I wish I knew what I did, I would have loved to have lost it before the wedding. I guess with all the pre wedding stress, I indulged in some extra food and afterwards I indulged in other things to take it off!!

Re: How has you weight fluctuated since the wedding?

I'm working on getting the 20+ lbs off I've gained since the wedding.
I lost 2 last week on WW. It's a start!

Re: How has you weight fluctuated since the wedding?

I gained the 20lbs I lost on WW. Back on WW again.

I third this but will spill the beans to give me motivation lets see after a year of living together I gained 40 lbs- yup 40, then it fluctuated 5-10 lbs of loss here and there, before the wedding I lost 10 and put it right back on, so I am right where I started.

Re: How has you weight fluctuated since the wedding?

I have gained 8 pounds since I got married 8 months ago. All 8 of those pounds I gained 4 months after the wedding. Before the wedding I lost about six pounds, so in reality, I really only gained the weight back and then 2 more pounds more. I can't seem to loose the weight though. I guess it could be worse. I just hate gaining weight though.
