First Fitting

I am getting married on 10/30, and I just called to schedule my first fitting. I let them know that I plan to lose weight and am no where near where I want to be (would love to lose 15 more lbs). They told me I need to be at my goal by first fitting, and they would probably only do 2 fittings. !?!?! My alterations are included, but they said any alterations for weight loss after my first fitting I am responsible for. So they scheduled my first fitting late - 9/2 -- eight weeks before I get married (could lose 10 pds in that time).

Are any of you planning on losing until your wedding???? I planned having last fitting about 2 weeks before, and losing up until that point. Isn't it normal to lose up until a couple of weeks before the wedding??? I thought this was normal, but the woman on the phone acted as if I was crazy.

I think every bride loses weight in the last week or so, even if they're not trying to. I've been losing weight since the winter and I've got another 5 poubds or so to go. My first fitting is August 12, I'll probably schedule another for early September and then my third about a week before.

I'm going for a 'try on' tomorrow and if it looks like I need to lose weight then I will. Maybe if you go before 9/2 to try it on then you can get a better idea of what you want it to look like. I'm not getting fitted until late August and I KNOW I will lose weight the week of the wedding because I don't plan on eating... GL
