First fitting today

went for my first fitting, all I'm getting done is adding cups to the bust area and taking in the top. Other than that, dress fits like a glove.

my only concern is that when the assistant took my measurements with my dress on, I was surprised at my numbers; my chest/waist and hips ratio was a lot higher than I thought it would be! For my dress size, the numbers are normally a lot smaller. I had the manager retake my measurements because I thought they were off, and asked her if the numbers were higher while wearing the gown, she said it wouldn't make a difference.

so now I'm trying to lose the 2 inches off my waist that I think I gained in the past year, hoping to shed something before my next fitting on April 13th. Anyone have any tips?

going for my first fitting this thurs. i really really hope they can put cups in mine! i dont want to have to wear a strapless bra that they told me to buy...

as far as weight loss.........water water water, portion control and maybe some brisk 20 min walks in am or pm i should take my own advice good luck!

This. So much easier said than done though!!! Such a pain to lose weight when food is so good

I asked to be measured twice because the first girl made an error, not even sure they're that accurate, think they just round off the numbers. This is really bothering me, so I am going to measure myself again after a week of less eating and more exercising.

Also, they measured me with my gown on, and I'm certain the body suit in the rib/waist area adds at least half an inch to the numbers. Going to increase my water intake and be more active, and luckily with my new job, I'm not forced to be sedentary!

Well I do believe that dress sizes in the wedding world run small. Because they ordered a dress like 4 sizes bigger than what I wear in my normal life. I did kind of freak about but its just a number.

I love food and found its harder to stick to a diet. Try green tea that flushes your system out and should help you lose some weight especially if you work out a little bit. Try cutting out something bad you eat. Like regular soda. Its empty calories that may help you lose weight. Try cutting your portion size. If you normally have seconds don't. HTH Good luck!

I wouldnt worry as long as the dress fits perfectly.

As for diet, I would do cardio at least 5 times a week if you can, light dinners (no carbs after 6-7PM) and you should start to see a big difference. Good luck!
