I had my first fitting tonite...

and the dress is a bit snug around the waist, which is very noticable in the pictures. so i have to try to lose like 10 lbs before my next fitting which is in 4 weeks. the dress is huge in the chest of course!

i am so sad. i have been going to the gym faithfully but i guess i am not doing a good job watching what i eat. the seamstress said that she would prefer not to let the sides out b/c then the seams will show and throw off the beading on the dress. so she gently recommended that i try to lose some weight. she was actually very nice and helpful.

any suggestions?

i am training with a personal trainer right now, 2x a week. i have lost inches on my abs, but nowhere else. i am not on a diet, although i am definitely watching what i eat from tonight until the wedding! i have tried south beach before and have had success with it, so i know i can do it. i wish i could do slimfast, but i am lactose intolerant and have IBS. but i am open to all suggestions so bring it on. and if i am brave enough i might even post a picture!

I wouldn't do slimfast then. It would def. result in problems.

In the South Beach, don't you lose the most weight in the first 2 weeks? Why don't you do that again? Especially since you know it worked for you.

weight watchers, works all the time for me you can eat what ever you want but some amounts

Aww dont worry. Be concious of what you eat and get a corset

I say go for South Beach, you know you can do it and it has positive results! Don't get your self too crazy, you have over 2 months!

i guess i am just looking for some more ideas other than south beach. and suggestions for specific exercises are appreciated. and support. it kinda s*cks when you go for the fitting and it doesnt go as planned.

I wish I could help you, but I don't excersice, I would love to lose some weight before the wedding (actually before the HM ) but I;m soo not motivated.

You should tell your trainer. They should be able to help you, and things that you can do at home.

Everything will be fine..you have time.
You will be a beautiful

I have to agree with Stacey04!! LOL!

I' m sure you are feeling kind of down tonight, it sucks when things like this happen, but you are going to be beautiful bride!
Like Stacey04 said, talk to your trainer!

You need to exercise at least 4 or 5 times a week to lose weight- so I would go to the gym even when you don't work with a trainer. Try to stay for a minimum of 30 mins.

Also-- easier than joining anything- but count calories. Eat 1000 calories a day- go to the gym.. It will come off. Also, don't eat past 8/9 o'clock- mainly on weeknights. Make sure you still eat healthy though.. protein, fruits, veggies etc.

Slim Fast. You will lose the weight in two weeks. I promise.

I have my first fitting in a month and I am desperate to lose weight before I find myself in the same situation as Groovy, what flavor Slim Fast do you reccommend and are we talking about the powder stuff or is there a better way?

You can get slim fast by the can, by the bar, etc.. No more mixing.
