I'm the one bride who GAINS weight before wedding

YOu are not alone!!!!!!!!!!

you are not the only bride- I have gained back what I lost in january! I am supposed to have my second fitting- but I called her and rescheduled it for next week and I need to lose at least 3-5 pounds between now & then

hang in there!

Don't feel bad I to had lost about 25 lbs and now I am terrified to get near the scale but I know its back and it brought along a few friends-- I have gone back to ww and hope that between now and my last fitting I can get ride of them.

Chin up lady

You can totally do it!!!

I 've lost then gained then lost. Now I'm consistently going to the gym and making myself do kick *** workouts and have hired a trainer. I still need to get the eating under control, but that's coming along also.

Low-carb is great, but hard to do....especially in the beginning phase....but if you can stick to it you'll see great results.

I think by doing watching what you eat and increasing your exercise you'll see those 15 lbs go away..an you know what you may just lose inches but it's still great.

don't get discouraged or give up cuz u still have plenty of time!!!

we have the 30 day shred and i like it. i used it more to get back into shape rather than for the inches/weight loss..but i could see a difference after doing it for 5 days straight in reference to being more toned regardless. u just have to make sure to do it every day and actually do it not wimp out : )

i stopped doing it everyday though. now if i feel like working out...i do 1 day of the tape, 1 day of just toning that i like and 1 day of cardio (elliptical)...and repeat. with 1 day of nothing.

ugh-my wedding is in 44 days. i need to lose 20 lbs i am the worse with trying to stick to this diet....bc of my current living conditions -i get discouraged annoyed to cook for myself and i just order out-

luckily this week i started walking 6x around the prk track and feel better. im just avoiding ALL carbs as much as i can

Totally not alone. I was the biggest I have ever been the day of my wedding and guess what?!?!

I DIDN'T CARE... because it didn't matter that day. I still felt beautiful and I was the happiest I had ever been my whole life!

Don't beat yourself up!

Just start today - watch everything you eat.

Do low carb - eat a salad for lunch and just make yourself go to the gym 5X a week.

you CAN do it!!!!

Thanks chica but it is true.

You can TOTALLY lose 15 pounds in 2 1/2 months.

Have you tried WW? Core is great!

And yes! I recommend that 30 day shred also!

I plan on trying to do it everyday, and then run for 30 minutes lol (I ordered down a size and only lost 11 pounds )

Um big? You're a skinny chick - very lovely!

I feel ya girl!!!
I really havent been on much of a wedding 'diet' this whole time... and now everything is snug and its freaking me out because my final fitting is on sat.
I wouldnt say i'm a big girl..i know i'm prob fine..but when your clothes start to get tight on you you cant help but notice and think about how ur going to fit into that dress!!!

be very careful with low carb - there are right and wrong ways to do it! you can try actual atkins or south beach but those don't play nice with working out, my officemate lost a ton of weight on atkins but wasn't allowed to exercise because your body needs carbs for workout energy. my boss, however, said that cutting out carbs at NIGHT worked well for her - so make lunchtime your last dose of carbs. then do what oprah does and make sure to have an early dinner so you're not eating ANYTHING after 7 pm!

i have personally found weight watchers to be AMAZING. especially if you try the wendie plan:
http://www.stormpc.com/ww/wendie_plan.htm

it's a way to mix up your metabolism WHILE on weight watchers, to break out of a slump... for those low-point days, might i add that progresso light's zero-point southwestern vegetable soup is AMAZING? make sure you get the one that says WW zero points, but man, those are the best zero points i've ever spent!

a friend of mine swears by cutting out soda, even diet soda. she also swears by HIIT (high intensity interval training) - lots of sources on the internet for it. my own fitness salvation has been http://www.bootcamprepublic.com but i think that's only in the city. bootcamp-style exercise classes give you results fast though.

you've definitely got time to make a difference in between now and your wedding. (c: best of luck!!!

I wasn't saying I am big girl. Just the biggest I have ever been. I went from bing a size 0 last summer to a size 8. Just saying I wasn't the size I was used to being the day I got married.

Well regardless, you looked beautiful!
