I gained 13 lbs. I have been out of control. I'm so depressed. I went for my fitting and didn't even bother taking photos because I looked so awful. My mom made the seamstress attach little straps to hold up my huge chest (there's no cleavage though which is what I wanted) yet she said the first thing everyone will notice is my huge chest.
My dress just fit, meanwhile back in June it was two sizes too big and we were so excited that I had taken off some weight for the wedding.
How the heck can I drop 15 lbs by November 8? I was going to do no carbs starting today and already I had a WW egg sandwich. Only 4 points but carb city
UGH! I'm going to the gym, but can't get into it the way I was in the winter and spring.
Anyone else gaining or having trouble losing? I'm so depressed. I bought cute stuff for the Honeymoon that barely fits now.
Thanks for listening. Your fatty-fat bride-to-be

Re: I'm the one bride who GAINS weight before wedding
Ally, you will be a beautiful bride whether you lose those 13 lbs or gain more!! I'm sorry that I have no advice for you, other than your FH loves you for who you are and will be in awe over you in your dress on your wedding day. You'll be smiling at him, he'll be smiling at you....... and he loves you for YOU.
I keep losing and gaining the same 5 lbs. Up and down for months now. I have major eating issues from a medical condition (similar to IBS) so as soon as I'm down and doing well, I wind up gaining those back. I do know how you feel about struggling with this, though.

Re: I'm the one bride who GAINS weight before wedding
I totally feel your pain. I apparently gained weight since I ordered my dress and when it came in it didn't fit. I almost had a panic attack. I was able to just squeeze into it. Now I got to work extra hard to make sure it fits right within the next few weeks. Don't worry you have more time than I do. Just eat the right foods and hit the gym and I'm sure you can get to your goal. Either way your still going to make a beautiful bride

Don't be discouraged! You can totally get your butt in gear by 11/15! It's 8 weeks away, right? So pick a daily menu that you can stick with for 8 weeks and just eat the same menu every day that meets your nutritional goals (probably about 1400 calories, lots of protein and fiber!) and drink a ton of water. You'll totally lose the weight by then. That's how I manage to keep weight off and it really works for me.
And to kick up your calorie burning, instead of just getting on the treadmill or elliptical and doing 30 minutes, do 45 instead with a magazine or book and do 2 minutes of steady and then 1 minute as hard as you can go. Then 2 minutes steady, 1 minute hard and so on. That burns WAY more calories. Keep us updated - We'll totally cheer you on!

You're not the only one. I ate out of control from like a month before the wedding up until that day. I am still eating out of control. I was afraid my dress wouldn't fit that day but it just made it. Everyone said people get so nervous that they wind up losing weight before the big day. Well, I am living proof that it is not true.

Re: I'm the one bride who GAINS weight before wedding
I have fought with weight issues my whole life and it is so frustrating !!!!!!!! June 1st I went on Nutri System and in 2 months I lost 30 lbs just by eating the food ... and since the middle of August from being off of it I have still lost another 2 pounds.... I just make sure that during the week I drink a lot of water and eat salads and NO junk food ... on weekends I go off of it cause me and FH hang out and have our beers ... but believe me it is not easy!!!!!!!! FM me if you want to chat !!!!!!!!!!

On Sunday I bought the dvd, 30 day shred. A lot of girls on here have been talking about how well it works. It claims you can lost 20 pounds in 30 days. Even if it doesnt come off THAT fast, I'm sure you can lose 15 in 2 1/2 months.
LET ME TELL YOU, i did it on Monday and couldn't move until today! It really works!
I just got that and let's see how it works!

Re: I'm the one bride who GAINS weight before wedding
I've been doing no carbs for a few days, then I went nuts at a wedding last night. I'm back on it again today and will try to stick with it at least until the wedding 11.8.
I just want to fit into my dress comfy and I want my honey moon clothes to fit!
Thanks to all the girls for their support!

Re: I'm the one bride who GAINS weight before wedding
ally - you are a beautiful woman, inside & out and Drew and anyone else who knows you KNOWS THAT!!!!
Be careful with the carb thing, drink lots of water, don't eat after 8:00 at night and stop drinking soda immediately.
