Losing Weight before fittings

up until the last fitting of your dress?
If so, how long before the wedding was your last fitting? weeks? a week?

I am freaking out about my dress fitting....

Hopefully, I will have lost 10 lbs by my first fitting and wedding date. I need to make sure my boobs are not popping out of my very thin halter gown, and hopefully shedding some weight will help!

I did and I had my last fitting on the Wednesday just before my wedding - my seamstress chided me a bit for losing so much just before the wedding because she kept having to take in inches. Oh well!!

What did you ladies do to lose weight?

I still have awhile but I definitely want to get on it!

Re: Brides...Will You OR Did you LOSE weight....

i keep telling myself i'm gonna lose weight...but i despise the gym! it's hard to work out when you are already a 'heavy' girl and everyone else in there looks like they belong in fitness magazine or something!

but i know that now i'm a member of a gym, i shall have to go, because i'm paying for it!

I will not lose weight. I havent gained or lost a pound since I was measured and I tried my dress on today. ALL IS WELL!!!

My last fitting is a week before. I lost weight between my 1st and 2nd fitting. She let it out a little, now she has to take it back in.

I'm with you...I have 10 months - eek, from yesterday! I'd love to lose 60lbs...but I would be very happy with 30 or 40.

My FH and I have a bet that we each have to work out 4hrs a week...and there's a monetary penalty if you don't. Between that and good old Weight Watchers...I hope I can meet my goals.

So far, 3 weeks in, I've kept up on the bet...the first week I lost 3 lbs, but in the last 2 I gained almost all of that back (Thanksgiving). Hopefully this week will get me back on track!

If anyone has and words of wisdom - I'm listening!

Re: Brides...Will You OR Did you LOSE weight....

I lost a little bit a weight but I wasn't trying. It was just all the running around the 2-3 weeks prior to the wedding.

Re: Brides...Will You OR Did you LOSE weight....

Heck no! I don't understand the 'pressure' ladies have to lose weight for a wedding....FI asked you to marry you b/c of who you are - inside and out...why change that?

Unless, of course one is doing it for health reasons....then, that's a different story!

Re: Brides...Will You OR Did you LOSE weight....

I was just melting away. My last fitting was like 3 days before my wedding and the designer had to take in some more inches. On the day of wedding my designer was with me and it is a good thing she walks her needle and thread because I did lose some more. She was asking me what's going on why are you melting I figured it was from all the excitement.

Re: Brides...Will You OR Did you LOSE weight....

So far i've lost 30 lbs. I'm hoping to lose another 10 or so before I order my dress. I'm hoping that I will lose another 20-30lbs before the wedding, so I'm probably going to have a lot of alterations.

Re: Brides...Will You OR Did you LOSE weight....

Well, I would like to lose 10 lbs, but not because of the wedding, just to be healthier and at my ideal weight.
I try to watch what I eat and exercise. I have been doing all this before I got engaged, but I guess the wedding is the extra kick in the butt.

Christine - I agree 100% I made a comment to DH after we got engaged, and he just asked me why I needed to lose weight, he loves me just as I am.
