Also, I've been doing the 30 day shred and last night I started doing Billy Banks Tae Boe (didnt really like it.... I felt like I was doing more with the 30 day shred). Can anyone please explain how I managed to gain an inch and 1/2 in my bust please?

First the meausurement isnt the biggest deal justyet. There could be multitude of reasons why that measurement was what it was. Keep uo the cardio (whih helps in weight loss) teh weight training (whichhelps in loss of body fat & inches). But the main thing is the diet if you ar enot doing right by that then that could actually cause weight or body fat gain. You need to burn more calories then consumed to lose anything. You should keep a journal of everything you eat & see what you are doing wrong.

Yea, Im going to start watching what I eat now, bc what I'm doing isnt working I'm hoping that MrsDrinkh20 can come up with a diet that I can follow so i can start knocking some pounds off

No problem. Belly fat comes of with cardio but u need to tone that with crunches. Otherwise sometimes just doing cardio could make you flabby. U need to always tone along with the cardio. Its a must. Im sure Lauren will give a good diet to work off of. If u need any workout help or anything. Ill be happy to help. I have done/do personal training & trained body sculpting classes & cardio Kickboxing classes. Im also an avid runner so anyhelp in that I can totally give you.Good Luck!

goood luck!!!

Listen don't get upset I had the same problem and then I needed to order. So I was forced to order the size 12. Needless to say my dress will be here soon and I am no longer a size 12 more like an 8. Tell them to order you a smaller size and then sign a release form.

Chances are you definitely are gaining muscle

Sometimes your body holds on to weight at first..you have to be consistent for a substantial amount of time. 2 weeks at most you would shed mainly water weight anyway.
I agree with all the girls suggestions, here are some additional pointers (I'm really into diet/exercise and reading on it)..
**The gain in bust may be due to hormonal fluctuations (which can also affect your weight slightly, maybe by like 1-3 pounds)..
In terms of diet, try keeping a food log of EVERYTHING you eat and drink for a week. AT the end of the week really analyze what your eating primarily consists of (i.e. carbs, fats, veggies, etc).

For me I always see the best results when I watch the carbs and limit them to breakfast and lunch.
Dinner should be a lean protein (chicken or fish) and veggies. Also eating 5 small meals per day keeps you burning calories all day. A good book to pick up (its like 10 bucks or less) is the South Beach Diet Good fats, Good carbs guide..Its helpful to have a reference.

Another trick I love is to eat your meals on salad plates and use a small fork. You trick your mind into thinking you ate a ton of food, when in fact you ate the correct serving size.
And get rid of ALL the junk food and beverages in your place! Out of sight, out of mind.

Good luck!

OMG wow, yep same thing!!! The sample size was an 8 and it was too small.... so I had to order the 12 and I felt horrible about it. I thought that I can at least lose enough weight to be in the 10...and now I'm just worried that now my dress is going to be too big to where they have to do a lot of alterations and my dress might not look right. What do you ladies think about that? Will they be able to fix my dress to make it look perfect if it was ordered too big???

If you want to lose inches fast you have to change your diet if you are eating badly. No fast food and really cut down the carbs as much as possible. You have to do cardio and weight training. Make sure you drink plenty of water. Also is your monthly friend coming soon? That would effect some of your measurements of course :) I can gain up to 7 pounds the week before and during my period... AND if you ate something that bloats you that can effect you as well. Don't give up 2 weeks isn't that much time. You can still order your dress, just get it fitted.

Were you pms'ing? Right before my . none of my bras or shirts fit. I swell up like ballons lol.

---

Actually I was lol... but I didnt think it made a difference because my bras still fit when I'm on my period. I really just thought that my BUST got bigger because I was trying to work out my back so much...

So you dont think I should call up the bridal shop and tell them that I had my period and that I should get re-fitted? Maybe I should just leave the measurements the same and let them order the dress in the 12 and just change my diet and workout?? I just felt so disappointed and I know a little over 2 weeks isnt too much time, but I thought at least I would lose a little bit in some part of my body lol

Well look at it this way. If you order the 12 or the 10, won't you have to get it fitted anyway ? If you call them they will most likely suggest you stay with the 12 I'm pretty sure. It's your choice but either way don't worry! Your dress will fit beautifully once it's actually fitted to your body.

Yea that is true, I hope it all works out when alterations are getting done.
