So Leslie was nice enough to come with me today to see my dress.....and wouldn't you know it, my fears were confirmed when the damn thing would not zip up. So as Hollie told me, my dress coming in has definitely got me motivated to go to the gym and lose the weight I have been saying I would lose for months now.
The dress is perfect, I just might need slightly higher shoes to avoid falling. I felt like I had to keep kicking under the skirt to walk forward.
Also realized why I so desperately want to go elsewhere for alterations. They tried to tell me that the woman I spoke to yesterday was not in yesterday. At least 3 people said that, which I said was impossible because I had spoken to her. Finally, one girl said she was indeed in yesterday. I thought I was going nuts. They are very disorganized and one person acted like a gestapo at the door.
I can't wait until after Thanksgiving when I pay off the dress and can finally free myself from going there again.
Anyhow, enough about that, here's the pics of me in my gown, don't mind how stupid I look, I kept wondering where the sales staff was!!

Augh!!! Andrew accidentally saw it!!!! I had this thread up and he walked in the room!!! As soon as he saw what it was, he ran out and said 'I'm not supposed to see, I'm not supposed to see it!!!'

Janna - the dress is beautiful, and you look gorgeous!!! As for going to the gym - I have a membership to Bally's. I'm done with the class I've been taking on Dec 7. I'm available as a workout buddy on Mon & Weds after that.
Which one do you go to? I had cancelled my membership with Bally's before I joined NYSC, but if I could find a different location to go to other than the one in Lake Grove, I would go back.
When I go (which isn't often) I use the one in Lake Grove. As far as I know it is the only one that is local.

The only other one I know of is in Bay Shore, although I could have Bally and NYSC confused right now. I used to go to the Lake Grove one, but after 6 months I saw equipment that was broken still not fixed, and this was equipment I normally used, so that bothered me. With all the money they make, you would think they could replace the equipment!!

It looks great! You can enjoy the holidays and get back on the wagon come '06.
Leslie - Conigs25 and I cannot come within 5 miles of bridal salon as we have the urge to pretend to be brides who havenn't found gowns yet! We loved the experience of looking!!
I wish I tried on more just to see what others would have looked like, but I didnt want to waste time looking at a dress that wasnt going to cover my tattoo.

Congrats Janna - I know you'll lose the weight, and I honestly think you won't have to lose that MUCH weight as you said - the stress of the wedding itself will shed a few for you!
I'm sorry I couldn't meet up with you guys in BK but Sunday is 'family' day.
Good Luck!
Leslie - you're an absolute doll for joining her!

Janna,
You look absolutely beautiful!! The dress is so flattering and gives you such a nice shape! Like I said, trying the dress on is good motivation! Take the dress to Phyllis for alterations. She is amazing...I am going to have my first fitting soon.
