Having a moment here... Since we've been engaged (only 6 months) I've gained like 15 pounds! This is not normal for me, I'm not sure if it's the stress or just my body changing but is anybody else having this issue? I should be losing, not gaining! I want to fit in my dress in 6 months!! What are you guys doing to either lose weight or to keep the weight off? None of my clothes fit! Panicking!!!

Re: Weight gain!!
It could definitely be stress because this happens to me. Thank God I didn't gain a whole lot but I just have to be REALLY careful about what I eat when I'm stressed and when I'm having big cravings I'll give in like once or twice a week but otherwise I just try to be mindful about it and distract myself. I hate the people who drop weight when stressed!

I find that when I work out, it's a great stress reliever for me. I love spin class and I cling to instructors that help you attain self goals. When you work out it's time for YOU. I also love the app My Fitness Pal. It has helped me attain my weight goals and kept me on track with my calorie count. It also helps to eat small amounts frequently throughout the day. Good Luck - YOU CAN DO IT!

I'm the opposite. I am losing weight due to the stress and that's not a good thing. I already had my final fitting.

Thanks ladies. I'm not trying to make excuses but its tough bc fh and I are both managers in retail so our schedules change daily. It would be much easier if I could have some sort of a routine.

FH and I joined a gym together a few months ago so we go 2-3 times a week together. It helps when you do everything together…work out, eat healthier, make healthier decisions, etc. We take our dogs for long walks more often and we cook healthier meals together.
That might not be feasible for you, but a high protein, low carb, low sugar diet and some exercise really does wonders. I've only lost a few pounds but i've dropped 4-5 inches in my hips and 2-3 in my waist over the past 3 months. You can do it! Just try to keep yourself motivated.
