Wedding and reception in one venue near our home. Its an old mill and is just lovely, its beside a lake as well which should look really nice in pics if the sun is shining!!!

Hello everyone!
My big motivation to lose weight was my wedding in April 2011 and also being a bridesmaid in September!
I started a size 16, and promised myself I woud be a size 12 for both my friends and my wedding! I couldn't wait to try on wedding dresses, and decided I would only go once I'd got down to a size twelve!

Well 4 months later and my size 14 trousers are very baggy - but I'm almost 9 weeks pregnant!!!

So I think it will be a while before I'll be wearing size 12s and trying on wedding dresses!

And I'll be waddling down the aisle as a bridesmaid at seven months pregnant!!!! Oops!!!

Me too! On May 11th in Italy....ooooh 6 weeks today in fact!
I've lost just under 3 stone and am now trying to maintain as my dress has been altered to fit. It was falling off me :clap: so had it taken in, going tomorrow night for the final try on.

Ooooo SparkleWitch may have to PM you - we're getting married in Italy in 2012, so a while yet, but would be good to know how you organised it all etc. xxxx

Im getting married 28th may in Aruba and I am getting very excited now! I have another 5 and half pounds to go to target and really want to get their for the big day!

Also i have just done the FYEO photo shoot (not for the wedding) but the photos are pretty amazing and you will look great and love the photos. I am so proud of myself for doing it as I hate getting my body out! H2B will love it! x

love all these stories and inspiration! what gorgeous brides/bridesmaids/mother of the brides we'll be!

 

[sallyannetag]

so long as i get my bum into gear!!! The other bridesmaids, one is doing circuit training and has gone down a size, one is 14 and stunning looking, the other is 12! I know im gonna be the biggest one but just dont wanna be as big as i am right now!!!

Sallyannetag,
Don't be too hard on yourself, you've done brilliantly so far and there is no reason why you shouldn't lose quite a bit more before the wedding! You are also so much better off than if you had done nothing at all! I'm sure you'll look stunning!

Aw I know but I also know ive been faffing around for this whole month!!! Im doing a red week this week to see if I can kickstart myself and am motivating myself to get the wii out again! Thanks for your encouragement.

 

[Sozzle]

I totally understand how you feel! I've been the same. I originally joined SW at the end of October to lose some weight for my holiday in New Zealand in February. I was pretty half hearted about it but managed to lose 9 pounds. Whilst on holiday I got engaged and came back having gained 4 pounds. I thought, right well I've a wedding to slim for now, so should be motivated. I've been back 5 weeks and have only lost 3 pound, not even all of what I gained on holiday I really need to get my backside in gear or I will be so miserable with myself!!!!

 

[Woodsylou]

it's hard to motivate yourself isn't it! i think it sometimes just clicks! i've been engaged a year and the whole time i was going to diet for the wedding, didn't start until feb! haha! but so be it, don't worry and just get on with it!

once you get your dress i think it's easier to stay motivated! my dress looked lovely from the front, but gross from side on! i picture that every day and i stay motivated!

 

[Sozzle]

haha yeah my dress looks lovely when I hold it together, but the zip won't go all the way up yet, so HAVE to keep at it

 

[sallyannetag]

hee hee, i put my bridesmaid dress on over my head, didnt even realise it had a zip!!! Until I mentioned it to the bride, she near had a coronary! I might actually try it on again to see if it fits any better, might spur me on a bit!

 

[Woodsylou]

i am too scared to try my dress on again, even though i've lost 24lbs since i last tried it on! is that stupid?!

 

[sallyannetag]

not at all, just dont be leaving it too late to get alterations done!

 

[ninnins]

try it Woodyslou, Ive lost a similar amount and have had to hunt out old clothes as my others were all too big-you will def notice a diff and will make you feel so good!

 

[Woodsylou]

I'm booked in for Mid June. i am nervous!
