How did you lose weight for your wedding?

[hjc1277]

So what's the outcome? Are we going to start an on the side support group?? I can help (set something up) through Yahoo/MSN Groups if anyone is interested.

I'm not going to diet, but I am starting more exercise. I just haven't had time in my first year of grad school to do it. I bought a 4pack of Billy Blanks' DVDs yesterday and did the first workout. I'm doing that one again tonight. I think I used muscles I haven't used since my high school cheerleading days! I don't eat horribly anyway (aside from too many sodas). Added bonus to using these DVDs is going to be flexibility for sure though.

I'm game...32 more days to go, I can lose a decent amount in that time.

I have been walking 3-4 miles 3x a week & am down 8lbs with no diet change (believe me I eat bad). I just joined Lucille Roberts womens gym & did a kick boxing class last week & loved it. I would love to be apart of a group. I want to look great when I see my hunny on midtour leave in August & even better at our wedding next May. He has been deployed to S. Korea & I haven't seen him in 3 mos.

Let me know if you start up a group or if I can help start one!

Ive just started a diet given to me by the british heart foundation, and so far I have lost 21 pounds . This diet is proven to work & u can lose up to 10 pounds in 3 days, then eat sensibly for the rest of the week before u go back on the 3 day diet, if followed 100% u can lose up to 40 pounds in a month!!

Do you have a link to this diet? Or any info you can share? Thanks!

Okay, so I started to create the group, but couldn't come up with a good idea for a group name. Any ideas?!?

I just thought of a really cute and really cheesy name....Disappearing Disney Brides

How about "Club WDW" (We're Dropping Weight or Wonderfully Dropping Weight or Wisely Dropping Weight [to promote doing it in a healthy sense]). Or something like that? A play on Disney would be cool.

I joined Weight Watchers in the begining of Feb. and have lost 25.5 pounds so far on it. My wedding is in less than 5 weeks and the seamstress told me not to lose more than 5 more pounds before the wedding or else there'd be major alterations...I already went one dress size...but at any rate, I'm going to continue to lose weight becuase I feel it's better for my health and I'll get the bonus of looking hot too

I'm really happy with the WW "way of life" if anyone is curious abuot it feel free to email me:

Congrats on your weight loss I did Weight Watchers too before my wedding and lost 30 lbs....I ordered my dress before the weight loss though and ended up losing about 4 dress sizes...it was too much to alter so I had to send the dress back and get a new one! It was a little stressful but it all worked out

yeah I went down a full size, she traded my dress in for a smaller one and then proceeded to tell me NOT to lose any more, that was 6 weeks before the wedding..I think she scared my body because now I've only lost another 3 pounds since then...(2-3 weeks ago) I wanted to hit 30-35 pounds...I have my final fitting May 18th...we'll see what happens, if she has to take it in, I won't complain

LOL...our stories sound so similar By the end, my seamstress was telling me to stop losing weight too but the thing is WW really becomes a way of life and not just a diet so it was hard. Even though I wasn't really trying to lose more I was....now, my wedding was 7 months ago and I will say it's a bit tough to keep the weight off but I've managed so far....it's all about choices and not depriving yourself of things yo like and crave...that's what I love about WW....good luck with your last fitting....

thanks! They do sound similar...I WI tonight and I'm scared, because I had my bridal shower over the weekend and then had ALL the leftovers at my place since then, so I bet this will be the first week I either maintain or gain. I don't want to gain, that'd be a downer. I have less than 4 weeks, I think I'm probably pretty much where I'm going to be at, until the wedding, I just hope that all the walking balances out all the good food I plan on eating down there

KT27 if u Pm your email address ill be more than happy to send u the diet.
I must add u can lose up to 10 pounds in 3 days but everyone is different. When i last tried this diet i was inactive for 3 days but still 7 pounds, but i must warn u this diet is very restrictive & the 1st time u try it u will need a lot of will power lol

Oh, please do not worry about WW while on your honeymoon....after all of your hard work you deserve to splurge Don't worry if you gained or just maintained this week it won't make any difference in the end...you're so close to your big day now!! It was so hard to keep to the WW plan the few weeks before my wedding because my schedule was so crazy...basically I kept to my breakfast and lunch plan because I was at work and that was easy, but dinner was another story.....oh well Have an amazing wedding and honeymoon and don't forget your ears.....as you can see in my sig, we wore them and had a great time with them

my suspicions were right, I didn't lose this past week, I stayed the same, but I had my shower over the weekend and then ALL the leftovers BLEW It for me...I do'nt even care about points while I'm down there, I'm eating good food and that's final! I'm actually going to call in my PS right now and get that out of the way we're totally getting the ears as well, I can't wait!!!

I hope things work out with CRT, I'm doing all I can to get in there.

I was able to book a carriage ride for 6/1 at 8:30 at POR, and I can't wait, it'll be right during sunset and we're bringing champagne, and I want to find glasses down there with Mickey/Minnie or Cinderella/Prince Charming on them to drink out of
