lost 3 pounds this week!
Hi guys,
Just found this thread and am also trying to lose weight for my October 12, 2010 wedding. We just got engaged a couple weeks ago and I had to buy my dress off the rack - a US size 14.
I carry all my extra weight around my stomach and in my chest so I know the 10 -15 lbs I want to lose will require alterations. The prob I have is that I was told my final alteration can only be 1 month out!! I want to be losing up to the day, if possible, but don't want to lose my dress!!Have you guys heard the same?
And my tricks to losing weight - if I don't cook it, I don't eat it. That way I know exactly what I am eating and can control things like salt, oil, etc. Also - 1 glass of wine on the weekend - no other alcohol at all! It's hard when everyone wants to help you celebrate!
Wow! Your wedding is so close! Is your dress lace up at the back? That's a handy way of being able to take it in a little bit if needed, without having to get alterations done.
I rolled my ankle at the gym last nightit wasn't that bad when I did it, but by the time I went to bed I was in possibly the worse pain I've ever been in
it's a bit better today, but I really should stay off it. Depending on how I'm feeling this arvo it might just mean upper body work today

My week ended today since I started on 7/21 and I was surprised to have lost 1.8 lbs. Yay!!! Thanks for all the encouragement!
