Eat healthy, exercise and if that doesn't do it buy some spanx to wear under your jeans/shirt! It will slim your tummy line down and get rid of the small spill over.

Welcome Icarus! That is so cool you are going to be able to wear your mothers dress. What does it look like now and what will it look like after your friend updates it?

My cake is the normal white with light pink polka dots on it and the cake topper is our initials in silver and on the lettering it has daisies made by using polka dots. I am surprised at how many things I am able to find with the polka dots in it...pretty cool! My bridesmaids are wearing black too! They are picking their own dress as long as it is cocktail lenght so each one is in something flattering to their body type. The flowers will be different shades of pink daisies and roses.

Hey Jennymarie...I am doing the polka dot theme as well with black, white and pink. I am also incorporating pink gerber daisies in as well. I am not doing too much of it either but little touches here and there. I love it!

Hi strhythms...welcome to the group! I am getting married on May 10th, when is your big day? How are your plans coming? I hurt my neck/shoulder last week so I haven't been able to do too much as far as exercise. I tried getting on my eliptical but at 10 minutes it was making me hurt to much to continue. It kind of sucks as this was a very active weekend and I couldn't partake in any of it. I am starting to feel better so hopefully I can start working out again soon. I have been really watching my calorie intake so I didn't go overboard with food. You ladies all sound like you are doing great, keep it up! I have been setting mini goals to give me something closer to be motivated for. It seems to be working for me so I thought I would pass on the idea. I have a girls weekend away March 7-9 with mom's, aunts, sisters and cousins from both sides as well as my maid of honor. I used that as the "first big wedding event" motivator. Then in April I have my bridal shower and I want to feel good then too. Set a date or function each month to work towards so it isn't overwhelming to have a far off date to work to.

My dad went online to become a minister as my fiance and I are not overly religious. It is really special that he will walk me down the aisle and marry us as well. It was free for him to go online and get his certificate. If you have a special person you want to perform the ceremony it would be free and meaningful!

I wore a pair of jeans yesterday that I bought a year ago in a smaller size to motivate me. They would go on back then but gave me the ultimate muffin top. My fiance saw me when I got home from work and said a big "WOW" and how I looked really good and skinny. It felt really good to hear and to know they really fit finally! He hasn't noticed too much of my weight loss so far except to say my stomach looks pretty flat now. It really validated my efforts and gave me more of a push to continue! Are you girls started to have your results noticed by other people yet? p.s. I tried my dress on and it is too loose now in the waist and bust! WOO-HOO!!!

I have 15lbs to go to reach my goal weight but at this point I want to see more of a difference in how things fit and not worry so much about the scale. I just got into a smaller size jeans and am loving how good it makes me feel! Right now I am watching a show on WE called bulging brides. It has a nutritionist and personal trainer who overhaul the brides food and exercise for six weeks. It is really motivating to see what a difference just 6 weeks can make. If you get the channel I would recommend it!!!

I tried my dress on...it is getting loose around my waist and chest...YEAH ME! I haven't wanted to try it on because even though I have lost 15 pounds I was still freaking about it being too small. I feel better now. 80 days left until the big day!

Hey ladies. Sorry for not posting yesterday. My fiance took me to Reno for the weekend and we got back late last night. I tried to be good with my eating but I did have a few cocktails and not nearly enough water. I did not weigh myself this morning...sorry but I was not wanting to beat myself up! I don't have any plans for V-day as my fiance will be at work wed-thurs. He is a fireman so I won't see him until friday when I get home from work. Hopefully all of you will be having the romantic nights for me!!!

Down to 167 this morning! Feels so good to be heading down with the numbers! I was a little nervous about weighing in as I had too many drinks at a concert over the weekend...

I am down another pound this week. Not as fast as I would like but definitely in the right direction! I am noticing a huge difference in clothes now. My jeans are getting loose around my waist and thighs and it feels so good!

The buff brides video is around 45 minutes long if you do the whole thing. I think it is fun and it goes quick. My video came with the band you use during the workout. I use the video on days I want a change from just always using the elliptical. It helps me not get too bored. I also have never been a big sweater but I do get sweaty with the video. The book is really cool because it has two programs. One for people who have more time and then the 12 week program which I am doing. For the book program you need a balance ball, dumbbells and ankle weights. I love doing the exercises out of the book. It is cool because a lot of the things you do is with the ball and you work out the core muscles at the same time as upper and lower body just by staying balanced on the ball. I have been doing it for 3 weeks and can already see a difference as well as feel it.

I got the buff brides video and book. It is from the discovery health channel show and focuses on the areas you see in a dress. It is acutally a lot of fun and really is working! I bought it all on ebay pretty cheap.

So I can tell the stress is starting to hit me as I am having bad dreams about the wedding. Last night I woke up in a panic because I dreamt we were at the wedding and I had forgotten to bring our wedding vows. I have put my maid of honor and bridesmaids on notice that they will all have a copy the day of...just in case How are you all doing with working out? I have found the closer I am getting the more motivated I am to work harder at eating healthy and exercising. I am starting to crave work outs because it feels good to know I am doing something good for me and the tired muscles make me feel great.

I am down another pound this week! It has been a wierd week for me though. I have an IUD and don't get periods with it, but I think because of stress this week it gave me a period. It was kind of a shock as it has been about a year since I had a real period. At least I am still down even with it! Wedding plans are going really well. I can't believe I only have a little over 3 months to go...

If you look at my profile you can look at my dress. It is strapless with a sweetheart neck line. It has pink embroidery down the front and back. Hard to explain but I love it...

scarter: I bought my dress in June of last year. I was going to wait until I lost more weight but I kept having nightmares of it being discontinued. I talked to the seamstress at the shop and she said that my dress could be taken in 2 full sizes while maintaining the look of my dress. I dont foresee me going any smaller than that so I bought it to fit me at the time. I didn't want to buy it too small and then agonize over the weight loss. We are going to a working cattle ranch in Wyoming for our honeymoon. The ranch is over 300,000 acres. We will be bringing the cattle into the summer pastures on a cattle drive then helping with the branding and vaccinating of the calfs. I am really excited. My fiance has done stuff like this all his life so it will be fun for him as well as new in a lot of ways for me. YEEHAW! LOL
