Great Jennifer!!!! I have from that point (8/1/11) exactly 34 days left till we get married!! I've actually attained the goal I set for myself in the beginning....said I wanted to get back to 125 lbs., I'm 5'3", but said I'd settle for 130 lbs. by the time of the wedding and worry about the other five afterward! Well I've really been sticking to eating the right things to be able to lose and it's paying off. If my scale is right and I'm pretty sure it's damn close if not right then I've made it to 130 lbs. So now I'm working on the last five before the wedding yaaaaa of course it may mean my Mom having to take my dress in a little, but it's fitted enough that I don't think the 10 I'll have lost will make a huge difference, at least I hope not!! Good thing my Mom is an excellent seamstress!! That's put me at losing a whopping 35 of the 40 I had gained!!! Yeeeehaaaaaa!! BTW I have before and after pics posted in the before and after group.... :) Good luck girls, we can do this!!

31/5/0

Right, this time I am actually going to lose something. I have decided on a dress and don't want to order the size I had to try on, and I have e-pics booked in for Oct 15.

Therefore my goal this month is 31/4kg/0 (sorry, I don't know how to work in pounds).

Weigh in for Monday (this is an afternoon weigh in with clothes and shoes and the shoes weight 1 and a half lbs.) was 135. Weigh in Saturday morning without clothes was 127 by my really really old scales, but I think they're still pretty close! So here's what I'm going with anyway 31/5/0 with a weight of 135! :) So it's hitting the gym 4 times a week for 45 minutes of dumbell exercises and no lunch those days should do the trick!! Good luck ladies!! :)

Oh yeah and scratch taking up the dress, I got it friday and it likes at least 2 inches to zip so my mom is letting it out and some other things to make it look right :( 

OOOPS I forgot to check in on Monday!!!

31/8/0 (177lbs) got lots of work to do this challenge!!!

31/5/1.5 (133.4)  So I have my wedding dress completely apart (the bodice didn't fit at ALL) and the ugly metallic gold frog closures off, now we're waiting on the place that made it in China to send us a little over two yards of the lace used on it so that my Mom can totally remake the whole bodice!! Going to be two pieces instead of one and the top is totally different now.....it did have a v-neck with collar, now it's going to be like the sister Pippa's dress in the royal wedding!! Oh and we're lining the top with a light weight material so it's going to  be sooooooo much cooler!!! My mom is also going to make it scooped at the neck in the back also, plus putting a bustle in it (I have to paint the hooks so it will blend with my dress) we found a tulle flower with seed pearl cluster, a square crystal gem, and a regular sized pearl in the center and it totally matches the dress so we'll use that to cover where the bustle attaches!!! SOOOOO can't wait to see what it looks like!!!!!

I have lost 5 lbs in 1 week.  Keep me encouraged!!!  WEnt from 280 to 275!  Yeah!  My vow renewal isn't for awhile.  I want to be thin and and really beautiful form fitting dress next time!

Lost another 4 lbs. 217 lbs.  Total = 9 lbs

Hi all!! Sorry I have been away. I am back and ready to lose some stubborn pounds for my wedding day. Here it is ladies,
