Weight for your wedding
Are you at the weight you hoped to be at your wedding?
We are still (well March 31 brides) 2 months and some change out, but I am nowhere near what I wanted to be.
I'd need to lose 20lbs to be where I hoped to be for my wedding. It's so depressing, I could cry. I really feel like I failed myself. I just like food too much.
Where does everyone else stand?

Re: Weight for your wedding
(I'm going to have a little pity party for myself right now, fair warning)
I lost over 100 pounds about 10 years ago on Weight Watchers and kept about 80-90% of it off until 2009 when my dad's cancer came back. I dealt with it by eating. If I wanted fried foods, screw it, I ate it. I also hurt my hip around that time and stopped really going to the gym, at least not nearly as much. My dad died in Dec. 2010 and while I'm not eating to deal with it as much, I have completely gotten away from all the healthy eating habits I had.
So now I'm getting married in 2 months and I weigh about what I did before I started Weight watchers. I know FI doesn't care (he met me after the diagnosis, when I had put a lot of the weight back on) but I look at myself in the mirror and I hate it. But I also haven't done anything about it. I keep telling myself I'll go back 'tomorrow' but so far tomorrow hasn't come. On Tuesday I go for my first fitting and I'm so terrified that I've gained even more weight since I bought it in May. I remember looking at myself in a mirror and thinking "ok, for the most part I look ok, but I want to get rid of this double chin before the wedding" and now my double chin is larger instead.
*sigh*

I totally understand. I feel like the toughest part about not being the weight I want is that I was totally okay with letting myself down. It's something I REALLY wanted (to be skinny on my wedding day) and I didn't even try to attain it. :(
I also feel like if my wedding wasn't motivation enough, nothing ever will be.

I believe in a lot of things. I believe in fresh tennis balls, the healing power of bunnies, and that the novels of Susan Sontag are something I'll never read. In fact, I don't even know who Susan Sontag is. What is she... like... a painter? I believe in Crystal Lite because I believe in ME. I believe in the movies of Val Kilmer, though these days it ain't so easy. I believe in Darren Sproles, the word "dabble", the first season of "Silk Stockings", and big, warm, moist, gooey chocolate chip cookies that melt in your mouth and all over your face.
[QUOTE]So <strong>I'm closer to my goal weight than most of you ladies and my complaints might seem trivial to you, but everyone has their own goal weight. I am a "healthy" weight, but I still wish I was just a tad bit smaller. I think that truly most of my issues revolve around toning and not actual weight.</strong> I did manage during the initial stress of the wedding to lose abot 7 lbs of weight that I hadn't been able to kick for years. At that point I was fairly satisfied. My tummy was flatter, my love handles shrunk some. I felt totally comfortable in my body. And when I am only 5'3" that is a visible difference to my body and its shape. Well I already put some of it back on and I can tell. Its a little sad because I wanted to be a little more confident in the bathing suit on the honeymoon. <strong>I'm just a) not motivated to work out.

I am with you Whit!!!
I wish I could get down to 125 for the wedding but I am trying to be realistic...I have NEVER been that weight as an adult (not even in high school) and I am currently working out 4 times a week and eating healthy about 5 days a week (I tend to splurge on the weekends cause FI always wants to go out). And I feel like I can't do anymore than that. I am maintaining at about 130-132 doing that and I am just going to be happy. My dress fits good and I don't have to get in a bikini after the wedding (yay for ski honeymoon!) Sure my thighs and pooch are a little bigger than I wish they were, but at some point you just have to find your happy weight! Sure I could work out 6 times a week and eat healthy 7 days a week to get there, but I feel like I would be miserable...I love food tooo much and hate working out!

Still here and still fabulous!
Ever since being engaged I've had the same battle, I'm motivated for a few weeks and then I lose it. I was SUPER motivated before the boudoir shoot, I worked out at least 5 days a week and ate really, really. well. However, since it's been over and my dress still fits, I find myself using that as an excuse to not work out or focus on eating healthy. I don't necessarily eat badly, but I love dessert. I love snacking, it's a horrible habit. The last couple weeks I've worked out like twice a week, which is better than nothing, but still not enough. I don't ever weigh myself so I don't know how much I lost or how much I've gained back, but I can tell with the way my clothes fit. I always tell myself, I'll start fresh on Monday. The last couple of weeks it hasn't totally worked out for me.
So, again. I'll try to start fresh tomorrow.
March 2012 Knotties Siggy Challenge - Favorite Engagement Picture
I played bball in college and thought that since I was in the best shape of my life I'd never get below 130 (5'7" @ 135 in college) but shortly after becoming engaged I lost 5-8 lbs and went from size 6/8 to 4... not sure if it was the stress, a few minor eating habit changes, or BC change -- haha -- but now I'm just hoping to maintain it and tone up before the wedding. I too have lost a lot of motivation... mostly because I keep telling myself that finishing wedding details is most important, THEN I'll go to the gym. Once February hits, I need to stop using that as an excuse and start dropping some of the details. I've already dropped creating a menu for each table setting.
There's still time ladies!!
