Fit in My Dress

nykrystal426 · February 2012

So back in October when I first started trying on dresses, I was a little well lets say a lot over weight lol. So like every bride we all want to lose some weight. I purchased a beautiful gown from Davids Bridal in danbury in which the women who sold me the dress told me I would have to lose 40 lbs to fit in the dress... Well I am happy to say I fit in my dress today and I still have 5 months to my wedding...

Thank you everyone... Motivation and encouragement is Key to it. I went down 2 dress sizes and I am going for more. I will probably have to alter the dress smaller now. I am hoping to lose another 10-15 lbs by June.

Ok so here is how I am doing it... Just complete hard work. I started off slow because of the holidays so I lost 10 lbs back in November but with the holidays I got off the boat and stayed on the island of no weight loss until after New years. When News years hit I went strong at it. I joined Golds Gym and I attend their spin classes 4-5 times a week as well as their Boot Camp class 2 times a week. Unfortunately that isn't all that it took. I also watch my foot intake. I count my calories and try to stay away from fatty foods but still once in a while I cheat. I think everyone should have a cheat day.

If you have an App phone, I recomment "Lose It". It is an application in which you can count your calories and scan all types of foods into it so even when you are out you can still put in your calories and as well put in for your exercises.

BTW the lady at DB told me I needed to lose 40 lbs to go down 1 dress size. Does that make sense?. I also Have lose another 13 lbs from the 2nd week in January when I started again. This time I am going to continue. So since November I have lost a total of 23 lbs.

Thanks everyone again for the words of encouragement I will keep you updated.

@nykrystle I lost 15 lbs and was down a dress size in Davids so no I don't think that associate was correct!
