Hi all! I am getting married on September 17, 2011 -- just 80 days away!! I have been working out and eating "low fat" and "low cal" for about six months now and haven't achieved the weight loss I wanted. Thus.... I am here! I started full low carb on Saturday and I am doing great so far! I am currently at 139 and would like to be at 125 for the wedding - whether that is an attainable goal, I don't know - but I am going to sure try!!! Oh and here is a link to my dress...http://www.weddingshoppeinc.com/Uplo...201024x768.jpg

Welcome Macc!

How exciting, only 80 days away! That dress is GORGEOUS, btw. I did the low fat/low Cal for a while too, lost some weight, and gained it all back because my metabolism crashed big time. This time I'm losing slowly, but I have a feeling its going to stay off for good.

Welcome again and Congrats!!

Thank you!! It is approaching so quickly!! EEK! I weighed today just because I was curious and I am down to 137 -- 2 pounds since Saturday! How exciting!!!! I have NEVER seen that kind of progress with any other "diet" that I have tried. And the best part -- I am not STARVING myself!!

Mornin' and happy friday! I am down 8 pounds since May 20th -- that is my celebration for the day

I will would like to lose at least 10 pounds before the wedding - not sure if that will happen but I am going to try!!

I have my first dress fitting on July 18th -- kind of nervous to put my dress on again!!!! EEK -- I don't remember what I weighed last time I put it on - but hopefully I will be another couple pounds lighter on the 18th!!

Have you guys tried on your dresses yet? How long do you have left till the wedding??

And I met with the wedding planner last night to nail out some more details -- the wedding is coming so quickly!! EEK!! So excited

Macc, I still have 11ish months until my wedding, but then again I have a good 75lbs or so that I would like to lose. I've tried on some dresses, but haven't ordered one yet because I don't know how much my sizes will change. I'm hoping to be down to at least an 8 if not smaller before i buy a dress, but we'll see. Right now i'm a 16, so it might be a hard to reach goal, but it's something to shoot for at least.

Hey ladies!
Sorry about my delay in posting. Between school, work, family, and OH YES... wedding stress I am exhaaaaaausted.

My weightloss is in a real slump at the present time...
I haven't lost ANYTHING but on a more positive note I haven't gained either. I've decided to climb back up on this horse and kick it in gear! Sunday marks 2 months till the big day - OMG.......

Welcome Maac!

You girls are inspirational! I'm a mother-of-the-bride, DD is getting married end of August in Colorado....so about 4 1/2 wks away! I had hoped to be 15 lbs lighter by then, now I'm aiming for just 10 lbs! I've been on meds for sinus infection for weeks that doesn't allow me to have milk/milk products/including whey (which really interferes with my usual LC diet!!) Just had sinus surgery 2 days ago. I was looking around for ideas and motivation, and found all of you! Thanks!! Going to DD's today (out of state) to work on wedding details.....Praying we don't stress each other out. I want to be a blessing and have her have a wonderful time!! Any advice for moms?? (My DD is 26 yo). I'll take it!!!

No advice for moms, as I am only 23, but when I am looking to lose weight relatively fast I cut out dairy and some veggies and notice a dramatic lose in as little as 3 days. Also drink lots of water!

This is the dress:

I'm having it made with a lace-up back and a fuschia petticoat.
