how do you plan to get sized up for a wedding dress when you plan to lose alot of weight? I am a size 16 and plan to be a size 14 for the wedding. Its not pie in the sky I am already down from an 18 and i am doing really well (can't imagine eating rubbish like i did before) but there is such a worry that the weight loss will stop and i will be stuck where i am now!
Should i just order a 16 and see about getting it taken in or can that spoil the look of the dress?
Help me because I have no idea about dressmaking |

It all depends on when you are getting married, dont order your dress to soon. Why not have a word with the salespeople they will be able to advise you and help you make a more informed choice. Congrats on weight loss, I have lost nearly 5 stone in ayear and a half and am down to a size 14, it's a great feeling.  |

Yes Mo it is great, I would like to inspire others who are worried about loosing weight and I am sure you can back me up on this.
Really honestly once you get used to eating sensibly and you see results you don't even want fatty food. I smell fatty food and it smells awful! I never thought i would say that but its true |

I think once you can see the weight come off it gives you such a boost you want to carry on. First time I got married I had a size 18 dress but didn't realise how big I was. Now a slinky size 14, my dress has just been ordered and I am buzzin  |

You go girl!
What diet are you following? I am doing something along the lines of the GI diet, the idea taken from the programme 'you are what you eat' i have cut down on bread, carbs, crisps chocolate, coffee (with sugar) and bigged up the veg, fruit, green tea, and nuts, seeds & fatty fish (because you need fat, just good fat).
I told H2B join me or cook for himrself. I have even attended the chippy while he got his fish and chips while i (really) had visions of my veggie stew I had in mind |

Not really following a diet, Just going to the gym and only having the odd bar of choccy, thats my downfall, such a sweet tooth.  |

| I can't deal with the gym, just can't bring myself to go there after work. I have been cutting out the shit in my diet though and it is amazing the effect it has |

| It's not so bad for me cos I stay at home with the kids while h2b works , so when he comes in I get my time away from home, and the kids. Works fine for us. |
