Dieting before the big day?

[Dream.A.Dream]

I've read that most brides say they'll lose weight before they get married, and that most actually end up putting it on.

So, are any of you dieting for your big day? How much weight would be too much to lose in terms of the dress still fitting between ordering and the big day? I know they can be taken in but only so much xx

I'm going to be losing around 8-10lbs - just to take the chunk off my arms and banish any hint of a double chin x

I started my pre wedding diet yesterday, im hoping to drop 7/8lbs in 8 weeks which is totally do'able

Not too worried about my dress as it has a corset back so it'll fit me either way

I've put on weight since ordering my dress oops! I think its the pressure haha! I nearly died last week so I've eaten what I liked and gained a few lbs so back to weight watchers tonight =]

I think as a general rule, id say 7lbs is a good weight to lose, its not too much but its enough

especially for someone who doesnt look like they need to lose 7lbs is enough for people to go 'wow she looks good' without being too drastic xxx

ive noticed that a lot of brides seem to put weight "on" before big day.

Im 9stone now, well 8st 12/13 pounds

But at 5ft thats a a fair bit i think, 7 and a half looks about right for my BMI. so ideally id say a stone and a half i want to lose.

I have lost 8lb so far (another weigh in tommorrow - it'll be five weeks!) and I'm looking to lose another two stone, I think. Then am gonna stabilise! Will keep going until I look how I want to... don't wanna be a skinny minny but it'd be nice to be toned again!

I call it cutting out junk, cos I don't like to consider it as a diet. I have lost around 4-5 pounds, and would like to lose a few more. I'm pretty happy with my new slimmer waistline though.

I would ideally like to lose a stone but don't think I will in 12 weeks, but I have lost 2/3lb in the last 2/3 weeks so maybe I could. My dress fits so i'm not too bothered but I would prefer to be a little bit skinnier xx
