Irishgirl · 04-25-2005, 09:06 AM

Hello Everyone!!! Figured I'd create a thread for future Brides. Any other Brides here? Would love to start a support thread for Brides !! ;-)

Not a bride anymore, but wanted to say good luck. Have you caught the TV show on FITTV, Buff Brides, this weekend's show was great and the workouts were fab. They both left 4 months to get ready, which is so much more sensible than some shows.

Good luck and have a wonderful life.

I'm glad to see this new thread. I'm getting married Oct 18, 2005.

I must admitt that my weight loss was motivated, because I want to look great for my new hubby.

And I dont want to have to buy my wedding gown in a plus size.

So I'm a weight liften, nordic tracken, walken, healthly food eaten bride to be. Hope everyone has a great day. Sabrina

I'm getting married August 14 2005. I already have my dress b ut I am hoping losing some weight will allow me to make some changes to the dress because of the extra material. I have been dieting about 10 weeks now and I have lost 17 pounds. Since november after I lost all my baby weight though I have actually lost and extra 5 pounds bringing my total weight loss to 21 pounds. Good luck ladies and beautiful blushing brides...we can do it!!!!

Hi this is a picture of my dress. The dress in the picture is pink and mine is actually white. [IMG]

[/IMG] As you can see it's quite plain but we are getting married in the middle of august...not the best time to be wearing a huge gown anyway. I would have loved a really nice one though. I loved the dresses on your bio Irishgirl. I had actually save the one you have with the colour I love it! The dress I originally wanted was $940 which I gather is pretty standard but my dad was buying it and mine was only $345 and I will have to get it altered of course. I love some of the other stuff on your page and have actually saved some of the same hairstyles. I am having an updo

Have a wonderful day and good luck with your weight loss ladies

Hello Ladies, sorry I havent been back sooner. Forgot where you were.

I havent bought my gown yet. I know I am leaving very little time for myself, but I refuse to shop while I am this big. Though I do have and idea of what kind of dress that I would like. I would like A-line gown, made of georgette with tiny embroiderd flowers on it. I also want sleeves so I will probably have to have it made. My colors are chocolate, cream and pale pink. Just looking through the web right now and bridal books to find something I would like.

That's abaout it for now, have a great day. Plus, if you have any favorate sites to recommend, let me know. I've already been to the knot. There is so much out there it's overwhellming.
