Lose weight in order for the dress to 'fit'
I know I'm not overweight and I don't want anyone making mean comments but my dress is a size 8 but I feel like I NEED to lose around 6/7lbs to make it actually comfortable ?
I'm trying hard but I have such a sweet tooth!!

I'm ashamed to say this but I had to buy a new dress off the rack a week before my wedding as I could get in and do it up but I wouldn't have been comfortable Blush

The new dress was ok, but not a patch on the one I'd been picturing myself in for a over a year..so tape that mouth up and get running! GrinGrin I've got rid of the new one and kept the perfect one (which dh is mega pissed off with as it has no sentimental value whatsoever!) Let me be your cautionary tale! Grin

I've bought mine in the size I was before Christmas.

I was a stone and half over weight and did 30 Day Shred for six months. No bloody difference I thought....however I did the Blood Sugar diet and in 6 weeks I had lost all the weight and you could see PROPER MUSCLES! I lots mostly from my tummy and it went flat and you could see it was toned. Loads of people commented on my toned arms too.

So a Shred and diet. Back on it after ageing a bit lax this winter.

Yes it's shameful but you don't sound like you will share my story, just wanted to point out what happens if u don't stay on track! GrinBlush

All good here. Had a dress fitting today and it fits perfectly! I've still got 7 weeks so going to stick with my low carb and exercise but essentially just to maintain. It was great over my stomach area. Felt really confident in it and glad I stuck it out. I've only lost few lbs but I'm clearly no where near as bloated / retaining water like I was. So excited for the wedding now. One more fitting in a few weeks then I'll have my dress!! :)
