Hi all,

I'm 5'6" and I'm now 16 1/2 stone and a size 22/24.

When I met my H2B I was 9 1/2 stone and a size 12, although I felt huge then cause everyone told me I was really fat ( okay this was when I was in sixth year at school but it stuck.Wish I was that fat now!!!)

That was five years ago, and I've tried to lose weight but it just seems so useless cause nothing will budge.

I'm getting my dress made by my aunt so it'll fit no problem, but I would like to lose something before the day as my H2B keeps on at me about it every now and then ( at one point he was refusing to set a date until I was a size 12 again but that condition obviously hasn't stuck).

I know I'll look ok on my wedding day, but I'll always wish I had lost some of the weight I had put on.
But the up side is having big boobs on the day( getting a corset so they'll really be on show

!)as my H2B, and my friends keep complimenting me on, so I suppose it's one (the weight) or the other ( the boobs).:confused: .

Hi All,

5' 5'' and 16 stone 1 lb but going to weight watchers (and trying the slimming world diet too).

Got to lose 1 and a half inches to get into the shop sample of my dress, it's a size 20 (but I don't think wedding dresses are sized like normal clothes)

I went into one small wedding boutique and she took one look at me and said "Hmm we don't do larger sizes..." but the shop where I got my dress has been absolutely great, and has volunteered to take my dress out so I can see that I WILL get into it...they even let me borrow it for a weekend to take home for mum to see (she's 250 miles away)...I was worried about shopping for dresses at first...but they really relaxed me...and I never thought I would feel/look good, but I have to say I look like a princess in the dress (and out of it of course!)

Piccie for you all to see...
