meggz 1 Posted August 1, 2013 I'm 2 months post OP and I've lost 43lbs but I'm so scared I'm not gonna hit my first goal. I started at a size 24 & I need to be a size 18 by sept 13th. Im in my brothers wedding and my bridesmaids dress is a 18. That's actually like a 16 in normal sizes. Im so scared im not gonna make it. I lost 4 inches in my hips but I need to lose 5 more in 6 weeks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MIJourney 490 Posted August 1, 2013 Sorry you've been put or put yourself into a deadline. Not that it won't happen but would think the stress of thinking about it would be tough. Just make sure you're following all your guidelines. Hope it all works out for you! 1 SuzyB reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ashelaine 383 Posted August 1, 2013 I'm almost 9 months out- I had 113 lbs to lose. I lost the first 50 in 2.5 months. I have lost the next 42 over the next 7 months. I'm still losing- it is just much slower. That being said- I've dropped clothing sizes pretty quickly! 1 meggz reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I noticed that I starting stalling when I added in fruit and vegetables so I cut the amounts of those and try to stick to mainly Protein. 1 meggz reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
marfar7 1,533 Posted August 1, 2013 Did you actually try on the dress or just order it at an 18? Just curious. you said an 18 is more like a 16 in real clothes sizes. I think it's more like a 10! 18 mths ago, I got down to my lowest adult size (post lapband - before it slipped) which was 144. When I went in to get fitted for my wedding dress (an actual bridesmaid dress, not a white gown - heck, I'm 46! And 2nd wedding), they measured me. The top half measured a 16 and the bottom half measured a 4. And I was wearing a size 8/10 at the time. Not sure why the bridal world has so much difference in sizing. needless to say, they had to tailor my dress alot. most of my weight is on top and I had to order a 16. Just thought I'd check to see if you knew... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The top already needs taking in. I'm bigger on bottom. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ashelaine 383 Posted August 2, 2013 Is it an aline? If so- you might get lucky . And I will say the measurements never match! I just had to buy a formal dress for a black tie wedding. After looking online- my busy measurement puts me in a size 20, my waist at a 12 and my hips at a 16. However- I was in 10's solidly and even needed a 6 in one dress.
