Got my engagement pics. Ugh...

I think you are being too hard on yourself, you look great!

Girl, you are adorable! I love those!

Thank you guys. I guess I just pictured something different in my head and wasn't happy.

You guys look great!

You look absolutely beautiful!

I see the look of love in your eyes. That's most important!!you're beautiful!

LauraM- I feel the same way and everyone says "no, you look gorgeous ". It doesn't help. Your pictures remind me of my wedding dress shopping trials- it's really in the positions.

The photo of you with your arms around FH is AMAZING!!! You are glowing, look happy and comfortable.

Please know that we often see and judge ourselves more critically than others do. Focus on being happy and comfortable.

Ps- check out fat girl walking, Brittney has lessons about loving ourselves at all points and sizes in our lives.

As far as losing weight- it's different for everyone. I have ZERO willpower so cutting carbs is not an option for me. I do CrossFit because it's different all the time, scaleable, and I can be competitive with myself. Find a fitness activity that makes you want to do more, not consider it a chore.

Going through the same thing but I have yet to take the pictures. I am trying to loose 10 pounds before June 12th and 40 before next year

I love these pictures! You look great!!

By the way you loom great

Oh I think the pictures are beautiful! Especially the family picture and the one where you have your arms around your FHs shoulders! I think they look great!

Kristy always has fabulous advice! I know cutting out soda drops weight fast too. I'm not a soda drinker at all, but I know many who are, and the ones who cut soda out, saw positive changes in their body.

Here's the thing: people love YOU and are coming to celebrate YOU. You want to look like YOU on your wedding. Yes, be healthy, but to try to lose a bunch of weight just for some photos is silly. You look fabulous and you're gorgeous. Flaunt what you got and hold your head high. Your fiance loves YOU and how you look. Embrace that.

Your pics are really cute! You are definitely being too hard on yourself!

I lost 40lbs over about 8 months through WeightWatchers. Tracking worked well for me because although I THOUGHT I was eating healthy, using points helped me realize how the things I was eating added up and I was able to make better choices. The meetings helped me figure out when I was making poor choices and how to combat tough moments.

Good luck and I second what Lisa said about incentivizing with a mani/pedi and massage when you hit mini goals!

You look great! I especially like the photo of you looking up at FH - your smile is genuine!

I love those!

I think you look lovely! Try to set a reasonable weight loss goal for yourself. You have time, but you want to make sustainable changes. Weight watchers has worked for me in the past but I have gotten tired of tracking everything. Look into books on clean eating and I recommend the my fitness pal app for tracking calorie intake. It really is eye opening how easily one can go over depending on what you choose to eat. Just remember that you don't need to look like a whole new person on your wedding day.

Pics are beautiful!! You look great!!

The pics are beautiful! But I understand you I always do the same
