Wedding dress doesn’t fit !

Update: So far I feel a lot slimmer since cutting out sugar and fried foods! I already can tell and feel a difference!

What I am doing is Intermittent Fasting and heading to the gym for a vigorous walk up hill, almost everyday. You should do some strength training also!

So I had my fitting today, she had to take it in alot and its trumpet style. Needless to say it didn't fit! Thank God I have an arm tattoo and we tooks pics at the 1st fitting...the dress today was taken in so much near the bottom I couldn't get it to fit where it was supposed to on my chest. So the back sat way lower. We compared the pics I had to today and she has to take out the bottom and make it looser..I could barely walk. And she has to take the sides In more bc it's still to big on my hips. Ugh...i literally weigh 2lbs more than I did the first time I went. I know that's not the issue, it's how it was laying bc it was to tight and couldn't be pulled up the right way, but it makes me feel terrible about myself 😔

View Quoted Comment The keto diet is staying under 20 net carbs a day and using fat as an energy source. So coconut oil and animals fats and such. It’s basically trading carbs (which is essentially just sugar) and using fat instead. If you’re interested in learning more about the diet I really recommend the Netflix documentary The Magic Pill. Completely changed the way I eat and think about food!

She can’t let it out? Really? I mean no one wants to hear that (trust me when my lady said we needed to let my dress out I was like umm excuse you?) but sometimes it just needs to happen. My dress is also an Allure Bridal dress with lots of lace detailing and my seamstress let my dress out just fine. I know different dress different situation. But maybe looking into a new seamstress is better then forcing yourself to diet so hard core so quickly.

While popular, keto does present several health risks including gout so be careful!

Can the make dress into corset? That what they are doing to mine.

View Quoted Comment Most dresses can only be let our 2 inches or so.

View Quoted Comment Right, that’s how much mine was let out. But I’d its let out by 2 inches along with some moderate dieting then that should help drastically. I think it’s so sad when people feel like they have to go on some crazy diet just to fit into their wedding dress. Enjoy your engagement and wedding planning! Don’t stress yourself out.

I lost weight by drinking 2 protein shakes in replace of meals and only small actual meal at dinner like chicken with veggies or salad with chicken etc protein protein protein ....eating alot of eggs to will help as they are basically all protein and no carbs etc stay away from carbs and soda i drink only water and crystal light and its actually really good hope that helps good luck i lost 12 lbs doing this in 2 weeks so you csn have an idea how good it works and small snacks like light string cheese in between or veggies and some fruit

Did it end up working out??

Girll you can have hot wings on keto! Ive been on it since January and have stalled out but I lost 45 lbs in like 5 months!

Even if you simply increase your water intake and lower your sodium intake, you'll see that makes a HUGE difference.

Check the size of the dress that came in to make sure it's the size you ordered. It's possible that the dress that came in is mislabeled. See if the store can order a new one for you in your size if the size that came in is wrong or something.

I picked a dress that I knew I either had to lose 2 inches or get a bigger back peice. I tried and tried but I ultimately just chose to get the bigger back peice to be on the safe side!

I did the same exact thing, everything is based off my other dress. I bought a new one yesterday. I have lost 8 inches to get in a dress I had already, I have 3 1/2 or 4 inches to go in 79 days. I was feeling miserable and I was worried I wasn't going to get in it. I went to David's yesterday and just tried on every dress I could till I found one. I was actually able to buy off the rack, all the dresses I considered were in the warehouse and they said I would have them by Aug 22, if I wanted to order. My color scheme was also based off my dress, luckily I was able to find that perfect on that I love more, and my colors will go great! Good luck with whatever you want to do. I just know that I wanted to enjoy my next 3 months not kill myself trying to lose 3 inches in a place that may not lose even if i do lose the weight. I have been heavy and small and you don't always lose or gain in the same place twice. After 7 months of diet and cardio I just wanted to not cry over 3 inches. Either way whatever you do, you will be beautiful!

You can totally lose some inches in three months girl! You got this!

Yes chick fil a is literally my weakness! I recently started going back to the gym for similar reasons. My dress will zip but man it's tight! I don't wanna pass out bc I can't breathe on the wedding day haha. Best of luck, you'll figure it out!

Do some running or biking! Cardio really burns fat and it shouldn't take long to do.

Cut carbs and drink lots of water!! Wean off the carbs at first, because if not you could get “withdrawal” type symptoms... do some small workouts like some HIIT cardio and lifting some weights!! It will all help slim and tone!!
