What is your current weight and what is your goal weight? The more you have to lose the more will come off in the beginning. I read somewhere on average you will lose 10lbs a month. But, in the beginning, if you have a lot to lose you could easily lose 30lbs in the first month.

My guess is that you will lose at least 50 lbs, which is probably about 4-5 sizes. So, if you are a 16 order a 12, then they can take it in. It is easier to take it in then add to it.

I agree, it's easier to take in then take out, depending on the dress, just factor in the charge for an alteration,which can up to another $100. go with the size you are in May or maybe go down 1 size from then, You don't want to add anymore pressure on yourself.

I love weddings

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
