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.

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!

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!

Well I'm prolly in between a 20_22 depending on the brand of jeans. And I'm down 43lbs in 2 months but I want another 30 off in 6 weeks. Id love to be 200lbs our just under for the wedding.

I've also been working out everyday with the new Shaun t workout. Focus T25.

I am 4 months PO and have lost 75 lbs. so far. 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.

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...

Haven't tried it on yet but have measurements for the size 18 & I'm not there. I still have like 4 inches to lose in my butt and hips. The top already needs taking in. I'm bigger on bottom.

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.

Its more empire waist. Tight and pulled around stomach, strapless top. Its a shorter dress not floor length.

You may get lucky . Can you try on the dress in another size maybe like a 20 and see how it fits?

Nope had to order it.

I hate that they do that! So frustrating! Good luck! Keep us updated!
