Anyone afraid of losing TOO much weight?

I bought my dress back in November at a size 22(Yuck) After I did so, I gained ten pounds with all the stress and through the holidays. A few weeks ago, I weighed in and was like @#$% I need to lose weight! So since then, I have been eating clean and working out for roughly 2 hours a day. In the last two weeks, I have lost 12 pounds. As exciting as that is, I'm wondering if I could lose TOO much weight once my dress comes in. I wouldn't mind paying for the alterations, but I have heard that sometimes the dress can't be altered too much smaller. If I lost 20 more pounds, do you think I'd be safe? The dress zips up in the back, not a corset. =/

    Hi Kristen, first of all good for you for losing the weight, don't worry about losing too much cause you're worried that the dress can't be altered, I use to alter wedding gowns, I had a couple that was 12-14 and I took them apart to make a 1-2, so it can be done, just take care of yourself, I know what it's like, at one time it took me three and half years to loose 100 pounds, I lost fifteen and a half inches of my hips and waist each and eight and a half inches off my bust and my thighs I lost eleven and a half inches on each one, I went from a size 20 to a size 4 and I have kept it off for seven years so I applaud anyone who loose weight!

    Oh and also - you can have a zipper back converted to a corset back if you want to. Just in case you start fluctuating like crazy. Might be $$$ but it's another option.
