First round of dress shopping= depression ;(

Here it is, I like it but I must lose weight to love it.

Oh my gosh! You can't even tell it's a 14! You look beautiful

I weigh 120.... went to DB and the size that I fitted in was 14 also,,,,ssssssoooooo believe me its not you.....their dresses run small...

You look beautiful

OK I'm going to be brutally honest with you, honey you look beautiful! Stop being so hard on yourself! If you want to tone up a bit before the wedding,you still have plenty of time. But you look beautiful in that dress!

The dresses generally run small and you do not look like a size 14 in this dress.

Dont feel like that you end up wear 4 time the size in wedding gowns....you look beautiful in that gown

Oh sweetie! Wedding dresses are sooo freaking sized small. Makes me want to punch the designers in the nose & say um hello if you reversed that and made my size 14 butt a 10 i would buy it in a HEARTBEAT! but noooo we have the arse backwards thinking here in america =(

You have time to get motivated. I took baby steps myself as well. I was able to drop 20 lbs in a matter of 5 months. (that was the easy part, i am now maintaining when i want to lose more)

You are beautiful. Your FH loves you. He wouldn't be marrying you if he didn't. You will look fabulous. Dresses can be let out in the chest and tightened in the middle if needed. Sample dresses are the worst judge of anything.

There are plenty of ladies here who would be more than happy to be your FitnessPal buddy or WeightWatcher buddy if either of those are the routes you decide to take. I have done both and can highly recommend both programs.

Don't you dare think you are not going to be a beautiful bride, you most definitely are

Also i started typing the above post before you posted the picture. I tried that dress on, LORDY is it run small in the hips and such!! it is not meant for women with child bearing hips. I LOVED that dress btw and you look freaking fabulous in it!

OMG you look soo beautiful in that dress girl its you and you really cant tell you are the size you say you are. That is too gorgeous

You look absolutely beautiful.

Yes, the dresses do run small. I wear a size six and had to buy a size 12. It was big in the chest and the hips but fit in the waist. I felt like you do and it really messed with my mind but I am over that now...

I think it looks great! Girl I thought it looked like a size 6! You rock the hell out of it!

You look great. It just sounds like you're curvy. If you lose weight it shouldn't be to fit into a certain size dress. Honestly, it doesn't look like you're so overweight that it will affect your health horribly or something. Just sounds like your boobs were too big for the size that fit your waist. That's usually what it is if your dress zips halfway up your torso. Believe me, I know. Lots of experience with that. My height, designers think you should have A cups I guess. If you want to get more active and live a healthy lifestyle that's one thing, but brides don't all have to be certain number size. The measurements of one place's size 6 is another place's 14 anyway. Healthy diet and exercise is always good, but don't put too much pressure on yourself for a dress and don't be so down on yourself.

Aww I really appreciate your kind words, I was really feeling hard on myself! Why didn't they tell me they ran small! Geez

I tried this same dress on and it was a 14 it's not you it's this dress but you look great

Gowns run different then clothes my dress was a24 and I'm only a 20 in my jeans. plus those dresses have been tried on by so many ladies that they tend to stretch in certain areas

Ok so my fitness pal what is that? And pan my FH said "you better not lose too much weight" lol and Pan you're right I guess that is kind of crazy to try to lose massive weight for a dress. I feel a bit better now. Thanks guys( wiping tears)

Jaletia....I ended up buying my dress somewhere else and its a size 8....believe me I was like you....I felt horrible when I left there and went home to get on the scale to make sure I hadnt gained weight from the morning to the evening....so wipe the tears cause you look beautiful....

Jaletia, you look absolutely AMAZING!! They really do need to do something about their sizing so we don't walk away feeling so crappy.
