Wedding 3 weeks and Think I look like a STUFFED sausage now....

Melanie, on August 16, 2010 at 9:55 AM Posted in Planning 0 16

I wanted this dress for so long and I lost almost 40 lbs and looked great in this dress, but during finals (nursing school) I put on maybe 5 lbs..so I am in the process of losing that weight.. My wedding is in 3 weeks and I am so down on my self I hate the way I look in my dress now.. This pic was before dress was pressed and drycleaned... Also I have not choosen my bra,girdle what ever yet.. and my hair will be down.. curls and pulled up on sides and with veil..... What undergarments would u reccomend to suck in all the fat lol.........and do I look ok?

    Not that you dont look great but honestly if you start working out now... (30 day shread or just anything really) you will fill way better about yourself and have more energy regardless of if your body changes at all

    Thanks ladies.. of course that pic was a quick, nasty hair in ponytail no make up pic lol..........I think I am getting the wedding nerves, obviously I need to get strapless, but I may try a corset... but I am not wearing hose, so I am afraid it will roll up around my stomach..

    See the fat under my arm pits.. thats what I am worried about.. I know I can't "stuff"them in lol.. but now I think my stomachs puffy.. when I tried on dress today, its a bit tight now cause of that weight......grrrrrrr, now I am gonna have to work hard to get those lbs back off

    Have you tried pulling your dress up just slightly? That will put the material on the side of the dress over those areas you are worried about instead of under them. You look great by the way.

    I honestly don't think you look like a stuffed sausage. I've heard body magic does wonders...I'd look into those and once you're all done up with hair and make up on your wedding day you're gonna look and feel gorgeous so don't stress too much. eat healthy and try to work out until the wedding day. Good luck!

    I don't think you look like a stuffed sausage. A corset or spanx will make an enormous difference and it will really streamline you.

    I think it'll look different when you have on your undergarments. But I understand about wanting to look your best. I'm doing a boot camp for myself until my wedding date (19 days). Want to join in?

    Also, if you are concerned about your arms, get a regular bottle of water and start doing arm curls, extensions, etc. The bottle - full - will be about 1 lb and it will help tone, too.

    And I totally reccommend the 30 Day Shred. It's Wedding Dress Approved :-)

    I think you look great! But maybe try a longline bra. It will give you some suport and serve to hold you in a bit, just for confidence's sake Smiley smile

    Don't stress, you look fine. I think we all have problems with our weight and how we look. We are never good enough for ourselves. But seriously, you look great. You can go to http://www.fredericks.com/corsets/bridal-corsets/co3,default,sc.html?defaultOpt=true&all1=all and get a shapewear corset. They slim and still look sexy. That's where I'm getting mine

    I know how tanning is taboo, but even a fake tan can make you look slimmer and give you that wedding glow. Test it out now to make sure you don't get orange. YOU LOOK GREAT IN THAT DRESS!! Once the hair and makeup are done you really see how beautiful you look! I got a long line bra at JC Penny for like 50 bucks, it sucks me in and doesn't roll up or give me fat bulge at the bottom. Just make sure it hits you at the hip. Drink lots of water and hold off on the booze and you'll be feeling great come wedding day! Good Luck!
