Ok ladies this is my wedding dress. I've already bought it. It's non refundable. Here's the problem I've been 125 for a while now. Well lately I've been so discouraged I've been eating like crazy. Like 700 over. Mfp keeps telling me if I ate like this every day I would be 132. That CAN NOT happen. You can see there isnt much room in the dress. Why is my motivation gone?? I have no problem being 130 but that can't happen until October the 14th. I know motivation has to come from within but where has mine gone? :((

Wow you look amazing!!! Yeah motivation definitely comes from within but with the stress of an upcoming wedding, it's actually VERY common for brides to gain a little bit of weight because of everything going on. I did! I was heavy to begin with though so no one really could tell a difference. Just try to stay within your limits as much as possible, workout to combat the stress of it all, and you'll be great!

This is true. I guess I could try it on the month before and get serious if it doesn't fit. I really wouldn't mind a few lbs but now is just badddd timing Lol.
Good luck dress shopping!!! It is so fun :)

 I LOVE your dress! Use it as your motivation! Keep that picture somewhere that you look at it all the time and it can remind you to control your portions and make healthier decisions.

You look absolutely stunning and I can only hope to find a dress that looks as good on me as you look in yours!

Gorgeous!!

Continue to eat the way you are, and workout more. Particularly with weights --heavy weights. 

What has you discouraged? Don't really want to get married to the human involved? Or something else?

I've just been so stressed lately. I didn't want a big wedding and now there are tons of details that keep popping up. We are moving in a month, the twins are turning one, just a bunch of stuff that has me wanting to crawl up on the couch with a bottle of wine and a dozen cupcakes lol.
Just a bunch of no good excuses!

(don't be stingy with your friends and family --they feel good about themselves when they can really help, why would you stop them feeling good about themselves?!?)
