Or is that I need a good run? Perhaps three times a week for at least 30 minutes?
My wedding gown arrived at Bridals by Lori in Atlanta mid-April, but I was too stressed and panicked at school to even care. Now that I’ve been home sweet home for a while, I’ve focused on all things wedding related, my dress included. “It’s time to start my dress fittings!” I thought to myself. A slight feeling of excitement was soon eclipsed by an overwhelming dread; my clothes have been feeling a lot tighter lately. It was time for the moment of truth: I needed to weigh myself. I stepped on the scale and was highly disturbed by the numbers glaring back at me. I have gained 13 lbs since Spring Break. OH MY GOD.
How did this happen? Sure, I quit the swim team, exercised only once on my own, and kept a regular diet of fast food on top of the late nights spent working on school projects… I don’t even want to see my dress, let alone try the darn thing on.
My goal is to lose 18 lbs. Think I can do it?
For anyone trying to lose weight, tone up, etc, there are slew of websites devoted to helping such as the SELF Challenge, Brides Magazine Vow to Wow, and Body by Glamour. I signed up for all of them. One can never have enough motivation.

Here’s me in the sample size of my dress. It was a little too big then but would probably be on the small side now. Where did I put that darn treadmill?
