I bought my wedding dress in the UK about 2 months ago..before i came back to the states on the K1.

IT fit in the store, but when my dress came in from the warehouse it was wayyy to tight, so they sent it off to be altered, it fitted a week before i came to the US. The thing is ive put weight on and my dress is still back in England, my mom is bringing it over when she arrives on Tuesday. So i cant try it on.

I tryed on my interview trousers and they still fit, but my bust is a little bigger in the shirt.

My wedding is in about 9 days time, any ideas on some quick weight loss??

LOL, maybe a miricle.

well as Jaylen helpfully told me once...chop off a leg :lol:

You must be single minded and determined for a quick weight loss in a short time period.....as I have been doing the South beach diet I would certainly recomend starting that cos the first 2 weeks are very strict and result in a good weight loss....

Good luck! you can do it! :thumbs:

ooooh man have I been there. When I was 18 and a debutante the dress was a wedding type dress. They had to cut off the train and make the dress bigger.

Ugh.

I don't know. I'd probably do something unhealthy for those nine days...bad as it sounds no HEALTHY weight loss plan is going to work miracles in 9 days.

Finally finished with immigration in 2012!

:o:o JOHN!!!! ROTFL!!!!

I didn't say it was a GOOD idea. But ... it will cause a quick weight loss. I suppose death could be one possible side effect, but the primary goal was weight loss.

Drink only V-8 juice for a few days. You'll get your fruits and veggies without all the extra calories. :thumbs: I do this on occasion and I have lost up to 6 pounds in a week before.

I've lost 10 lbs in 1 day with the chicken.

Ah! the stuff of bridal nightmares.

Ok hmm, the quickest lost is going to be water weight, you'd be amazed how much you can lose. I never ever condone this sort of thing because it isn't healthy in the long term but in this case...

NO MORE SALT! Lower your sodium as much as possible. Start drinking endless amounts of water now. It seems strange, I know, but the more water you drink the less in your body. Your body because so saturated with water it realizes it doesn't need to store it and will start shedding it (stay close to the W.C.). Start popping calcium pills. Excess calcium wont' hurt you, I promise, but your body can only absorb 500mg of calcium at one time....usually calcium tablets are 600mg. I would take 2 at a time, that extra 700mg will simply get shedded by your body and take with it excess water, waste...it's not something thats going to make you drop 10lbs overnight but its a safe, effect way to get rid of water retention quickly.

Good luck, I'm sure you are going to look amazing!

Undercooked chicken... :lol: stay away from my caterer

And so he did what countless punk-rock songs had told him to do so many times before: he lived his life

10/07/2006 WEDDING DAY!

11/14/2006 AOS packet made it to 'the box' after being overnighted.

12/02/2006 Paul had biometrics

12/14/2006 AOS Forwarded to CSC AND AP Application approved.

01/17/2007 First touch of 2007 at CSC

01/20/2007 Touched AGAIN (also the 18th) come on...

February: Oops, RFE for a REGISTERED marriage certificate. Oops! Overnighted it.

02/28/2007 Paul gets email letting us know his GREENCARD is on it's way! It's done...for now!

03/09/2007 Paul's greencard arrives. And breathe...

We began with mailing the I-129 in on February 27, 2006 so the whole process took us approx. one year.

Good luck out there!
