Honey, believe me, you will fit in that dress. I do OMAD and have found that I dont need to eat more than that. Stress causes weight gain, its some hormone thats released, so just take a breath, let it out slow and remind yourself that even if you were getting married in a potato sack, you are marrying the man you love and everything else will fade to the background.

You will be a beautiful bride! And I agree with Klynn82, stress, hormones and water retention are frustrating! Just know it will come off if you stay the course, trust me! Enjoy your wedding planning, wedding and parties. Hold tight to these special days and celebrate love 😊

Avoid weighing yourself daily, it will make you crazy. Instead, weigh yourself every 3 or so days. If you are yo yoing check that you are within your macros and calorie limitations and DRINK LOTS OF WATER!
When I gain or plateau, I check my macro counts and typically I can find the mistakes Ive made to gain or stop weight loss.
To stay in ketosis, be sure to eat enough fat and keep your protein in check, too much protein will kick you out of ketosis.

You need a hug. There you go. Keep calm, kiss your honey and tell him you love him. You are ok. Have a FANTASTIC weekend.

don’t fast during breakfast, i recommend eating more during the earlier parts of the day and lowering the calorie count for dinner. this is because you can burn off breakfast easier than dinner due to the time of day. i wish you the best of luck!!

Cortisol the stress hormone will cause you to gain weight. Ironically fixating on your weight and stressing about it will make you put more weight on.. Rather than worry about the scales, get active doing things you enjoy that will de-stress you ie go on a cycle trip or take up running or get into a yoga class... all of these will raise your anti-stress and break down cortisol. Even going to events that you enjoy and make you happy to take your focus off the number on the scales . These things will keep you happy and distracted and the weight will fall off you x

I don't fast or do keto so I can't comment on that. I will offer that you can be kind to you. I choose to weigh in weekly - same day same time (mostly) to be consistent. Our bodies are such amazing machines and they will do funny things based on our individual chemistry. I wish you all the best on your upcoming wedding and you life adventure.

if you are falling out of ketosis maybe there is some hidden carbs in a new food you are eating, or maybe you are getting too much protein and it is building up more gloucose than your excersise can get out. sorry my spelling is bad. when I am stressed I find the exercise helps a lot to distract me. all the distress advise is right on, wedding plans are definitely a biggy.

Scales can feel devastating to everyone, even those that are staying on track. I agree that hormones can have a huge effect. Sometimes I walk or run after a disappointing weigh in. It burns calories and helps clear my head. Your fiance cares about you being there, not about what dress you fit into. Please try to enjoy the beautiful day for what it is, not how you appear to everyone, including yourself.

Just from looking at your last 2 journals with your meals, you're eating way too many carbs. Lasagna is not keto friendly, neither is a frittata. lol.. That's probably why you can't stay in ketosis.

I echo what everyone else is saying here. Planning a wedding is stressful enough in itself. You have a man who loves you no matter what and that's all that matters!!

Have you thought about a fat fast or an egg fast? I’ve heard they are super effective at helping you lose in a short time. It could help you feel better in your dress... congrats by the way!

When were losing fat, sometimes our body starts to store water in it's place. If that's what's happening the water will come out eventually.
