Ah, the wedding dress. I just got married in January, so I understand. Last April, I started working out (I do the FIRM) a lot, and instead of losing weight, I gained about 10 pounds, which has since come off. But what I gained was solid muscle, and by the time my wedding rolled around, I was much more toned. I looked much thinner than I had a year before. Keep going with the LC WOE, and start doing some strength training. The exercise will pay off very quickly. I also recommend Pilates to strengthen your core... it can help quite a bit too. Take measurements, or better yet, take pictures of yourself. I do a picture in my workout clothes every couple of weeks, and the difference is startling. No matter what, you will be beautiful at your wedding.
Also.... now this is a delicate subject... how's your fiber intake? If solid waste isn't moving through your intestines like it should be, you can easily have a couple of pounds of waste in your system, which also makes you feel really bloated.
