welcome and congats on your little one.

i've been a "fat" bridesmaid and maid of honor several times.
and i think i looked awesome...

the main thing you have to do is make sure the dress is comfortable and flattering for your body type, it really helps if the bride takes you with her while she is choosing dresses, that way you can have an say in the style of dress..

my friend Monica had me as her maid of honor, and she wanted me to wear a tank style dress.. i told her absolutely not, cause if i couldn't wear my good old industrial strength bra.. it aint happening.. she did change her mind and we ended up getting a beatiful, short sleeve aline dress that looked great but was kinda pricey.

my other frind Jay, took me and the skinniest girl with her dress shopping (the 2 hardest people to fit) and she let us pick whatever dress we both agreed on.

Angela, hi! First of all, I just want to give you a big ole hug. I certainly felt your frustration and hurt in your post, and wanted to tell you that I have been there too. I'm so sorry that you backed out of being MOH for your best friend's wedding. Why hon? You were picked by your friend to stand up for her on one of the biggest days of her life. YOU are that important to her. While I can certainly understand, don't get me wrong. 5 years ago my sister was getting married and asked me to be MOH. My first thought was OMG, I can't do that, look at me, I'm huge! Once I got over that initial shock, I did manage to lose about 50 lbs before her wedding. However, it all came back over the last few years. More importantly, no one was looking at me!

Don't forget too, you've just had a baby! Be kind to yourself sweetie. I know you must be gorgeous already, I mean, c'mon, look at that sweet baby's face! :) Remember, your body has been in total turmoil for 9 months!!

Yes, you CAN do this! One foot in front of the other, baby steps & one day at a time. We are all here to cheer you on to victory and lend a hand when you need it. Stay strong, hang tough & keep shining!

Angela-

First of all your daughter is beautiful! Second of all- she could be your biggest motivator. I am trying to get down to 135-140 from 270 before my husband and I try to conceive. Think of all the healthy habits you will teach your little girl by making the choice you have already made to get healthy! Good luck- and keep us all posted!
