There are very few brides that don't say that they want to lose a few pounds for their wedding, those that are already slim want to shape and tone things up. Are you one of those brides?
Other than striking out on your own with a good meal plan and working out at the gym or walking/running are there some other STL options?
Our brides are using:
- Personal Trainer
- Joining a gym or going to the Y
- Weight Loss Boot Camp
- WII Fit
- 1 bride on J*enny Craig
- 1 bride on N*utrisystem
Along a similar line, brides frequently ask about how their body type photographs/choosing a wedding gown. There are some general rules of thumb (not set in stone!)
- if you wear a strapless gown and have some 'fluff' around the high bust area, MAKE SURE your gown is well fitting. It should be tight enough to keep it up and not so tight there is spillover.
- Check the back view!!!!!
- If you question how you will look in a gown, don't buy it
- Never buy a gown thinking you will lose enough weight to fit into it
- Show off your best assets............. arms, collarbone, waist, whatever. Show your best and camouflage the rest!
- Try on gowns that are strapless, sleeveless and with different necklines. Don't just be stuck on the first gown you saw or one you fell in love with online or in a magazine.
- Listen to the bridal shop experts! They know what will look good on you and what might not be your best choice.
- Refer back to point number 4, NEVER buy a wedding gown thinking you will lose enough weight to fit into it!
- Even if you have a fabulous body, do not overlook having your gown professionally fitted by someone who has experience in this as well as rave reviews. This is not a place to skimp!!
