    I have been fighting my weight ever since I was in a car wreck in 2008 and was given steroids.  Since the wedding is over it has been easier to diet and I think this spring I will be back to what I was and nothing seems to have sagged more than it had at that point LOL

    My DH has been so supportive and I was thinking of maybe sneaking a Boudoir shoot in with our photographer and surprising him to say thank you.

    Here is what I looked like a month before the wreck . . .

    Is it just crazy to think the pictures would come out flattering?  If any of you have do you have an image you could share?

    LOL Ok guessing that the lack of response is a no - just out of curiosity why?  I have seen the 40 somethings on this board and there a group of sexy rockin bods that just happen to be a bit older.  Is it just not for our generation or hubby (FI) would not like or what?

    Would love to hear from non 40 something brides as well.  Why or why not do Boudoir

    I want to do one.  I just want to be able to look at it when I'm 70 and remember haha. And I think it would be fun.  I'm 28, so not in my 40s yet.

    I don't see why you cant do one if you want to!  You look great in that photo!  Go for it!

    @unixfairy:  I'd say go for it (I'm 49). I have a very similar body to what I had at 25 (not quite as good as the one I had at 30 though). I am really camera shy and my face freezes so I don't like having my pictures taken in general but there is nothing wrong with boudoir shots after 40. It's 40 not 80.
