Weddingbee boards

I didn't go out of my way to diet before the wedding but I ended up losing weight due to all the stress from planning and family drama related to the wedding.  My eating habits didn't change since very much but I ended up trying to work out more to make sure that I was still toned and not just flabby-skinny, if that makes any sense.

I'm not dieting for my wedding.

I'm the kind of person that is always striving to be physically active and eat well (it's a struggle...), so I won't let this wedding change that in either direction. My goal is to exercise at least 3 times a week no matter how busy I get (this helps with stress and nerves too!), eat lots of fruits and veggies, drink lots water, and cut down on carbs (I am a life-long carb addict!). But I really have no interest in losing a significant amount of weight before my wedding - I've always been a little thick and i must say - my strapless mermaid cut dress looks fabulous the way I am! 

I just wanna feel energized and healthy on the day of!

I didn't diet before my wedding. I was biking to work everyday and ate healthily (like I always do) so that kept my weight under control. In the last week I lost a few pounds from excitement/stress/doing lots/not eating as much as usual, but that wasn't on purpose!

I'm not dieting either!  I've thought about working out more but with my work schedule, travel and lazy factor I haven't bumped it up at all.  No biggie!  I had my first dress fitting on Saturday and the only thing I thought was...need spanx, cause undies are a showing!  :o)

Yay for not dieting!

I've been saying I'm going to diet & exercise more often for the wedding for months now, and I have this funny feeling it's never going to happen, and basically I'm ok with that. Both fortunately and unfortunately, I don't really think I need to lose much weight and I'm pretty happy with how I look overall so it gets in the way of motivation. I eat pretty healthy as it is, but I would like to tone up, so I'm hoping as the wedding approaches I'll get a bit more serious about the working out factor, at least.

One of my pet peeves is when brides become emaciated before their weddings. It's one thing to lose some weight and tone up, but sometimes some women get so carried away they don't even look like themselves!!

i'm not dieting either, even though i feel like i need it, because i don't like how my cheeks look when i laugh... :(   my weight has always been almost the same (i'm chubby) with slightly variations, but i feel good right now, and i don't really want to handle the pressure of a diet to my already stressful wedding planning...

I'm not dieting, but I am going to try to eat more healthy. I'm fine how I am, but I want to stay this way, not gain.

I actually changed my eating habits last year & lost 20lbs and feel A LOT better. As for exercise, I would really love to get back to the gym & tone up a little. Looking good for the big day is a great motivator, but I'm not going to stress about it. And I will definitely be eating on my wedding day!

I'm not dieting per se, but my sister and I made a promise to each other about a year ago to try and eat more healthy and be more active since heart disease and diabetes is rampant on our dad's side of the family. Even in our early/mid 20's we're trying to train ourselves to live healthier lives so when we're older we (hopefully) won't be as at-risk as our family members.

I'm overall happy with myself and my weight, though I think I could do a lot better at making healthier food choices.

But I agree that some women take it too far when getting ready for the big day. A girl at work dropped about 20 pounds before her wedding. Yes, she looked good, but you pretty much couldn't talk to her because she had such a low calorie intake that she was hungry and cranky all the time. She was not being healthy, despite losing all that weight. She's a lot nicer to talk to now that she eats food again and has gained about 5 lbs. ^_^

I'm not dieting per se, since dieting carries a connotation of cutting back not only on the quantity of food but on quality too. I don't plan to eat less but plan to eat better (fresh food/produce, home-made as much as possible). I also plan to abstain from alcohol at least a month up to my wedding day. My main concern is not the weight but my complexion and whether my muscles are toned (since my dress is strapless). W/ all this craze about Michelle Obama's arms, I would love to put on some weights as long as they're muscle weights.
