MemberFrom the beginning I didn’t notice anything about your arms. (I scrolled to the photo before reading your text). Your arms looks lovely, and perfectly sized. You have lovely skin! Very rosey and warm!
If you’re concerned about them, but don’t want to wear a bolero have you though about getting off the shoulder cap sleeves? Though I don’t think you need it, you look great!
MemberI know they look absurd. But a bee on another thread suggested it and I’ve been using one at night while I watch TV and I’m telling you it’s made a difference (and yes my Fiance makes all kinds of fun of me). I’ve also been eating healthier but between the two I’ve lost an inch on my arms since January. Again, I don’t think you need to I personally think you’re going to be a stunning bride but wanted to pass along the tip!

MemberSo like you I dont want to wear a bolero either (wedding is gonna be on a May day in Georgia 😉 … my strategy is to use the veil to camouflage my arms , Ive seen it on other brides, and it really does take the eyes away from the arms and makes them look slimmer… of course I also plan on weight training and toning exercises, but am also realistic that they will only do so much and the veil is definitely going ot help me get my mind off my arms on to the face of my handsome hubby to be..
Good luck and I know youre gonna look so beautiful on your wedding day! <3
MemberMemberYou might the only person who might get this experience I recently had…. I was at the mall and in the line in front of me was this girl who had the most perfect toned arms , but scribbled all over them were badly done tattoos of different peoples names (like atleast 10)… and thta was so sad to me that she was given such a great natural gift and she would just have permanent scribbles all over it! (It should be noted I love love tattoos but i think they should have artistic merit, and be done properly so the lines are clean, etc)… oh well first world problems I guess 😉
MemberMemberOn a side note, my coworker today offered to start a diet with me. I never told her I wanted to lose any weight or have made any comments about my weight…. rude.
MemberTo answer your original question I know its latebut I have a point to add that no one else did, its that you have to think of what your guests would think not us because we are all bigger ourselves. Of course people notice our flabby bits though of course they do or how do they see to compliment even our tiniest weightlosses like I wouldn’t see a difference in my body if I lost 5lb but the girls at work have. I know my family gossip after wedding will be about my weight, especially friends I have coming who haven’t seen me in a while they are definitely going to notice I am fatter.
But the real question is does it matter what they think of my weight nooo they probably won’t say anything to my face and anyway if they do it will be compliments this is going to be the happiest day of my life I don’t even care that I don’t look like a model in my dress I am marrying the man I love and that’s the only important thing.
Your dress is beautiful and its the smile that makes a bride beautiful not the size.
Although June is long enough to tone up if it would make you feel better I recommend insanity it didn’t get me to loose weight because I didn’t diet but it did firm all that I have I noticed some differnce in only a week.
Memberyou look awesome, get a full lenghth veil if you are uncomfortable about your arms. most importatly enjoy your wedding day
