Any Brides getting healthy and fit for there wedding?

Hey there....my name is Alexis and I'm getting for the big day.....
well.....really its for the honeymoon :) St. Lucia here I come!

I want to look and feel confidant on our wedding day and be a healthier me!
.......wouldn't hurt to look amazing in a bathing suit as well :love:

This is the first time in my life being over weight. I used to be a gymnast so I never had any weight issues...in fact I think some would of thought I needed to gain a few pounds.

About a year ago I started working from home so my life became more sedentary along with going through a rough patch in my personal life. DEPRESSION! Which I read was the number one cause of weight gain. I packed it on!

I am so blessed to have loving family and a patient loving fiancé that have been by my side through this rough time. Now, I'm ready to gain back control of my life and feel better.....so now begins the journey to getting my body in line with my mind!

I would love all the encouragement and support from anyone willing to be a good cheerleader....and would love to reciprocate the gesture as well! :flowerforyou:

Bride to be? Newlywed? Married? I would love your support! FRIEND ME!!!

Thanks
:heart: Alexis

  • I was honestly just on here looking for the same thing. I recently got engaged... just over a month ago, and even with a year to go with the wedding planning, I feel like I need some MAJOR support. How long until your wedding?

    Yes, I'm getting married on September 13th, 2013. I have been getting fit for awhile now. I used to be very active in soccer and basketball and want to have that endurance once again AND look PERFECT for my wedding and in a bikini, as well.

    So, now I'm trying to speed up the process so by the time alterations is a GO, she won't get mad at me (hopefully) for having to cut a lot of material.
