Hello, my name is Maggie and I'm getting married in october of this year! I don't want to lose a bunch of weight by the wedding, Im mostly wanting to tone up my arms. Ive already toned up my legs and butt, but my arms are still flabby, mostly in the tricep area. Any dumbell exercises that I could do to fix the problem? your advice is much appreciated! and I'm super excited to be here!

    Congratulations Hollie! Oh I wish I can see your wedding dress, wedding photos etc.. I'm also doing microdermabrasion once a month. taking supplements for hair/skin/nail is such a good idea. which one do you recommend?

    I have the Jillian Michaels Kickboxing DVD - it's quite the workout! I actually just did it..and I'm so exhausted I don't want to move! I've heard lots of good things about her DVD's (especially the 30 Day Shred) so I figured I'd try one out for myself. I just picked it up on Friday, so I've only done 2 workouts so far - hopefully in a month or so I'll post some results!

    Eloping July 21, 2012! Decided on it just over a week ago. We're not telling anyone other than the two witnesses we have picked and two other friends. It's going to be a complete shock to everyone! Sooo exicted! Already found a dress, shoes, rings, wedding commissioner, location and horse drawn carriage!

    Congratulations!! I'm getting married in October as well, and I'm also looking to tone up my arms. What I have been doing are repetitive exercises with free weights (mine are 3lbs each). I do a variety of exercises with them like the ones outlined here: http://www.hearthealthyonline.com/fitness/workouts/basic-free-weight-workout_ss1.html. I try to do 3 sets of 20 reps each on each exercise, two to three times a week.

    My fiancé and I have been engaged for 6 months. And just booked our date over the weekend! We are anxiously seating out July 2013 wedding!

    Yay to all us brides to be!!!! I'm getting married in Jamaica May 8th - we're leaving on the 4th, 23 days!!!! I got to my goal weight, but still working on the toning. The last week or so with the easter holiday, I've been slacking off & desperately need to get back to my Jillian Micheal dvds. I love her workouts, definately recommend any of them. My favorites are Ripped in 30 & 6 week 6 pack abs.

    Hi all! I am getting married in September 2012! I am trying to lose around 15 lbs. I have my dress, but it hasn't gone through alterations yet.

    I'm doing the 30 day shred along with gym classes (pilates, kickboxing, spin, yoga). Not sure what I'll do after the 30 day shred is over in a week or so -- any recommendations for videos?
