    I am getting married June 16, 2012 ( 61 days to be exact). If you want to tone your upper body,,, PUSH-UPS/PULL UPS/CHAIR Dips and insanity!.... these have been dynamo for me...

    Easy way to start.. is when watching tv at night.. do 5 pushups at every commercial break... do 5 regular, next set of commericals do 5 wide arms, then next 5 military, etc.. etc...

    Bride to be here. 5 months to go!

    I definitely recommend tricep dips and pushups if you don't have access to a gym! the key is repetition! if you do have access to a gym, try the assisted pull up/chin up machine as well as the chest fly and chest press machines! I've got my arms on point after a few months of focusing on my arms :)

    Wow there are a good number of brides to be! I'm also a bride to be - getting married October 20th! In regards to overall toning there are lots of great programs. When I first started out I did p90x, and now I have found a routine that is really intense. In general I do push ups, dips, triceps extensions, skull curshers... nothing is out of the question.

    Hi Everyone,

    Getting married September 2012

    I lost 18 lbs last year quickly and then plateaued - it got so discouraging that at Xmas I binged and although people tell me I look like I've lost weight, I'm actually about 6 lbs heavier now. I'm more muscular though now and am far fitter which is obviously good.

    My plan now is that I've got some decent running shoes, is to run 2-3 times a week, building up to running 8km continuously, in addition to the 3 hard cardio workouts I do weekly, and add more pushups and weights.

    And to keep telling myself that this is my "last" whatever: Its worked so far for sweet scones.

    Well done anyone who's losing weight! Its so much harder to go over the line than I thought it would be.
