  • Hi! I am the maid of honour for my best friend who is also getting married on July 16th! My main goal is to lose weight and tone up for that day because last summer my brother got married (I was also in the wedding party on the bride's side), and I was super unhappy with the way I looked in pictures and I do not want that…
