Originally (2 years ago) I was shocked into losing weight as I weighed myself having not done so for months and was horrified to be 14st 4, which was way more than my 6ft 4 boyfriend!
I lost 3 stone but then chrsitmas came, and I put a few pounds on, and then an illness and surgery made me fall completely off the wagon and I put on lots of weight taking me back up to 13st 12.
We started to plan our wedding and like all brides I knew I had to lose weight, we booked a wedding planning trip (we're getting married at Disneyworld) and so my Dad paid for his personal trainer to train me, and I started working with him to get me in shape for my wedding dress and also to get some fitness so I'd have good stamina to walk around theme parks for 2 weeks.
I lost about 10 pounds in the lead up to this trip, and noticed a difference in my figure for sure.
Whilst we were away we met with our wedding photographers and had a triel run with them, getting the photos back wasn't too pleasant for me. I adore our photographers, but lets just say my various flabby parts make a lot of the photos uncomfortable for me to look at!
This was the worst offender:
I know in theory it's a super cute photo, but all I see is my jabbly chin and my jabbly arm and the over the top of my dress fat.
I am now determined that not one of my wedding photos will have any jabbling in!
