Trying To Lose Weight Before The Big Date?

By posted July 27, 2010, 11:04 am | Comments: 3

Odds are you have much less of a road in front of you than Amie Meloy, 28, of London England. She weighed an astonishing 295 lbs prior to loosing 140 to where she is currently at 155 lbs. She blames her weight gain on her love of all things chocolate, kebabs three times a week, pizza and chips.

 

 

After looking at her wedding pictures and not liking what she saw she deiced to get healthy and have another go around at her ceremony. So she joined a weight-loss program called Slimming World, similar to Jenny Craig.

 

Amie has dropped from a size 26 to a much more svelte size 12 and she’s all set to rewed her husband, Philip, 33, would said, “I love her whatever her size. But she looked amazing.” The couple even booked the same hotel they originally held their first wedding at in 2004. The ceremony was attended by a handful of family and friends.


She now has the wedding pictures she’s always wanted, stating, “This time I felt like a princess. The first time I knew people would just see a fat bride but I’m so proud now. I was so excited. We recreated all the pictures. It was the album I’d always wanted.”


“I will still keep a picture of our original wedding on the wall but I want a huge picture of my skinny wedding. I was the bride I’d always wanted to be,” she went on to say.


So brides-to-be if you feel like you have a long path to fit into your perfect dress take inspiration from Amie and know that you can look fabulous on your wedding day…whatever fabulous means to you. A few things to help get you there:

  • Keep the big picture in mind
  • Know what you are capable of
  • Set smaller more attainable immediate goals
  • Write down the pros and cons and reference it often
  • Use a friend to help motivate
  • Give yourself a realistic time-frame
  • Stay positive even if the going gets tough
  • Keep at it, you’ll get there!
  • and remember, looks aren’t everything
