Ok i have been meaning to do this for a while but with just over 5 weeks to go i thought i better get started.I'm not going crazy just little things like ALWAYS remembering to take off my makeup before bed,exfoliating at least once a week and moisturising daily,having an intensive moisurising hair treatment once a week,going to the gym at least twice a week and having a sauna/steam at least once a week.I will also be having a sunbed once a weekand epilating once a week.I am going to try and eat lots of fruit and vegetables plus i have multi vitamins,B6 tablets and grlic tablets(ouderless ones!) and get plenty of early nights.I have already been having my nails done every 3 weeks since May so they are looking good and have an appointment this week to colour my hair for the wedding (complete change eeek) and another appointment for the week before to do anything that is needed!
What are you doing to prepare or are you already doing it? I do try to do most of the above usually but tend to let it slide so i am going to make a big effort...surely i can manage it for 5 weeks! xxx

I've joined bootcamp! It is bloody hard work and i am feeling muscles that i never knew existed but it will be worth it in the end!! I am also a bit fanatical about taking my make up off at night and exfoliating twice a week. Things we do eh.! The boys will just roll out of bed on the day and be ready!!! x

Ive still got a while to go but at moment im just focusing on losing the rest of the weight ive lost so far... (was a weight issue before getting engaged so not entirely bridal diet) but like LauraJo i want to lose it sooner rather than later so i can enjoy being 'slim' for a few months before stressing about losing a few extra pounds closer to the big day! So ideally want to lose my last 14.5lb by xmas! which hopefully wont be too hard..and sorting food portions/control out which has taken me 20months to finally learn!

Ive started doing 10min on exercise bike every morning - its not much but itll help shape my legs and waist
I moisturise every day so skins going to be looking 'radiant' by May!
Ive stopped dying my hair & get trim every 7wks so its in good condition ready for nearer the time for dying a nice shade & will be better length
I've stopped having nails done for a few months to recondition & re strengthen before going to start doing that again in probably March
Will start having legs etc waxed in the new yr so used to it by the time its nearer the big day & will also contemplate a sunbed or two

Thats it so far, its all thought rather than practice at moment, other than weight stuff!! x

i have also started the 3 step clinque plan but im getting lots of spots i'm thinking it maybe becoz its getting all the badies to the top and then hopefully my skin will be clear in time? fingers crossed, i'm going to use it til its finished then see if i need to try something different x

Nothing special but I do need to start taking my make up off before bed and remember to floss!

I've bought a shaping corset which I will wear at least twice a week from the second it arrives in the mail, need to get used to being cinched in so I actually manage to eat with it on lol. I'm blessed with good skin, but I've bought a super nice face lotion and primer as well as a bare minerals foundation. I've started having my eyebrows shaped and tinted and I'm tinting my eyelashes next week, then at some point I'm gonna try those semi permanent lashes- basically I'm trying out all the things, all of them. lol. trying to find options that will leave as little as possible up to chance on the day xx

You're not crazy mrsross2b, it's a good idea to start the health and fitness thing a year before the big day, that way you get into the habit of being healthy and working out and can enjoy the feeling of generally being healthier before the wedding. If you lose what you want to lose slowly it's more likely to stay off and also you can tone up more over time which means amazing beach bod for the honeymoon!

I have started trying to be healthier again and get back into the exercise as I put on half a stone since January and it's getting me down so I basically have decided I want to drop it by Christmas and then maintain it - again ..................I have been the same weight and size for 4 years, it piled on when we got engaged in January so it's time to take control again.

Good luck to all brides trying to get fitter and healthier.

I think that if you are fit and healthy it'll show in your skin as it'll be clearer and brighter.

I didn't really start it for the wedding but in January I joined WWs, I have since lost 2 and a half stone on the plan, and feel amazing for it. It also means I have been taking better care of myself now because I feel so much better, its not a quick fix so would be no use to you with 5 weeks to go but I definitely recommend it to B2Bs getting married in about a year

ty Lula, its hard for me now cause my WWs meeting closed, so keeping the motivation is very hard, but i still have my leader on FB so i can still get advice, and she's told me today I can get a lift with her to a different meeting of hers so will be back on the plan properly in Oct. wanna lose my final 25lbs by christmas, so hopefully will be at goal very soon :)
