I am getting married in three weeks. We met at work. However, it was a movie theater, not a professional business or anything. I think if your job is your profession... it may not be a good idea... it could hurt your career. However, I was just working while in school. We've been together for 5 years and I am so glad I didnt shy away from the relationship.

In high school I was 130-135lbs. I carried my weight in my hips/thighs (pear shaped). Im 5'4"

but really, you should be at a weight that you feel comfortable at.

Even on a tiny frame most people with a 24'' waist have trained it with a corset though.

 not always true.

I am 5'4", 136lbs (in the upper part of healthy range) and my waist is 25"

my hip (however) are 41". it's all about shape. just because someone has a tiny waist doesnt mean they can do anything about it. my waist is the last place i gained weight, my hips/thighs were the first...

I usually eat nature's own light honey wheat.

not as nutritional as whole wheat breads but it's only 40 cals/slice

its 2009..... wear any colour you want to a wedding.

 

 

 I disagree. Im getting married in May and i do NOT want anyone wearing...

white - the bride should be the only one wearing all white

black - it's not a funeral!! (plus mine is in the middle of the day, outside so it doesnt make sense anyway).

anyway, my point is, yes, some couples might not care, but just because it's 2009 dont assume that the couple won't care what colors you wear.

I eat whatever I want.

For example, I love cheese, so i bought light string cheese sticks for a snack. I eat pizza, so i go for thin crust (fewer calories). I eat ice cream (bluebell no sugar added chocolate/vanilla combo is awesome! 90 cals/1/2 cup v. other types which are 170-200 and it's still good). Also, some days i'll splerg, I'll go out to dinner at a resturant, but before i go i'll check the nutritional info online (only really works for chain resturants). I find that if you dont eat things you like/crave, you'll just obsess over food the whole time you're trying to loose. plus, this way, you can continue the trend of just being aware of what you eat after you loose the weight you want to.

Ive also tried to work out ~45mins on the elliptical 4 days a week.

so far, i've lost ~27lbs in about 7 1/2 months of trying (i took a 3 month break and was able to maintain my weight) i have about 6-7 lbs to go. you dont have to be on a "diet", just be aware of what you're eating.

im not worried about loosing a job, im trying to find one.

i grauate in may in engineering and it's tough, ive applied to lots and havent heard back from anyone... it's sad... i'll end up working at blockbuster ( my current part time job) forever....

I LOVE cheese too!

i buy:

kraft Free Cheddar: singles (i think 30 cal / slice) and shredded (45 cal/oz)

also: Sargento string cheese light (50 cal/stick)

I get really bad cramps. My doc. recommended just taking medicine inadvance, before the crams get bad (if you know when they're gonna start) and i did that last month, it really helped.

otherwise, i do elliptical work for cardio... when i do cramp while working out i just try to drink a lot of water and power through...

im not actually a teen anymore, but my shape has remained the same since i was about 16.

bust: 34/35

waist: 26

Hips: 41

yes, i am booty-licious

I know what you're going through.

I'm 5'4" and in high school i was about 130lbs.

I rode horses from age 9-16 (stopped because of financial reasons, not by choice) and because of it i had huge leg muscles. (i rode english as opposed to western). i remember in junior high one of my friends first called my butt a 'booty' and that's when i first noticed that people noticed my lower half.

I have a 26" waist and a 42" hips.... and about a 32B bust, so.... yeah, im bottom heavy. I do like that i dont gain weight in my stomach, but it's hard to find pants that fit correctly because my thighs are realitvely large. it used to be all muscle, but since i stopped riding, it's become.... less muscle. Im trying to work out my legs alot (eliptical at the gym etc). but i dont think there's much we can do about where our bodies choose to hold weight.

exactly!

one dinner i love is baked potatoes. even loaded with stuff it's still a low cal FILLING meal! plus just nuke it for ~8mins and ur good to go!

I havent taken any diet pills,

i have taken alli though.... it, i thought, wasnt worth the side effects. and it's not going to suppress ur hunger.

I would reccomend more carbs and protein. they always make me feel more full. for example, orville's smartpop is a lot of food that takes a long time to eat so you'll feel more full. also, i keep jack's links (beef jerky) that actually comes in 50cal packs for work. when im hungry i eat those and they hold me over.

good luck

I definitely agree.

My fiancee LOVES my curves. He is always telling me what a great ass I have and loves my tiny waist. (hence why I am marrying him)

however, over the past year i have gained 20-25lbs and am now, as far as bsi is considered, "slightly overweight". Therefore, to be back in better shape, i am trying to loose that weight. My fiancee, on the other hand, keeps telling me how soft and squeezable i feel. he loves the way i feel and my womanly figure.
