Our 10 Best Dieting Tips for Brides


Stay Positive

It's easy to become jaded during the wedding planning process. Maybe your maid of honor is less than enthusiastic, the flowers you want are out of season and your digital scale isn't being as cooperative as you would like. Whether you lose one pound or 100, remember that it's not the end of the world if you don't reach your weight loss goal. The world will go on, your fiancé will continue to adore you, and you'll still be the loveliest woman at your wedding. The bride always is. It's just a rule.
