The crux of the matter

Juris moved from Latvia to London, we met, we fell in love, we moved in together and fast forward 5 years and here I am writing my wedding report.

Big fat ‘n’ funky- (Slightly Off Topic)

I know many people battle with their weight in the run up to their weddings and I was no different, after a freak illness and steroid based medication my weight rocketed almost 6 stone, (from 10.5 to just over 16 stone) I simply did not recognise myself when I looked in the mirror and the fact Juris agreed to marry me even though I was nearly 6 stone heavier than when we first met I knew I would be marrying the right guy.

(Me at my heaviest)

My weight loss battle was one of the hardest parts of wedding planning but I was determined to both look and feel like me on my wedding day.

I started dieting as soon as we set a date in November 2011 with an aim to lose at least 5 stone by our wedding day. I was keen to start early to allow for a few breaks or slip ups along the way.

So after months of hardcore calorie counting and the last two months getting my ass kicked by a personal trainer in the gym the day before my wedding I took a long deep breath, closed my eyes and stepped onto the scales.....
