We are engaged and have known each other for eight years. We are not sexually active and are saving that for marriage. I need some good ideas cus flowers just don’t mean the same to him 
He is trying to get in shape for our wedding but that is kind of a touchy subject for him. I don’t want to offend him. any ideas would be great.
Buy him a vasectomy and then you could become sexually active without fear of pregnancy. If you marry without having tested the sexual waters, you might find out that what you were saving for marriage, was nothing.
Hi. I am 21, 5′4 and 152 pounds. I want to get into shape (atleast 140) and look great for my wedding on May 1st. I have a schwinn airdynne exercise bike which you move your arms and pedal. There is a hiking trail in my area that is four miles i can walk three days a week with my fiancee (as he has to drive me to because i dont have a car). I also have a pilates video, 10 pound hand weights, and stretch cords. How often should i exercise and for how long and what should i do? What should i eat? I have brocoli, cauliflower, bananna, apple, orange, lowfat yogurt, special k granola, almonds for snacks, and eggs for breakfast. I drink only water, some milk and orange juice occasionally. I will be going on adhd medicine tomorrow as well so will that cause me to gain weight? Thankyou.
No carbs, no dairy products…….fish, poultry, salads, eggs, special K, with skim milk, NO weights, aerobics (45 minutes), walking, lots of water. In one month you will have lost a lot of pounds.

Exercise in your EBZ (exercise benefit zone) for one hour a day. You know you’re in your EBZ when you can’t carry on a conversation while exercising. Walking or biking is fine, just push yourself to walk or bike rigorously enough that you can’t chat while you’re exercising. In addition, to lose weight, you want to eat fewer calories than you burn in a day. In other words, count your calories. Perhaps aim for no more than roughly 1500 a day, and eat things that will keep you full and that your body will process well. Whole grains, low fat yogurt, fruits (especially apples!), vegetables, and lean meats are all great. Almonds have tons of calories, so you might want to avoid them for the time being even though they’re very good for you. You could also mix your orange juice with water if you want to try consuming fewer "empty" liquid calories. In general, drink lots of water every day, particularly before you eat a meal. Also, eat slowly (so your brain knows when you’re actually full) and eat throughout the day (so you feel full often), but very small amounts. If you want your body to burn more calories at rest, you’ll need to do a little bit of weight training. Every other day, lift weights that you can buy at a local store with your arms and do squats if you don’t have a gym membership. Doing this will help your body burn more calories when it’s at rest. Note that you may see your weight go up on the scale immediately after you start weight training, but this is normal: muscle weighs more than fat, and by lifting weights, you’re building muscle. Ultimately, you’ll look much leaner as a result. You just have to stick with it.
Good luck and stay committed. You can do it!
Do you think doing the P90X workout is a good idea to get in shape for a wedding that is 1year and 8 months away? Or take a kick boxing class? What is a good activity to do that is fun that will help shape my arms and tone, loosing weight would be nice too!
Do you like working out at home? Or do you do better at working in a group? I personally like to go to the gym and work out… my favorite program right now is Ultimate Body Shaping or Extreme Body Shaping. Basically it is 6 days a week, 3 days cardio kick boxing and 3 days strength training with bands with an eating plan. Its fun you make friends and it’s a lifestyle that is easy to live and work with. Try it or something similar out. P90X is a great program but you need to have the discipline to really commit to it because you’re doing it at home. If you don’t show up to class for a week your bag partner in your kick boxing class will ask why.
Good job starting now and have fun!
My uncle’s a recent divorcee and he’s in real bad shape. His wedding anniversary’s coming up, and I need advice (he’s not over his wife, and he’s desperate to get back together):
Do we do what my mom thinks and take him out for dinner and try to cheer him up on that day?
or Do we leave him be and just try to make him feel better by talking but not overdoing it?
or something else completely?
Help??
Call your uncle and ask him what he would like..you sound sweet
Ok so these are the 4 dresses i like, but i don’t know which one to choose ( please be very honest with your opinion… Please tell me your favorite and why you picked that one. Also the one you least like and why. I have included a link to some pictures of me, to give you an idea of my skin tone and stuff. My measurements are chest 34 waist 24 and hips 36, to give you an idea of my shape. The wedding is being held in summer, in cyprus next to the beach, so it wont be cold and i shouldn’t have to worry about the weather. Thanks so much for your help…

3 has an understated elegance that somehow also seems to match your personality.
You are lovely, even when clowning around!

I realllly love the third dress and the last dress.
If you have a thin figure, I would go with #3 because it’s adorable and falls so well! But then again, it does look like a dress, nothing really screams wedding. =/
Go with #4! It doesn’t hug as much as #3 & is beautiful, I would get rid of the straps and wear it like that!
I don’t like #1 because, well, I like traditional white dresses.. & I don’t like #2 because I think the stitching looks bad around the waist area. I don’t like the pattern much.
Congrats [:
I know very little about this, and Iam curious to know more, I wanna know if these are legit or scams, if anyone knows what percentage workout. and any good websites, or reviews of mail order brides?
First, I am a little biased, but the truth is that there are a lot of happy couples from the so-called mail order bride agencies. Don’t take my word for it read the only good academic study on the subject by Lisa Ann Simons. She was adamantly opposed to the whole concept of mail order brides when she started researching her dissertation on the subject, but after she had interviewed over a hundred couple she realized she wasn’t finding any horror stories. She worked hard to find horror stories and decided that all in all the system worked out pretty well for both men and women. Here’s her dissertation: http://usaimmigrationattorney.com/images/MarriageMigrationMarkets.pdf
I am just trying to get in shape fast my wedding is coming up and I have done everything except get this. I know I am stupid for waiting for this to be the last thing but still. I need something to get me there fast!!!
It is possible to lose weight fast but you should be realistic and take on board that if you lose weight rapidly then you will inevitably put it all back on again just as rapidly. I lost 7 pounds recently when I had a special celebration to go to, and I did it by following the tips and tricks given on the web resource in the box below.
I’ve lost 80 lbs in the last year to prepare for my wedding. I don’t have any loose skin or anything like that but I do have a small, solid gut and fatty thighs. What would be the best way to tone up in the next five months?
I’m 5′2", 124 lbs, and very petite.
Do pilates. It will tone your muscles and make your legs and thighs look thinner and do cardio to lose your stomach.
