I got married in November 2014. It was an amazing day that we and all of our guests thoroughly enjoyed. Now, I had realised I had been putting on weight for a few years and by the time of the wedding I was nearing the heaviest I have ever been. I had realised and made plans to lose the weight in plenty of time to be fit and trim by the wedding day. However, one excuse led to another and before I knew it I was out of time.

I have since got my backside into gear and lost nearly 3 stone and got all together much healthier. I am incredibly happy with the results and it only took six months. However, after receiving our wedding photos I really do regret not making the effort before our wedding. I do love our wedding photos but because I didn't get in the gym and alter my diet before our wedding I will always be a chubby groom.

If you are getting married and feel that you would like to be a little trimmer for the big day, don't make excuses like I did... Trust me, you'll look better, feel better, live longer and you'll enjoy looking at your wedding photos much more as well.

If you are in the Leeds area I would highly recommend Patrick Hargrave Personal Trainer at Core Fitness. He honestly changed my life! www.yourpersonaltrainerleeds.co.uk
