I feel very self-conscious lately, I didn't lose any of the 15 lbs that I wanted to and I only have 19 days left. I went to my dress fitting on Saturday and am now really nervous about being in a strapless dress bacuase of my arms. And, in general, I don't think I am photogenic, and I know the camera adds weight, so I am dreading being in front of the camera. Also, being in the spotlight at my shower yesterday made me a nervous wreck, even though I had fun! Anyone else feel this way?

Re: Nervous about being in front of the camera
All I can say is Smile, Smile, Smile. If you do this -- your pictures will look fine. If you worry about it -- the camera will capture it. So just smile and enjoy yourself and forget about the camera being there!
Also do some pushups. You don't have a lot of time -- but pushups are great for upper body strength and will at least give a more toned look to your arms.
You can't change your lifestyle in 19 days so just do the best you can and feel like the most beautiful bride on your day -- because that's what will shine through to others and in your pictures.
And drink lots of water -- it's great for the body, weight loss, and good for your skin -- for that wonderful bride's glow!
Good Luck!

Re: Nervous about being in front of the camera
I was worried about dark circles under my eyes, and I've never liked most of photos of me either - my neck/chin looks fat, or my smile is funny.
I have to say though, that my wedding photos are among the best photos of me I've ever had taken and I couldn't be happier.
I think the fact that you'll be glowing with happiness will overtake everything else, so don't worry about it. I can still picture a photo from a friends wedding - and I remember this photo of her on the dance floor - she looks like the happiest woman on the planet, and that's what really stands out - not how much she weighs (a bit on the heavy side). It's a fabulous photo and I'm sure you'll find that your photos make you look radiant too!
Remember also, that these photographers are in the business of making the bride look great - so they'll know what to focus on, and what not to!
Good luck and best wishes!
