Was I the only one... LOL!

That worked my butt off to look great for the wedding while my FH (at the time, now husband) didn't do a thing?!?!
I dieted, worked out, used the white strips for my teeth, never ate passed 8PM, took vitamins, drank tons of water, got my nails done each week to keep them healthy, etc... all too be a beautiful bride.

My husband didn't change a thing. Maybe even ate more and never really worked out... I got him the white strips and I think he used it once while I drank coffee through a straw to keep my teethe clean.

OH... and he looked sooo handsome with no work at all.

Any other brides relate?

lol, Erica. Well. I can't possibly imagine where you're coming from. Lance pumps iron every morning, he's eating wheat grass, taken up running even though he hates running.... OH WAIT- that's ME! Yeah- Lance ate an ENTIRE pizza from Gigantes last night, and finished it off with rainbow m & m cookies. As much fat and sugar as possible is his preparation for the wedding & HM!

I can understand. while I've been on Weightwatchers on and off for 10 years, I'm trying to be hard-core again and also getting up early most mornings to workout. FH has a terrible diet...except for the healthy dinners I cook and hasn't worked out in sooo long, but stays fit and toned. In his defense, he does do a ton of manual labor and yardwork around the house. But it kills me...I look at chocolate cake and put on 5lbs

Youre not the only one! lol
We are 3 weeks away from my wedding and ive been eating really healthy and hitting that treadmill while my FH ummm....well he has a different strategy....he just eats! Im going to whip him into shape within the next three weeks

Re: Was I the only one... LOL!

OMG--I am the opposite!

FH is a health nut so he works out almost everyday and watches what he eats and takes all his vitamins. I see cake and I automatically put it in my mouth!

Re: Was I the only one... LOL!

its amazing how handsome they look in a tux.

thats all they need. that & a clean shave.

My FH was the best man at his father's wedding this summer & i SWEAR I was drooling the whole time, he looked so good in a tux!

Re: Was I the only one... LOL!

I've lost 18 pounds...and FH has put it on! Now, he's a big boy naturally (6'4', 240 pounds) so he eats a lot. But you would think since I'm working so hard to be healthy and lose weight, that he would naturally follow. But noooooo....

But yeah, he does look pretty darn hot all dressed up!

I agree!

Give them a clean shave and a nice tux and they become hotter!

Re: Was I the only one... LOL!

I hear you. I was a maniac in the gym and DH didn't have to do anything and he still looked hot!

Re: Was I the only one... LOL!

HA!! me too!! i'm going to the gym 3-4 times a week, and doing hard core ww. other than the few times he went to the driving range he hasn't been to the gym. he thinks smacking around few golf balls is exercise!!! oh and his idea of a healthy meal is a ceasar salad with extra dressing, extra cheese and extra croutons. um hello u might as well a freakin big mac at that rate!!!!

OMG... you're totally right! I forgot I had a dentist appt for a cleaning and I went tanning. Not my husband. He's lucky he's naturally tan, but still....
I also went to the derm. so my skin would look great.

Re: Was I the only one... LOL!

Yes, let alone all of the hair and makeup trials we go on and the hours of prep day-of.

DH probably got ready soup to nuts in his usual 30 minutes.

Re: Was I the only one... LOL!

my husband is almost 6' tall and 160 lbs. after a good soaking wet shower.....and eats junkfood like its growing out of style---and never gained a pound the entire time! yeah i was jealous

although i have to admit that he did go thru some painful dental surgery in order to fix his teeth. he told me that he wanted to smile in his wedding pics with me, and it was worth all the pain to do so!
