Three months to go, and my only beauty "preparation" is that I cannot cut my hair anymore (as advised by my HMUA).  Other than that, normal routine pa lahat.

[Chili1113]

ako more than 1 year to go pa naman... hehe so wala pa ako any beauty preparation aside from my normal routine and growing my hair.

BUT I am having a difficult time shedding the 8lbs I have gained over the BER months. No exercise also at all. Panic mode because next month na ang measurement taking for gown.


Sis Hallerski - wow! buti ka pa you are so disciplined with you diet and exercise!! =) Ill try to cut down my carbs like you sis.

^Exag you're getting measured naman so early! Me, my designer said usually 6 months before especially since most brides still need time to lose weight/ make some effort at least to lose some inches . I think that will apply to me as well though I am not fat.

MOS/WEEKS TO GO BEFORE WEDDING: 11 months
FIGURE: 32-25-33 (at my fittest, I was 32-23-33 so that's my goal. Athletic ang body peg, not skinny.) Gained all the weight last Oct-Dec.
Exercise: Weights, body weight toning, yoga arm balances and headstands (to strengthen arms)
Diet: None I don't believe in deprivation. I eat as much chips, chocolate, fried chicken pizza and ice cream, rice as I want since they're all my favorites, but I make sure to up my protein intake significantly. I'm also taking whey protein while working out.
Treatments: None! Exercise lang yan
Total Weight Loss/Goal: No specific weight loss goal for me, more of sa vital stats lang makikita-- toned arms, shoulders, back and core, bigger hips, thighs and butt.

SKIN/COMPLEXION: Fair
Skin Care Regimen: Under skincare regimen of Dr. Isabel Nazal (she owns Ysa Botanica) to treat acne problems
Treatments: Clearing soaps, Erythromycin, Acne Lotion, Mixture, Whitening, monthly cleaning

TEETH: None yet but I am thikning of teeth whitening maybe a month before? If cheap and fast lang

HAIR: Will re-do my color and highlights a month or 2 weeks before the wedding.

^I was advised by my couturier not to go to gym naman. I am currently 54 kg. Lost a bit of weight after I had my surgery 2 weeks ago.. it went down to 52 kg, but since I'm eating properly again so I'm back to my usual weight.  I am 162 cm in height naman so proportioned pa.

Planning to do some running but since it's summer here wag muna..I'll wait til autumn para hindi masunog.

Diet, trying to avoid rice. More fruits amd veggies if possible.  I'm getting used to drinking tea.

Teeth, planning to have the braces on my bottom teeth removed, then teeth whitening.

Hair color, yes, 2 weeks before the event.  I hope someone can recommend a good salon in manila so I can make an appointment upon arrival.  Heard good feedbacks re Status Salon, are they good?

I am struggling with exercise.  My job involves brisk walking 38 hours a week so I feel dead tired at the end of the day. No time na for exercise

[sparklingjewel]

^Sis i am envious, my job involves 8-12 hours of sitting! Haha how i wish i had a job that requires walking!!!
