Do you have any goals for your wedding day? I reckon I may be able to take a guess; lose weight, get toned, eat better food, get fit, feel healthy, look great, drop a dress size? If any of these were on the mark, you need to hear this episode with Grace from Bride Body and her 100 day challenge.

Grace has studied both nutrition and fitness and is using her skills to empower brides to be, and their bridesmaids (and partners) to reach their target by a certain date.... the wedding.

I thought it would be great to get Grace on the show and dispel some of the myths about weight loss, eating and exercise whether or not you want to get involved with her great program.

In particular, we focus on:

What you should eat and when
Does exercise need to be done before breakfast for best results?
Eggs... and fruit - good or bad for weight loss
Portion size and whats right for you
How to avoid "slip ups" on the way to reaching your goal
The best form of support to reach your target
Is some alcohol ok?
Can I still have my coffee - I really don't want to give it up?
Looking fit but not muscly
How brushing your teeth helps you lose weight
A trick to keep exercising - even when you don't feel like it

We actually cover loads more in this interview - I was on a roll and felt like I was peppering Grace with one question after another. If you're like me and read, hear and see so much about weight loss and fitness all the different messages get mixed and muddled.

This was a perfect chance to get some real one on one answers form someone that has not only seen hundreds of success stories but has actually helped the successful girls along the way while encouraging and supporting the girls that have a tough time making their goals.

Make sure you listen in till the end where Grace so generously offers a special discount for anyone with the 'Your Wedding Made Easy' Wedding Discount Card that want to tackle the 100 Day Challenge.

Do you have a weightless/fitness success story or question - if so, leave a comment below. If it's something technical we can get Grace to pop back and answer it for you.

 
A fiance that doesn't want professional wedding photos
Also in this episode of the podcast, an email from a bride who wants to have professional wedding photography at her wedding but her fiancé would prefer to find a photographer from Facebook. He feels that they will never look at an album or their photos so why spend the money?

Interestingly, another professional photographer shared a letter he received, while discussing exactly this topic in a private Facebook group last night. The letter he received was from a bride that decided to use a "friend of a friend" to photograph their wedding.

They have never seen their photos...

During the podcast I read out the initial letter I received and the letter Ben received from his bride. I'd love to know your thoughts on whether or not it's worth hiring a professional wedding photographer for your wedding.

 
A new YouTube Channel
If you can't get enough wedding tips and are always looking for helpful and relevant advice, I've kicked off a new YouTube channel called Central Coast Wedding Photography Quick Tips. Although these tips are somewhat specific to my Central Coast brides, I'm sure you'll find many relevant tips for you.

The videos are only short (2-4 minutes) and packed with info. Love to know your thoughts on these.
