Waist trainer + Wedding Dress=??

Branberley, on October 20, 2016 at 8:59 PM Posted in Fitness and Health 0 22

Hey Everyone! My first post! So im trying to figure out something! I bought my dress already, however i think inneed to lose just a few pounds. I just bought a magic bullet on amazon to help with those healthy juices etc., but I'm thinking, would a waist trainer be the ideal thing to wear on my wesding day? I do wanna feel comfortable etc. But what do you think?

    If you aren't used to wearing a waist trainer you will probably be very uncomfortable. Also I always encourage people to talk to a professional with credentials when trying to lose weight. If that's not an option for you please fact check things and don't believe any weight loss claims unless you can find the science to back it up.

    I have the waist trainer and it so works.. you can wear it for 1 hour or 7 hours it really up to you.. so what I do is I just sleep with it since you can't do much with it on... it's really up to you on how you want to use it..

    It can be very uncomfortable if you not accustom.. You should start using one to work everyday..

    Waist training is not healthy.

    You'll likely see it under your dress or it will show in the back.

    Waist trainers move your organs which is life threatening. There are no short cuts for loosing weight.

    Please read up on waist trainers. They are incredibly unhealthy.

    When is your date? Eat healthy and exercise. If it's just a few pounds, you should be okay as long as you have time. Don't take shortcuts. It's dangerous.

    Im going to vote no, that would make you too hot and sweaty under your dress. I just wore undies under mine (sorry, TMI but we're all adults here, right?) at my wedding--during dancing my waist and legs got all hot and sweaty feeling under the satin.

    Just lower your sugar intake, drink loads of water, cut breads out and start walking more. I'd advise starting to run a few times a week, its a great exercise to get hooked on.

    Satin dress, non poufy and I still got super hot beneath it.

    Waist trainers are SO unhealthy. Please, do not do this. There are so many great ways to burn fat and lose inches, but please do not take a dangerous route just for your wedding. It's not worth it.

    "If you want to lose weight, you have to eat less that your body needs. Calculate your tdee and eat less than that amount."

    This is not true. The vast majority of individuals who are overweight or obese consume way more calories than their body actually needs. In order to lose weight, you cut back on calories, yes, but you do not need to go below what your body requires and doing so can be dangerous.

    If you were to wear a waist trainer you could just end up with back bulge where the skin rolls over the top of it, it has to go somewhere

    I wouldn't wear one under your dress.

    Instead of a waist trainer, you can wear a waist cincher under your dress if you really need one (although I agree with everyone else, eat healthy and workout). It just shapes your midsection with elastic breathable fabric, just temporarily while you wear, just like shape wear. It won't give you that extreme unnatural looking hourglass shape the a waist trainer will. But that's the extent I'd go for your wedding day. Corsets/waist trainers do all sorts of dangerous things, like limit your lung capacity. You don't need that on one of the happiest days of your life.

    Waist training, when done properly, is not dangerous or life threatening, or anything people are saying here. Moving your organs around is not dangerous--it happens naturally during pregnancy.

    When waist training, it should never cause pain. If there is pain, you are doing it wrong. Please do research before going into waist training--I would highly highly reccommend Lucy's Corsetry on youtube.

    Waist training in and of itself takes a long time to show noticeable results (6mos to 1yr), and it does NOT cause you to lose weight. If youd like to lose weight, you can't beat the classic diet-and-exercise route. To that end, I cannot recommend seeing a nutritionist enough. Exercise is good and all, but weight loss comes from what food you eat. (according to research I was personally a part of; I honestly didn't believe it at first either)

    Waist trainers tend to become uncomfortable if left on for long periods of time. I vote skip it. It would be challenging to try and take it off due to discomfort once you're in your dress, especially if you are at your reception and have to sneak away.

    Hi Gorgeous! I'm not sure how far away your wedding is but getting married is about celebrating you and your marriage <3, life is meant to be sexy- not someone else pinterest definition of perfect. I've never had a waist trainer before but I would imagine it being uncomfortable and on your wedding you deserve to have fun celebrating with your family and friends and relaxing :-). Weight loss does take time but if you start small with getting a container for your proteins and a separate smaller ones for your complex carbs (veggies etc.) Measure out your portion sizes and eat multiple times throughout the day. This way you are not hungry, but you are still working out towards your goal :-). And if you have time to try out your magic bullet then that's the icing on the cake but this way your enjoying prepping for your wedding without being hungry, slave to your diet, or having to worry about a waist trainer under your wedding dress Smiley laugh

    Heck no! I think those things are pretty heavy and uncomfortable. If you want something to suck you in more, get a corset.

    Not under the dress. I wear one at night and wake up with my body still contoured to the shape. It's unhealthy, organs blah blah.... pregnant women's organs are moved and squished for months. A waist trainer won't kill you if you use it here and there. Extreme diet and extreme exercise always work for me. Call it what you will
