Tiffany's Starting Stats
Height: 4'11"
Weight: 124 lbs.
Dress Size: 7-8
Q: What was your favorite food before becoming a Buff Bride?
A: Pancakes. I LOVE PANCAKES.
Q: What was your favorite body part before losing your weight?
A: My dimples.
Q: What was your motivation to lose the weight and get fit?
A: I wanted to look the best I could on my wedding day. I DID NOT want to look back at my wedding day photos with disgust (which is what I was doing with photos from recent Christmas holidays, med. school graduation, etc). I also wanted to get healthy and reduce my cardiovascular risk factors. I've got a pretty strong family history of cardiovascular disease and diabetes. One of the best ways to head that off is by maintaining a healthy weight and eating well.
Q: Did you exercise before becoming a Buff Bride? If so, how often and what did you do?
A: I exercised occasionally at a gym in Michigan when I was in medical school and I've got a huge collection of exercise videos. But that really was sporadic and I could always come up with an excuse not to exercise — too busy, I need to study, I've got to recuperate from being on call, etc. So, I'd say I was not a very good example of fitness before.
