Sure, you have THE rock but is your body ready to rock your the aisle as well? *raises eyebrows* Understanding how stressful weddings can be, I’d like to share with FIVE (yes, 5…cinco…lima) lucky individuals the best wedding gift courtesy of the largest privately owned health club group in the world, Fitness First: a free Lose It! program. :)

Most girls dream about their wedding day from the moment they first heard the stories that end with “happily ever after.” They wish for a fairy tale wedding with their very own Prince Charming. But planning a wedding takes a lot of precious time, energy and money of course. Engaged couples have to choose the right church and reception venue, come up with an ideal theme, finalize the guest list, and on top of all that, find the perfect wedding dress and suit that will make them look their best on the big day! But soon-to-be brides and grooms may yet find a wedding helper in Fitness First, whose team will make sure they look and feel good on the weeks approaching their wedding date.

Fitness First partnered with PhoebeAnn.me to give five lovely couples a chance to try the new and exclusive weight loss program, Lose It! This program helps individuals lose up to 10lbs. in 4 weeks. Lose It! can help members stay healthy, be more energized, or fit into that ideal dress size just in time for their most special day. Lose It! is a flexible exercise plan that can be tailor fitted to one’s personal weight desire and schedule.

This contest is open to all newly engaged couples who wish to try a fun and fast weight-loss program that will help them prepare for their wedding day. Here are the mechanics to join:
