Lost 130 Pounds in 6 Months - Success Story from Mary

The venue is booked, the catering and flowers are done, the guest list has been sorted with only a minimum of angst and - above all - you have found THE dress. Now imagine, as a bride-to-be, being told that the wedding dress you love is actually going to cost you $600 more than normal.  


Why? Because it's not available in your size. This was the annoying realty facing Mary Jane O'Toole. Since her fiancé had proposed to her in December 2018, Mary Jane had been steadily losing weight.

"I had a pretty good idea I didn't want to be big as a bride. Growing up I told myself, you're not going to be a fat bride," she said "But I don't want to take away from anyone’s experience being a plus-size bride. Every bride is beautiful."

Mary Jane's motivation wasn't just about how she looked and felt about herself, it was also prompted by years of having to deal with the "fat tax" - the term she uses for  plus-size clothes often costing more.

Following their engagement, she and her partner started using a fitness app and began to Custom Keto Diet ( Read more : Custom Keto explained on Fox News)

 

She was what she calls a "street size 12" by the time she was dress shopping and found her perfect dress. Because the dress didn't come in her size, Mary Jane was told it cost $600 more to make. While the bride-to-be loved the dress, she refused to pay such a large amount extra and instead upped her exercise regime, training up to five times a week

After 6 months,  She had already lost a very impressive 130 pounds. Not only that, but she'd also found another perfect dress - and looked incredible in it. "I can't believe how different I look from one October to the next," she wrote in an Instagram post shortly before her wedding. In a post from her actual wedding say, she wrote: "I'm in a dress I NEVER thought I would be able to wear."

As well as being proud of what she's achieved, Mary Jane also wants to see fairer pricing of plus-size clothes. "Women spend money. If most of the female population is plus sized, wouldn't you want to accommodate the people who want to buy your clothing?" Mary said

The 27-year-old, who lives in Burntwood, Staffs, said: "I wanted to lose weight to enjoy life, clothes and being active instead of wishing or watching other people enjoying themselves.My partner loves me regardless. He says I'm not the same person and that I'm more reserved now that I've lost weight. I'm more insecure now. The excess skin holds me back from my ability to be as active as I'd like. I'm conscious people can hear it moving around in the gym so I wear garments underneath to hold me in which can be uncomfortable."
