How to Eliminate Pesky Back Fat and Underarm Pudge

TAGS: BRING IT UP, EXPERT TIPS, BRAS, STRAPLESS DRESSES, FITNESS

Dear SmartBride,
I'm really trying to get in shape for my wedding. I've been working hard on toning my arms so my upper body looks great in my strapless dress!


But, last time I went in for a dress fitting, I was still getting a little bit of "pudge" squeezing out of my bra underneath my arms and a little around the back. My wedding is only 2 months away, so I'm not going to kid myself into thinking that I'll have lost a bunch more weight before then.

Help!
