SO I am thinking of doing Atkins...just temporarily...once back form the honeymoon I will be back on weight watchers, which I really like, and is healthy. ANy other suggestions?? HELPPPPPPP, Panicking, I dont want to hate my wedding photos.

Re: One MOnth Away...Best way to lose 10 -15 lbs in that time?????

Congratulations on losing the 20 lbs so far! That's great. For the next month though Atkins is probably the best way to go but it's hard to do, at least for me. So try that and exercise at least 5 days a week. You should probably be able to lose 8-10 lbs. Good luck!!!!

Re: One MOnth Away...Best way to lose 10 -15 lbs in that time?????

Awe, sweetie. Please do not hate yourself. I feel your pressure. Your best bet is to get a one month membership to a gym and do lots of classes. Also, if you are familiar with the WW Core diet, do it. It's similar to Atkins and South Beach. It's not something that I found I can do for more than a month.

Also, tell your photog to only shoot angles that you looik good in.

ONLY 20 pounds???? That is a lot of weight - love yourself now - the only way you won't look good in your photos is if you carry yourself like you think you look heavy - and no matter what, you may not like your photos if you have that frame of mind - be in the moment and love yourself now - or one day you'll regret letting this time happen where you should be full of joy, and instead you stressed about a couple of pounds...

Don't do that to yourself!!! You already lost so much weight already!!!

Re: One MOnth Away...Best way to lose 10 -15 lbs in that time?????

That is a lot to loos ein a month, but you can loose a lot if you eat small frequent meals, each containing EITHER fat and protein OR carbs (whole grains, no white bread, rice, or pasta) and protein.

And get moving! do cardio for 30 min 4 days a week, at least, and try to add some weight training in.

NO ALCOHOL!!!!

Good Luck!!

Thanks Ladies....I do work out, I have had gym memberships forever, and have been very good about going recently, I am sore every day..and feel GOOD about it. I Do follow WW Core diet regularly (well the holidays threw me off) But that is what I will always stick with, its an easy way to live. I was just looking for a quick fix, to get a few more pounds off. It's these last few that really make a difference for me. SO I think I will just really Limit carbs for next month, and get a couple more workouts in per week.

I hate Flabbbb, LOL

Okay just one last night of alcohol (TONIGHT!!!) for my bachelorette party...then I'll be good

Re: One MOnth Away...Best way to lose 10 -15 lbs in that time?????

I think the South Beach Diet can help you accomplish that, and IMO it's little healthier than Atkins.

Re: One MOnth Away...Best way to lose 10 -15 lbs in that time?????

I second going to aerobics classes as well as doing a bit of running.

Drink lots of water...don't drink any soda or alcohol and stay away from high fat / high sodium foods.

As mentioned earlier, eat smaller, more frequent meals throughout the day.

It can be done but make sure you are doing it the right way / healthy way and not the unhealthy way where you can possibly hurt yourself by going nuts over what you are doing. I suggest talking to a trainer / nutritionist asap and see what they would recommend.

20 lbs is phenomenal!!! And no matter what, I am sure you will look beautiful on your big day!!!!

This is great, When you are at the gym just remember to keep your heart rate up, you have to really move it to lose it, and NO ALCOHOL of any kind, lots and lots of water. I did not drink alcohol for 6 months and lost up till 35 pounds. There really is no quick fix and if there is one it will most likley hurt your body in the long run. one month is a lot of time.

YES! You WILL look wonderful since you are marrying your true love and will be glowing! Plus you don't want to be at a certain weight and gain it back and the rest of your life say I'll never look that skinny! Just keep up the exercise and healthy eating.

Re: One MOnth Away...Best way to lose 10 -15 lbs in that time?????

do 20-30 min cardio on an empty stomach in th emorning first thing when you wake up 3-4 times a week. This will help you lose the pounds.

This really works.
