NWR--How do I loose 5lbs by July 31st?

I try to stay away from carbs...after 8pm.

Sorry for posting here, but the other boards..is a little slower. So, I figured, let me give this a shot.


Any tips

Re: NWR--How do I loose 5lbs by July 31st?

Lose the carbs - lose the 5lbs quickly.

Portion control - lose the 5 lbs slowly but should be able to do it by 7/1

Re: NWR--How do I loose 5lbs by July 31st?

Nix the carbs with a quickness!

Re: NWR--How do I loose 5lbs by July 31st?

I swear by watching carbs, try to keep them at 45 grams a day, drink LOTS of water..it helps ya to stay full. I add a bit of lemon juice to it to make it tastier. Drink low carb beer, excercise..even if you ran 20 minutes ( 2 miles) a few times a week, this diet has worked for me and I am extermely happy with my weight, I try and eat low carb and low fat. Good luck! You definaTely can do it!!!

I meant to say IF YOU DRINK BEER drink low carb, if you can stay away from beer all together, even better..but I cant, and low carb works for me!

Re: NWR--How do I loose 5lbs by July 31st?

Strength training, veggies, increase your water intake, mind your portion sizing.

Good luck..

Obviously, try to work more excerise into your routine. If you don't belong to a gym, go walking/running/rollerblading for at least a half hour a day. Drink as much water as you can, it will help to fill you up and flush toxins from your body. Stay away from snacking unless you're reaching for veggies, fruit, ice cubes. Stop drinking alcohol until then and the week before the wedding cut out all salt, it makes you retain water. Hope some of that helps! Good luck!

Thanks...ladies... I am loving all of the tips...

But..I don't realize certain things have salt..until after I taste them.. I am so senseless when it comes to eating healthy.

Re: NWR--How do I loose 5lbs by July 31st?

Try weight watchers. I just joined- the average is like a pound a week.

Re: NWR--How do I loose 5lbs by July 31st?

Don't forget to exercise and watch the carbs...... Good Luck!!!

Re: NWR--How do I loose 5lbs by July 31st?

Thank you ladies so much...I will try....

I don't think I can do weight watchers..too many points to follow. But, I can try to stop the rice and pasta....

I agree, I had a lot of trouble dropping weight until I started WW and once I got serious with the program I started dropping an average of 1-3 pounds a week.

NOTE: I only do the self-assessed online program - I don't do the meetings, but some girlfriends of mine have had even more success with the meetings.

Hope this helps!
