Re: HELP - Lose Weight For The Wedding...
The only thing that helped me lose weight for the wedding was Slim Fast. I only drank the milk chocolate drink and I lost weight really fast. I probably lost about 15 pounds. However, six months after the wedding, I am 15 pounds heavier!!! I plan on resuming the diet soon.

Re: HELP - Lose Weight For The Wedding...
I started seeing a nutritionist today, who put me on a very restricted diet for the first week to jumpstart my metabolism. I ideally would like to lose 15 pounds by the time of my wedding, which is less than 4 months away. The nutritionist didn't tell me anything I didn't already know, but she did provide me with structure and guidance. And knowing I have to go back there every week to weigh in is also motivation! Some things that help:-keep a food diary everyday and record each and every thing you eat.
-try and exercise at least 3 times a week, even it is for 30 minutes each time.
-drink lots of water and cut out any sugary drinks including regular soda.
-try only weighing yourself once a week - it will frustrate you less.
I know this is easier said than done, but it does help. I have to retrain my body now because my metabolism slowed down significantly after I quit smoking last summer. But you can do it.

i hate to sound like a commercial, but have you thought about south beach? only the first five or six days are really tough because it takes awhile for your blood sugar to adjust and for your cravings to go away, but it's not bad at all after that. i lost 10 pounds in less than a month... might be worth a shot.
We did south beach and I lost 25 lbs and he lost 30! It was really easy once you get through the first two weeks and my MIL was so excited by our weight loss that she did it and skipped phase one and still lost as much as we did. The book was like $26 and an easy read.

Re: HELP - Lose Weight For The Wedding...
Hmmm ok now I know a real quick way to lose weight. Catch pnemonia! I just lost 10 pounds in 4 days and feel like crap
Talk about jump starting my weight loss, but I can't do anything else until my lungs are clear. Hope everyone else is having good success with their diets!

Re: HELP - Lose Weight For The Wedding...
the best way is exercise & small portions...you don't want to starve yourself or you will slow up your metabolism & it will backfire....for example, I'm a rice freak, I could live on it...I used to eat a whole cup of it myself - now I just cut it down to 1/2 cup, enough so I'm satisfied. And I do work out almost everyday - the key with that is mix it up. Don't just go on the treadmill everyday. Do weights, elliptical, spin class, aerobics, walk, run, etc.....

Re: HELP - Lose Weight For The Wedding...
I'm going to Weight Watchers....taking a pilates class on tuesday night (which is so hard I need the whole week to recover) and I do an exercise video for cardio a few times a week. This is week 3 of weight watchers and I've already lost 5.4 lbs.
