I will be mad at myself if I don't lose some weight, at least 10 lbs but ideally 20 lbs by May 29th for my wedding. Not a big eater. Just choose sweets too many times per week most likely. Otherwise, seems like cardio is the best bet now.
Any suggestions? I don't know much about dieting. Thanks

Sorry, I know you don't want to hear it since you say you have a sweet tooth but completely cut out sugar/carbs. Even fruit. It is drastic and will be hard to do but it works for quick weight loss. I don't suggest this as a long term diet to follow.
Also, drink lots of green tea and water with lemon. Really helps flush you out. Really great for skin too!
good luck!

honestly the best thing is to change your eating habits. Losing weight is 90% diet and very little has to do with exercise.

Re: Best way to lose weight by May 29th?
Hey (2010) date twin!! Soo I don't know much about dieting either - but from a fitness perspective I can tell you that cutting out one essetial potion to your diet, be it sugar, carbs, sodium etc that focusing on one aspect (and I mean completley cutting it out) can lead to an effect regarding wieght loss. Following a basic work out routine is also reccomended and make sure (if this is a route you're going to follow) that you up the cardio on certain days (on these days - forget about weights- which are more for toning and building muscle mass) and vary your excersizes, jumps, kicks, squats, and running of course (sprints, distance and elevation) Ps. running natrualy tones you which is an added bonus. Switch your work out on a bi-weekly basis so as to not reach a plateau. Also if you visit a vitamine shop you can also try out a full body cleanse which helps clean out your seven (7) channels of elimination - and depending on the cleanse you choose (ask for a reccomendation based on your needs) you will sometimes have to follow somewhat of a nutrition plan but weight loss is pretty much guarenteed. Body cleanses can take any where from two weeks - six weeks on average depending on the regimine and intensity of the program. Another quick fix is to buy a workout DVD that will provide results - P90x (weightloss and muscle mass) and Insanity (weighloss and toning) are highly reccomended but they do require a high level of discipline, focus, determiniation and dedication for an everyday workout which will provide results. I do agree with one of the previous posts to be careful regarding weight loss due to the fitting of your dress but if you talk to your seamstress/ alterations person before hand - I'm sure its a goal you can both work on Best of luck! Hope this helps.

Re: Best way to lose weight by May 29th?
Cutting out sweets was incredibly hard for me too! I have a notorious sweet tooth, I ate some form of candy (usually swedish fish or twizzlers) every single day. You just have to commit to it .The first couple of days is rough ( I know it sounds like I'm talking about a drug or something lol) but once you get to like the end of the week you actually lose your craving for sugary stuff. Even though fruit has sugar try to substitute it for the sweets you would normally eat if you think you're going to give in. The sugar in the fruit will satisfy the craving and it's not nearly as bad for you!

its a program, it comes with DVDs, charts, books and cookbooks. It also comes w. exercise DVDs and workout programs. The program is all inclusive, you tailor a menu just for you and target areas of your body that you need to work on (ie if you want to tone upper arms, it has a schedule for how to focus your time on that part of your body, etc).
It is hard the first few days. You are limited to eating chicken mostly. No carbs, sugars or salt. No soda, no junk food, You eat 3-6 meals per day. You are always losing weight because the foods you eat are designed to boost your metabolism so you can drop the weight.
Its great for a short term fix, but def not a plan you should stick to for life. Like Atkins, its great for a massive short term weight loss and then you can get off it and try to incorporate regular foods but at a more healthy level.
