**Holy Sh*t do I have problems....**

SOOOO..... as if things couldn't get any crazier....

I went to go try my dress on, and guess what??
I DOESN'T F'IN FIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Seamstress says I'm screwed unless I drop like 20lbs or I'm going to have to send the dress back to be opened up and 'reconstructed' (too much beading for her to open alone) and if that happens, I better change my wedding date!! Nice freaking help she was. Man, oh man am I in deep doo-doo now. If I just spent $5700 on a dress that won't fit, I'm going to be SO upset.

I stopped smoking and have put on weight.. I haven't even changed my diet! What do I do now??? How do I lose weight really fast now? My wedding is in 3 MONTHS! Ladies, HELP ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

OH NO!!! Hmmmm... theres no way you could get a different dress? If not, South Beach works well. And it's the healthiest was I know. A few years ago I dropped 20pounds in a month on Stacker 2's (but they had epheda) and I wouldn't reccomend it, very unhealthy!! Good luck!!

Don't send back the dress, you can loose the weight. No more sweets or at least limit yourself to one day a week. No more white breads or pasta, stick with whole wheat.
No more soda if you drink it.

Start a gym routine or at least start to walk or ride a bike after work. Go buy small weights for the house. In the morning do a few sets of lunges with weights, then do a few push ups, and sit ups. You will loose weight in no time.

What I try to do is go to the gym 3 to 4 times a week. I eat healthy Monday thru Friday. Then on Friday night, I go out to eat, and get what ever I want. Then on Sunday I usually have a bad dinner.

Don't stress out, you have 3 months.

Doing south beach or weight watches is good, but heres some advise to make it work quicker. its little pricey though. Go on an all natural diet! No more dinners, fastfood, or anything not natural. Go to trader joes and buy all natural foods. Make sure their all homine free, antibodics free etc...
Also go online and see if you can find a diabetic diet which is the samething jenny craig and weight watchers. Drink plenty water. Oh and swim, walk, jog, join a gym, etc... I dropped 40pounds in one yr. just by exericising alone.
I was on the all natural diet but I couldn't afford it. But I had so much engery and never felt better. And the food is ssssooooo good!

If you stick faithfully to weight watchers you can easily do it. But you have to really follow it. If you want any help or ideas with meals send me FM and I would be more than happy to help you. I have been very succesful with WW. Some diets do work faster but you are more limited to what you can and cant eat.

OMG.. DONT send the dress back. Im sure most of the weight you put on is water weight being that you haven't changed your diet! I would start dieting NOW.. big time.Alot of the girls on here swear by the South Beach diet & Weight Watchers.

Oh Cynthia! I'm sorry! Don't send the dress back, you can definitely do it. Weight Watchers is a healthy way to loose weight if you follow the plan and excercising always makes the weight come off quicker! Don't stress though, if you put your mind to it, you can do it...just like how you quit smoking (which is great BTW)!

First-breathe

You can do this. Start a food log to see what you eat and what you can do better at.

Considering joining a gym and getting a trainer. WW is a great way to see what you're eating and to track your goals.

If you lost 10 pounds could the seamstress fit the dress? Maybe 20 is an exaggeration?

Either way-try to put it into perspective-I will work out. We will support you 100%
