Re: how do i loose weight before my wedding??
i was trying to find sites for you so you can save it and remember the foods to eat and what to do...i found this site a guy wrote with 50 tips and its pretty good
but before i just want to say that i read somewhere a trainer said if you give 6 days of the week to being healthy then you can indulge one day and i did that and it works...for one if you go TOOO long without indulging you will start craving it non-stop and this is how people fail diets, and everything you'll crave is the worst foods for you lol...at first i would pig out a little too much on my day to indulge (sunday) but after eating healthy most of the time, after a while i wasn't able to eat as much even on sunday or foods that were that fattening, your body gets used to eating a certain way
What does the diet center do? I mean I get the obvious it's a center where you diet but is it like weight watchers?
Its like mesuring your foods. But you can only have certin foods. They give a list of what you should have for breakfast lunch dinner and how much you should have. It works great because you have to go i n 3 times a week and weigh your self and talk about what you ate the days before. So its really a good thing because you know if you cheat its going to show on the scale the next day

Re: how do i loose weight before my wedding??
reading the article i posted just now it reminded me of something when he said to use lemon and limes for unflavored drinks.
For me these ingredients helped ALOT!!!!!!!!! lol
lemons garlic green peppers red onions pepper and olive oil
theres alot of healthy food that doesnt taste THAT great or its just boring, with those ingredients it helped to eat healthy. I would use it in so many things lol...When i made grilled chicken i would put lemon and pepper on it to give it flavor and many times would even make it with green peppers and red onions...for pork i would grill it, stuff it with garlic and same thing use lemon, pepper and also green peppers and onions.
steamed vegetables i know alot of ppl dont like, again if you put lots of lemon on it and pepper it is great...sometimes i would even cook it in olive oil with garlic and put the lemon and pepper but would try to eat the steamed version more, although olive oil is not bad for you.

thats because i went through it so i remember the struggle. Its all mental and the problem is that people go on 'diets' and try to go overboard with eating healthy but you can still satisfy cravings...sometimes i would be in the mood for something sweet but id have a bite or two, i got the flavor in my mouth so it was ok lol...its like the guy said in the link i sent, youre not going on a diet but lifestyle change.
If you eat food you dont like but eat it just to eat healthy then it wont last. I wrote down a bunch of food that is healthy and i didnt mind eating. Also when you go to restaurants doesnt mean you cant stick to it, find things that are a bit more healthy and many restaurants dont mind tweaking things a bit if you ask nicely.

DONT keep chocolate pudding in the house, if its there you're gonna eat it this way when you crave it you cant have it...STOP buying things that you will give into, buy some healthy snacks
A cup of popcorn is good believe it or not pretzels walnuts berries ricecakes Peanut butter-you can eat a piece of whole wheat toast wtih PB on it or eat just a few teaspoons of it laughing cow cheese, have a few pieces you can even spread it on whole wheat toast or whole grain crackers cereal bar
another thing is that after you work out you are a little dehydrated, used up alot of energy and many times that hunger you feel is actually thirst bc when your thristy your body gives off the same signal as hunger. The more water you drink during the day the better.

you MUST have gone to a nutritionist right?? or just done a lot of research? I went to a nutr. about 1.5 years ago and all the stuff you posted is what she told me to do, right down to the PB and the laughing cow cheese (which has like 40 calories and is totally yummy)... and it makes total sense and i completely agree that fad diets don't last and are not healthy overall.
i went mostly for stomach issues but i needed to lose weight too... i lost about 20 lbs. I'd LOVE to lose like 8 more lbs but realistically i just need to work out more. If only I could get to the gym 3x a week at least; with work and school i can't motivate

At that time i was in the 'thats it i cant take it anymore' state of mind instead of oh i need to lose weight. I pushed myself so hard. I need to do that now but i actually can't lose weight until around january which i know sounds weird but theres a reason i have to stay a certain weight until then and honestly i am getting SO frustrated, i still eat well just indulge here and there but its like AHHHH I WANT to work out right now and i cant even do it, and honestly i really feel a difference...i get tired so much more quicker and i hate it, i dont have the same energy as i used to. But since i have to wait until january and i am cutting it close i am gonna probably hire a trainer and go hard core at it...FH said there is this girl at his gym who is a body building champion or something, i think shes bigger than the guys there lol and he might do 10 sessions with her and i might do the same...i need someone to push me real hard

Re: how do i loose weight before my wedding??
I lost 30 lbs 2 years ago and kept most of it off... I just need the motivation and the spark in my metabolism to help me loose another 20-30 lbs... Espo is totally right about the eating 3 small meals and 3 snacks a day.. it keeps your metabolism working.. if you starve yourself.. your body is going to just hold on to the food and store it as fat... so be careful!!! Also, my FH is a strength conditioning coach and he has me on a strength workout and cardio in circuts.. dont run at a single speed.. do intervals of sprinting at your hardest level and then jogging for 20 minutes.. it helps you burn fat faster that way... im full of all this knowledge but i am so not motivated.. what is happening to us!!!!

The worst part for me is that i am SOOOO motivated and want to work out and its hard that now FH started going back to the gym and i would love to go with him but i wont be able to until jan...I am so tired of feeling this way.

HONESTLY your last line is what gives me motivation. I see myself in my eparty pics and i hate how i look, when i watch the video from it i just sit there and cringe, i dont want to feel like that looking back at wedding pics or video. If its the one day to look good it would be this day.

yeah im just going by my own personal experiences of when i regretted not pushing myself but then the day of something came along and i didnt feel comfortable and looking back at pictures just reminds me more of disappointing myself lol. You can do it, you just have to really get it into your head...i used to even look at pictures of myself when i was bigger to help motivate myself, maybe put it on the refrigerator lol it should help
