I had my first fitting tonite...

my dress was too tight too. In the back , which was weird. I can't be sure I'll loose weight in that area, so she is letting it out. She seems to think there is enough fabric to do it.
That was 2 weeks ago. My 2nd fitting is tuesday. I started Slimfast today. The new granola bars. they have soups & mac & cheese now too.
basically a meal is 220 caqlories.
You can replicate that with soup or high fiber cereal on your own.

they reccomend friut & a 'meal' for breakfast, fruit or a snack bar for a snack & another 'meal' for lunch & a 'sensible dinner'
my senseible dinner wasn't so sensible tonight.

so check the calorie coutn on the snack bar & substitute your own food.

Also, little things like limiting salt & caffeine will help with water retention, which will help as a litle extra boost.

Up your cardio. Switch your cardio routine around- try intervals if you don't already.

Good luck! Don't worry, you'll be a beautiful bride no mattter what!

Try sticking w/ actual food. - w/ slimfast you don't feel like your 'eating' all day so your 'sensible' dinner can turn into whatever you can grab in the next 2 hours !!!
If you can stick to the first 2 weeks of the South Beach diet you'll be fine. you're not COMPLETELY cutting carbs so it's not like you'll gain 10 lbs if you eat a cookie you know ??
Also, don't be so hard on yourself, you may not be losing your waist b/c of all of the working out you're doing. - Can you ask a trainer to show you something to tone and slim you waist ? Maybe you're putting a little TOO much weight on the machines ??

I think with low carb diets you tend to lose the weight in your stomach first, so that may be your best best for the next month.

Dont stress though - look for corsets, I am sure it looks beautiful!!
