You have plenty of time. Have you tried Atkins. I followed his way of eating for years and it always worked for me. I lost 21 lbs in six weeks and have kept most of it off.

<-------------- Same boat. Only I have a little more than 4 months and am looking to lose the same. I'm struggling like hell to stick to WW. I may look into the whole Atkins thing but I am nervous about cholesterol. I guess you gotta do what you gotta do in a pinch though. Good luck.

I would give it a try for two weeks and see how it goes. Its hard for people who like a lot of starch but it works. My FH is on it and has lost about 11 pounds in two weeks and if he can stick to it any one can. LOL. He is Italian and Irish. Potatoes and pasta.

Atkins worked beautifully for me but it's really tough. Which is why I came off it during the holiday's and I haven't been able to get back into it.
I had my blood work done before and during Atkins and before Atkins my cholesterol was high....during Atkins it had gone down considerably.
If you want something with less fat if it makes you nervous try Souh Beach, still focuses on higher protein but lets you incoroprate healthy grains after the initial stage.
While I do great with Atkins i have a hard time with it. I think I'm going to start South Beach at some point.
FH did Atkins years ago and lost over 100lbs and has kept it off since then. Now he wants to go back on to be a little more trim for the wedding.HE stills follows a higher protien diet so for him it's easier. I'm a carboholic so it's tough.

Re: Need to lose weight ASAP!!!
Personally I see more benefits from working out harder rather than changing what I eat. Of course you will need to avoid junk food, sweets, fried stuff, and other such yummy bad food for the next few months, but a healthy diet definitely needs to be combined with some serious gym time. Unfortunately, there's no easy way to do it, losing weight takes a lot of work and dedication, but it is so rewarding to see yourself shrinking! Good luck!!!

Re: Need to lose weight ASAP!!!
Funny you posted this! I just had a mini-breakdown this morning when I saw pictures of myself. I am totally freaking out. I don't think the gym alone can fix it. My sister lost lots on Jenny Craig pretty quickly, but I don't know if that's for me. I don't know what to do. I have like 3 or 4 months (haven't set the date yet but it will be in Sept or Oct).
On a side note, I think you looked beautiful at the wedding! I understand what you are going through though.
