i don't know how much you are doing cardio compared to weight training, but if you are mostly doing cardio, then step up the weight training! If you don't already have a good weight training schedule, this should help a lot! gl

semi liquid diet.
I had to be on one after my surgery and lost big. Protein is key! Shake for breakfast, lunch and a reasonable dinner. It will work, esp. if you only need to loose 5lbs. I really like the ensure high protein for breakfast. Egg-whites work really well to if you need actual food, and try and cut out all salt.

my friend tried Medifast and dropped weight fast. You can order it online or I know Dr. Priestley from Priestley Chiropractic in Farmingdale has it in his office. I tried it and was really cranky but it def works fast and you don't get sick.
Personally, I like Weight Watchers. I hit a plateau about a month ago and joined. I'm down 11lbs. They are supposed to be introducing a new plan come Sunday.

Re: Ok girls!! need to
You have to change what you are doing. You need to change your routine up a little bit, shock the body pretty much. If you are cutting calories, then switch to cutting carbs for a few weeks instead of calories and then go back to cutting calories and not counting carbs. Also, change up your workout routine.
I'm not a calories and workout kind of girl. My sister is a Doctor and I just remember her telling my dad that's what he needed to do when he couldn't lose anymore weight. Seriously and honestly, the only way I really lost weight was yogurt. I had yogurt and smoothies every day for breakfast and lunch. If I was really hungry for lunch, I would have a can of progresso soup. And for dinner I had whatever I wanted but I ONLY drank water and had small portions. No kidding I lost 30 lbs in a month! If I wanted to snack in between means I had a smoothie again. It's healthy to have 6 small meals a day, rather then 3 big ones.
Good luck! I'm sure you will do it!

Re: Ok girls!! need to
i feel like everyone says you lose like 5 lbs right before the wedding from stress/excitement...so maybe they'll just come off naturally? wouldn't that be nice?

you def have to change up your routine, and shock your body
do a something you wouldnt do, like zumba, or spinning, or yoga
drink about 1322 bottles of water. for a day you will be bloated but it will flush out all the toxins in your body and you will feel so much better, and brown rice and veggies
no soda, alcohol, fruit juices, white flour or sugar!!!

i heard it too. i actually dont think i'd want to lose that 5 lbs before b/c my dress will probably fall off!!! knowing me, i'll be eating like a beast the week before and won't fit!!

that's why i'm glad i went with the corset back - depending on whether i eat like a beast or drop 5 lbs, i can just loosen/tighten the back

my mom's doing medifast and she lost like 10 pounds in 2 weeks. she's hit a plateau now in week three though.... and plus, she had much more weight to lose then you did so it may not be worth the money
you could also cut out all fat - i did that and dropped 20 lbs in like 3 months
