Quick Weight Loss???

Ok girls... I have been doing pretty well with losing weight... I lost a total of 43 since September. But after looking at myself in picutres STILL, I am not at ALL satisfied... Sooo...I need some help! I scheduled my next fitting for Feb. 26th... and I reeeally want to be closer to what I imagine myself as. I really don't want to feel like a huge marshmellow on my wedding.

So, with that being said, does anyone have any quick fixes to lose weight? My sisters advice that she does to lose weight in 2 months is eat less then 900 calories a day...eat plenty of lettuse and beets, and to work out at LEAST 40 mins daily. I was wondering if anyone had anything else in mind??

I don't normally do pills, but does Hydroxycut actually work? I'm willing to do anything...b/c I don't want to look at all my wedding pics and see what I saw tonight. I just want to be a little more satisfied with myself...and take it from there. FH says I'm fine the way I am now, but I'm just really beating myself up right now.

Anyone have any other suggestions? Again, I'm willing to try anything...healthy or not...and only for the next month or so. Then I'll go back to my normal healthy eating patterns...ya know???

I know I sound like I'm doing the stupidist thing EVER, but I just want to be a size 10 like I always was. I gained all this weight when my Father passed away in 05... I get soo depressed looking at my older pics... and then my now pics.

Again, and lastly...any advice???

Do the cabbage soup diet for one week. It will jump start your weight loss. Then from there, follow a VERY strict HIGH protein diet. Limit your carbs to a cup of cereal for breakfast or 2 slices of bread a day. Eat salad for lunch that contains nothing but lettuce, chicken, balsamic dressing, and whatever veggies you like. Dinner have a nice peice of fish or lean chicken or pork with a nice side of dark green veggies.

Do this and I guarantee you that you will lose all the weight you need to in 3 months.

Also, for snacks- you can have nuts, peanut butter with veggies and any protein packed food.

Thanks!! I'll def. try that out! I mean, I've been doing nothing but eating healthy and limiting my calorie intake while working out daily, and blah...nothing but a pound here and there. LOL. I'll let you girls know my status...as I slowly starve myself.. LOL

If you follow this, you can eat big portions of this stuff. It's basically atkins. It worked for me a few years ago and I still stick to it. However, now I can eat more carbs now- just all whole grain, high fiber stuff.

What are you doing when you work out? Are you doing vigorous cardio?

I speed walk / jog (rotate both b/c I heard you burn more calories that way lol) in the mornings... unless it's too cold out LOL... Then when I get home from work I was doing the 30 day shred. That helped for a bit... not the amount I'm hoping for...

Is there anyway you can join the gym? Do you have access to an elliptical machine? If you do 30 minutes of that every other day, you will shed the pounds like crazy.

In all seriousness though, remember you want to look back at your pictures and say that you look like yourself, you know? I know right now you feel like you need to lose this weight but remember that your FH loves you the way you are!

---

Yes, i know what you mean...but myself is a size 10... or smaller. LOL. I gained all this weight when my Father passed...thus it's so hard to let off.. I want to look like I did for the majority of my life...not just the past 2 years. Thanks soo much.

The quickest way I know of to lose weight is ketogenic diet (Basically Atkins check out their website) along with cardio and strength training. Circuit training works best for me. Cutting your calorie intake too much can be counter productive b/c it can slow your metabolism. Make sure you are eating enough during the day. I would try to stay away from hydroxycut or other stimulants-They will help you lose the weight but it is not worth the risk of the side effects. You are beautiful and no matter what your weight is you are going to look amazing on your wedding day.

Awww thanks. I keep hearing about the Atkins...I guess maybe I can give that a whirl. That's something I never tried. I don't like taking pills...I've heard of what it can do to you in the long run. But I'm also thinking...if it's only for a month...can it really be THAT bad? lol. But, I'm gonna try out the cabbage diet for a week...see how much that jump starts me, and then I'll take it from there...

Thanks soo much!

Hey Dani!!

For really quick weight loss, my recommendation is really hot lipton tea. I know it sounds weird, but sometimes I eat bc I'm bored, or I just want comfort. I think the combination of warm and caffine totally kicks the appetite.

The other thing that works for me is I go to the grocery store and buy a TON of vegetables and every night I come up with a different salad combo (peppers, cucumbers, cherry tomatoes). And then I top it with the secret weapon, low fat balsamic vinegarette (sp?). You'll be so full, and the weight falls off.

Tea and salad, its probably not that healthy, but it works for me!

Try the cabbage soup diet but seriously you may want to get some gas ex...between the cabbage and the fruit it may 'shock' your system. I would really use any type of over the counter diet pills or stimulants as an absolute last resort.
