Re: what to take?????
Those are all really bad for you from what I've heard, and using them (if only for a short time) can cause serious health problems. I would definitely discourage you from taking them!!!
I wouldn't worry about the last few pounds either because thy'll probably come off on their own. I literally ate crap in the last week leading up to my wedding and still dropped about 5 pounds in the last two weeks. The stress you're going to feel over the next few weeks is the best 'diet' you'll ever be on!

Absolutely not. Drink LOTS of water... it'll help flush out all the toxins... hydrate you and your skin. If you drink lots of water before a meal you won't over induldge.
Stay away from the pills.... they're just no good.

Honestly you should try the fat smash diet. phase one only. I have been on it since monday and have already lost 6 1/2lbs. much healthier than pills. Basically eat as much fruit and veggies as you want. 2 cups of brown rice a day, 2 low fat yougarts a day and up to 4 egg whites a day. You want starve yourself but this will rid your body of toxins and you will lose weight. Add 30min. workouts 5x a week, and 10 lbs in two weeks is sooo possible.

Re: what to take?????
any alternative to the brown rice? or is it necessary? i cant stand it......exercise is my problem....
You may have gained 4 lbs. of water weight. Drink lots of water with fresh squeezed lemon. Lemon, cantelope, pineapple, grapefruit are natural fat burners. Apples are fiber.
CUT OUT ALL SUGAR!
No white potatoes, bread, cake, candy, pasta anything that's a starch. It turns to sugar and is stored as fat.
Green is good! Anything green broccoli, lettuce, peas
Chicken and Turkey for protien
Walk around the block a couple of times- excercise is key!

Don't take pills, they are so dangerous. What if you had some kind of reaction and you were sick for your wedding. 4lbs is not a big deal, it shouldn't make any difference in the fit of your dress. Worst case scenario, if it is too tight, they can always let it out at your final fitting.

i guess i'll try the food method instead of the pills, i know, i dont want to be sick....that yogurt fruit egg white thing might work.....i'll start it tomorrow, see what happens...i'll be back in touch!!! unfortunately ( or maybe fortunately) i dont need another fitting, just to pick up the dress....so hopefully it'll fit!! i love spinach!! :) lol

Agreed I don't condone ANY of those pills. They are not good. But my girlfriend just went and got a colon cleansing and has been raving about it. She lost a few pounds and her stomach is practically concave now. She said it's not the most comfortable experience but well worth it. It's not expensive either $130 for the first time and $100 for each additional after that. I've never done it but after I heard about her experience I'm totally contemplating it.

Don't take any of that stuff, it's so bad for you. Just drink water, and watch what you eat

Re: what to take?????
don't do diet pills... do HOT YOGA!!! (aka Bikram Yoga)
That's what I plan on doing the last month leading up to the wedding!
I know of one in Woodbury called Yoga Oasis. You really can lose a lot of weight doing that!

I agree...ice cold water helps...because your body will work to warm it up, warm you back up and thus burn a few extra calories in the process! Watch portions....that's key!

Basically yes. Brown rice i ended up making a stir fry, and adding lite soy sauce. I used pam and threw in some veggies. added sesame seeds, two egg whites and soy sauce. It was really good. I cheated one day for lunch (with the company I just started with. You can also do salads and have up to 3 tablespoons of fat free or low fat dressing. Yes its bland but its working for me. You can also do beans and oatmeal. I will eat baked beans for lunch or oatmeal for breakfast. I work out every morning before work. You only have four pounds to go, not a lot and its new weight. New weight is easier to burn then weight you've been carrying around forever.
