Why.........???

Weight watchers!
Jenny Craig!
30 Day Shred!
ANything works.. you just gotta stick to it hun!!! I know it's hard though! Believe me I know!

Try doing the 30 day shred. And don't try to do an unrealistic diet. Just work on reducing portion size and don't eat out. Bring your lunch to work. I totally know how you feel though. I have been having a lot of trouble sticking to a diet and finding the motivation to do it.

Workout everyday...lots of cardio and some strength mixed in.
Do not starve yourself , but eat carefully and not too many carbs and try to make them whole grain.

I think working out is key though...

get the wii fit..its so much fun and u dont even feel like u r working out

and btw i just want to tell u whether u come out to a size 2 or 20 on ur day ..u ARE going to be a beautiful bride..dont 4 get that

5 meals a day all with healthy lean protein, veggies and some with 'good carbs!' Oatmeal and egg whites for breakfast, lean meat, veggies for lunch, have a snack high in protein in between meals (maybe yogurt and whole grain cereal) lean meat and veggies for dinner and perhaps a protein shake before bed and you will do fine!! I do this coupled with an hour of cardio a week and four weight training sessions a week..

You can do it!!!

I have to say that diet is 90% workout is only 10. I spent years doing hours of cardio a day and didnt see any progress...for 3 months i have stuck to this routine and have seen huge improvements...its all in what you put into your mouth!

I love isagenix. . they have a 9 day cleanse where you eat two shakes a day and one healthy meal and two cleanse days. . those are hard b/c you just drink juice and have snacks but you can do it without both cleanse days too. . it's kind of like slim fast but the shakes are WAY better nutrionally. .. you can FM me if you want. . I can get a discount with them but THIS IS NOT A SALEs thing. . I don't sell it or get anything out of it. . you can also order direct from them. . it's not super cheap but if yu figure you're saving money on food it's not that bad. .

I TOTALLY agree with gina here. . I know there is so much pressure to lose weight but all our FHs love us for how we look now, as do our family, friends etc. . so we should embrace wherever we are (I say fulling knowing I am a hyprocrite b/c I would want to lose 7 punds but have also decided if I don't i am soooooo okay with that)


edited to say - just looked at your pics and you SOOOOOOO don't need to lose weight. . you look fab in the dress!!!!

I wish I could help you!! I am in the same boat.
This is what I hjave done. I have added more veggies into my diet and cut out my sweet snacks at night. I am not depriving myself but I am trying to be more aware of my snacking which is the worst of my eating. I also have changed my work outs by adding more time in the gym and trying to push myslef harder. It is very HARD!! I am very tired lately and stressed. But I want to lose the weight!! I hope this helped!!

Thank you!!! I appreciate that!! I think that is part of my problem though! The only reason I really HAVE to lose the weight is because my dress is TIGHT... It like, hurts to breathe in it and that is NOT how I want to spend my big day! I have gained over 20lbs over the past 2 years (I had lost 40 about 5 years ago) and while I think it would be beneficial to lose a few lbs it is not absolutely NECESSARY... I just need to fit in t hie d amn dress!!!

every time u feel like eating or dont feel like working out..justpicture how u feel i that dress!!

and i meant what i said..im the queen of dieting..i have a body made for being on the radio but whatever happens im going to get my a$$ in that dress and enjoy my day

snacks is the best thing. You buy healthy snacks that you eat in between meals and you wont be as hungry. I even take a bunch of healthy snacks to work so once i start getting hungry i have something right there.


TO THE TOP: with 3 1/2 weeks left, eat very healthy BUT also work out alot at the same time too.
