Be careful because you may put on weight as you stress over not being able to lose weight in a short period of time. Best thing is to work out which you will not only lose weight but lose inches as well. Here are some important tips:
The holidays can be stressful... and unfortunately, many people reach for food as comfort. If you find yourself regularly eating in response to stress, anxiety, sadness, boredom, anger, loneliness, relationship problems, or poor self-esteem, try to break the habit with some of my strategies below.
Learn to recognize your hunger. Before you automatically pop something into your mouth, rate your hunger on a scale of 1 to 5 -- 1 being ravenous and 5 being full. Make every effort to avoid eating when your hunger is a 4 or a 5.
Find alternatives to eating. Make a personal list of activities you can do instead of eating. Perhaps go for a walk, call a friend, listen to music, take a hot shower/bath, exercise, clean your house, polish your nails, surf the Internet, schedule outstanding appointments, watch television, look through a photo album,
Keep a food journal. Logging your food will help to identify your toughest timeframes. It also will make you accountable... so perhaps you'll be less apt to reach for unnecessary food.
Three-food interference. Make the commitment to first eat three specific healthy foods before starting on caloric comfort foods (i.e., an apple, handful of baby carrots and a yogurt). If after that, you still want to continue with your comfort foods, give yourself permission. However, most of the time, the three foods are enough to stop you from moving on.
Exercise regularly. Daily exercise relieves stress and puts you in a positive mindset, which provides greater strength to pass on the unhealthy fare.
Get enough sleep. Research shows that sleep deprivation can increase hunger by decreasing Leptin levels, the appetite regulating hormone that signals fullness. With adequate sleep, you'll also be less tired and have more resolve to fight off the urge to grab foods for comfort.

No need for diet pills. You might think about trying this book called "The Movie Star Diet" by Steve Simmons. It helped me lose thirty pounds in 2 1/2 months when I didn't think anything would work. My goal to begin with was only 20 lbs! It has a really easy plan to follow and an excellent workout as well.

I wouldn't try a diet pill if I were you, you might loose the weight but you could end up sick and how much fun would that be for your new husband?....I suggest if you drink pop STOP....I know from experience that pop will keep you looking bloated all the time and almost impossible to lose weight. Once you stop drinking pop, start walking for half an hour, I'd say probably twice a day. You should lose weight and feel better. Good luck and congrats on the wedding.

I lost 105 pounds in 6 months. Here is how I did it.
1. Every morning get up and walk for 45 minutes. You can start with less time, but you want to get up to 45 minutes, and it must be fast walk. You want your heart rate to go up. It must be in the morning, it kick starts your metabolism.
2. I cut out Red Meat, and fatty foods. Boneless skinnless chicken breast, baked, or grilled, rice and vegetables (steamed).
3. Eat half. Just eat half of what you normally eat. Put 1/2 on your plate, and put the rest away. Cook less. When you go to fast food, get salads only. Or grilled chicken. No fries, only diet soda. Or water.
It will work, once you get into a routine, you will get hooked on the results, and you will keep the routine. It has been over a year for me.
A sight with some really cool diet calculators and interesting calorie counting calculators is here. Check it out.

Stay motivated, and get up and walk every day. I seriously lost all my weight starting off my day on my walk.
Good LUCK!

Hi,
I've tried all different diets, and the weight loss is only temporary. I finally tried diet pills on the market are made from Hoodia. I saw this stuff on ABC News. It's all natural and safe, and it works! My wife took it for a month and dropped 20 pounds. I took it for a month and lost about 13 (but I didn't exercise).
I bought the natural hoodia from this website: http://www.alllsite.info/free-diet-pills.php . I checked the web site address so I can post it here and I saw they're running a promotion now to get a free 2 week sample for only $4.97! I'm going to order this supply for my wife and give it to her for Christmas =)

well some anti depressants can take away ALL of you hunger starting from day one. Anyway you will lose muscles, get weak and probably anemic. Are you sure you dont want the health way?
Exercising you gain muscles that will make your basic metabolism faster, granting you the right of enjoying a richer diet without putting the weight back on.

Okay, I'm gonna get slammed for this, but.....
Do what Anna Nicole did. Trimspa max dose, and a laxative. Take trimspa every day, and the laxative every other day.
You will lose all the weight you want, and then some.
Good Luck!!
And to the girl who asked why you'd want to lose the weight before the wedding..... Honey obviously you haven't gotten married yet, or you'd never ask that.

People who plan their weekly meals tend to be successful at losing weight than people that don’t. Plan your dishes to include healthy carbs such as lovely potato and wholegrain pasta, vegetables and lean proteins, buy the many ingredients in advance and don’t be tempted to eat out or order in.
