Loosing weight before a wedding?

Question

Hey all,

My best friend is getting married next November, and I'm in her bridal party. I would like to loose about 85 lbs before that date, but I don't have the money to go join a fancy gym or anything. What are some things I can do to shed the pounds and keep them off in time for her big day?

Answer 1

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.

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

Good LUCK!

Weight is a function of calorie intake and output. You should change your diet to include a lot of fruits, veggies, whole grains, and lean meats. Your snack should switch to fresh fruits and raw veggies (with NO ranch dressing, try salsa if you need a dip). Generally avoid foods that are white (white bread, alfredo sauce, cream, etc.) except skim milk.

Exercise - try running every day for 30 min. If youre not conditioned to run that long yet, try running for 5, power walking for 10, running for 5, power walking 10 more. You'll build up the endurance. You should lift weights as well. If you dont have any, try using things you have around the house like water bottles or canned food.

Good luck

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.

Answer 4

Start eating every two hours because that keeps your metabolism going throughout the day. Have your three meals a day and have healthy snacks in between i.e. fruit, oatcakes, etc. Make sure you are eating lots of fruit and veg. If you're having pasta, rice or potato, then just have small portions. Avoid any fatty foods and sugary snacks. Cut down on your sugar intake. Make sure you are drinking at least 8 glasses of water/unsweetend juice/herbal tea each day. Include lots of the following food in your diet as these take more calories to digest that you intake by eating them: asparagus, apple, beet, berries, broccoli, cabbage, carrot, cauliflower, celery, chili, cucumber, garlic, lettuce, grapefruit, lemon, mango, oats, onion, orange, papaya, pears, pineapple, spinach, turnip and zucchini.

Answer 5

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 =)
