Need tips on losing weight for the BIG day... Nov 2015

How much do you need to lose? What are your current stats?

If you're looking for 10 pounds, yeah you can do that. If you're looking for 30 pounds, probably not (at least in a healthy way).

It depends on where you are now and where you want to be.

In any case, I get wanting to look great on your wedding day, but please consider doing this for your overall healthy, not just to look good for one day.

1. Fill out your MFP profile accurately (weight, height, age, non-exercise activity level.)
   Choose a reasonable weekly weight loss goal (a reasonable goal for your current weight and one that allows you to eat a sustainable amount of food--that means that you might be best choosing 1 pound a week rather than 2 pounds a week.)
2. Weigh all foods with a digital kitchen scale.
3. If you cannot weigh your foods, measure with measuring cups/spoons but be reasonable and don't mash stuff in them to get extra bites.
4. If you can neither weigh nor measure your food (i.e., you are dining out), estimate really well (google "serving size chart" to get visuals to follow.
5. Log every single bite as accurately as possible by using verified nutrition information such as USDA entries in the MFP database or the nutrition labeling on food packages.
6. If/when you exercise, log that activity in your MFP exercise diary. Eat back the calories. Some people find that the exercise calories are overestimated so they eat back only a portion. Whether you eat back 100% or 50%, I suggest sticking with the same percentage for 4 weeks and then reevaluating whether you should a higher or lower percentage, based on how much you are losing each week.
