hi ya, not concerned about pounds too much but more inches.

I'm in a wedding and the dresses are a scam, measure you in three places and have you pick the largest size of those places so you need mountains of alterations. Well I didn't, I ordered the middle and now am moderately panicked.

So over a nine week period with portion control and moderate intensity HIIT workouts + 2 runs a week what could I reasonable los inches wise?

    Buy some Spanx - they can work miracles

    I've moved my belt down 2 holes and I'm almost down a 3rd in 65 days, which included lifting heavy 3x and ultimate Frisbee 1x per week along with a 1.5lb/week goal. I also did a poor job eating back exercise calories.

    So 2" sounds reasonable to me, but it also depends on how big you were to start.

    I appreciate the spanx comment, but it's more of matter of it zipping :( I think 2" should do it. But I'll likely be wearing spanx too.
    It's just not a flattering style, and I've put off doing something about it.
