I have a vintage swimming costume from the 60s that i am dying to wear on my holiday in 3 weeks. I need to lose just over and inch around my back/bust in order to fit in and comfortably.
Is there any way that can help out with that area, be it certain exercises or certain foods that help weight loss?
:)

    You can't spot reduce. As you lose weight/fat the inches will come off over all.
    Specific food or exercise won't do anything to a specific area.

    Eat at a deficit and regular exercise will burn the inches down overall

    I intensely disliked my back fat, which unfortunately I did not lose until I was within 10 pounds of my goal weight.
    Just having no back fat keeps me within 5 pounds of my goal weight.
    I WON'T go back to back fat!

    You've started way too late to do anything about it in 3 weeks. Best you can do is lower it a little, but an inch is very unlikely to happen.

    Lipo if you need it gone in 3 weeks. Of course it may take more than 3 weeks to recover from the lipo.

    As mentioned, spot reduction with food or exercise isn't attainable. Maybe try again in summer or on your next vacation.
