Prom is in exactly one week. I tried on my dress tonight and it's tight in the abdomen area. Any tips on how I can lose weight in that area or get toned enough to where I can breathe comfortably in the dress?

    Unfortunately, spot reduction weight loss is a myth. The best you could do is try eating healthy foods low in sodium and drinking the recommended amount of water in the hopes that you might be retaining excess water weight. But nothing is going to result in significant fat loss in a week's time.

    You could go on a liquid diet and lose water weight....but it's unhealthy.

    Or get some shapewear!

    This, but also can you get like Spanx or other slimming shapewear. That should help suck it in a bit.

    what might help is a water weight pill. I've used it before and it helps slim down for like a day
    good luck!

    Nope. When you lose fat it's lost systematically. And ab fat is one of the last areas to usually go. Get the dress altered.

    And do a low carb diet. It will help lose water weight fast (5+ lb), also give your face a lean look.

    i've never done it so i can't entirely vouch for it, but i've heard doing hot yoga classes can make you lose a bunch of water weight really quickly? perhaps somebody can confirm that...
