LauriesTrying2BeFit

so its been the summer holidays and iv had my 3 young children home all day everyday, eating when busy was a bit hard for me so i did alot of bad snacking and im paying for it now!
iv gained 8lbs over last 8weeks and its my wedding in 32days!!!!

i also started insanity 4weeks ago so thankfully i dont look any heavier but i still would like the weight off!

any suggestions? im still doing insanity daily and walking daily too.

thanks

first, you say you have gained 8 lbs but have been doing insanity and so you don't LOOK heavier - that implies you have gained some muscle mass. Therefore, you might not need to really lose a full 8 lbs to be the same size you were. I'd suggest not worrying as much about the numbers and care more about looking the way you want to look in your dress.

However, 8 lbs in a month is not impossible, but it is going to be tough. It means you need a 1000 calorie deficit every day. That is going to have to come from a LOT of exercise, not just a diet restriction.

My advice is to be reasonable and realize you aren't going to really "transform yourself" in 32 days. You can make progress and make some changes, but your health is more important. The number on the scale is WAY less important than how you look and feel.

BTW, you look great already!
