in Health and Weight Loss
i have a wedding to attend in just over 3 weeks and I went ahead and bought a dress as you do and my shoes etc. the zip on the dress however does not full zip up so I'm needing to drop a few pounds in order to fit into it in time (:

I have dropped my calories by quite a lot (you can see my diary) i was previously eating around the amount I am now and was loosing a good 2-3 pounds a week. when i first started loosing weight i lost 7 lbs in my first 2 weeks. i've lost 16 lbs in total since then but my weight hasn't budged in nearly 2 months.

I know this is an unhealthy way to loose weight and had since seen the light and upped my intake to around 1400 and that was a bit more steady and i was in far better form.

i was just wanting to know how much you think i could loose in time for this wedding or how much you've lost in a short period of time. I am overweight by about 60lbs so i know it can drop off a lot easier than somebody who is maybe like 120/130lbs

the past couple of weeks ive been really bad at logging ive only started this big dip since yesterday so any really low calorie days in the weeks before then are unfinished days

    Probably 4 or 5 pounds in that time frame I would think.

    buy a dress that fits that you feel confident wearing, instead of starving yourself to fit into one that may end up being too tight and unflattering anyway!

    it wont look any different there's just like 3 centimeters of zip that wont go, i can hold it together i just cant get the zip up. It's a really lovely dress that is actually really flattering and by the time i get my hair nails and eyelashes done i wont be up for buying another one.

    im eating what i find to be a really good plan for the next 3 weeks as i'm not hungry at all, excited to see my weight in on monday now.

    thanks for the advice

    In three weeks, probably 5 lbs.
    Hope it works out!
