So, It is my wedding day on 23rd March and I am needing people to help keep me on track. I do loads of cardio but am wanting to tone the bingo wings and stomach as welll as eat healthy. I have been rather ill lately and have had a few hiccups with the diet. I only want to lose about 6lbs. Any advice??

thanks people x

Hi,

How exciting! Im no expert on diet at all but here are a few that i KNOW work!:

Drink plenty of water
Mix up resistance training with cardio
Dont eat too late at night
Always have a healthy, hearty breakfast

thanks for that. Just drank a pint of the water!

I just want to feel my best on the day.

Leading up to my wedding I def cut a little back on carbs (Still needed enough to feel like I had energy for my workouts though!) upped the protein, made sure to lift (heavy!) and made sure I had a lot of cardio as well. I pretty much did about an hour of cardio most days (at least 6 days a week) lifted at least 4, though many days it was also 6 days, drank a tone of water, and ate a lot of veggies and fruit. You can totally reach your goals in time for your wedding I also had a beach weekend in the month leading up to the big day, which meant I was "off" my pre wedding plan, and still was fine. Heck, I had to have my dress taken in a few times!

Have fun leading up to the big day, and don't stress about weight too much. The important thing is you are marrying someone special

Thanks for that. I will just keep going then. Did you find weights make u bulky?

thanks

NO, weights made my arms look toned and firm, but my measurements went down on each one Weights will not make you bulky unless you actually train with the intent to do so (i.e. calorie surplus)
