3 weeks 3 days Ahhhhhhh!!!

I had a heart attack this morning i thought i had 8 weeks until my holiday and my boyfriend had sorted our family vacation out we go in 3 weeks 3 days!!! I have put our holiday off for 4 years because after having our daughter i put on 56lbs and iv been to big. what sun we get in the uk i could not cope with the heat because how sweaty and out of breath i got. I said i would feel comfy on holiday and happy but i didn't mean in 3 weeks! Now i dnt know what to do i suffer from panic attacks due to my weight and a huge confidence knock from it. I need to make the best of my body now to be happy to were a bikini or its going to ruin the whole holiday ! I'm 21 so i don't want to be wearing costumes or tankinis its just not acceptable seems as though it is my first holiday away from my parents as an adult. Standing up my body does not really affect me. it needs a lot of work but i could cope but then sitting down it appeared from all over my body an settles in my belly! Help me please add me thankyou xx

    You do look great! Keep it up and don't let yourself get down. If it helps I just wolfed down two quesadillas, a candy bar, and 1 cup of golden grahams. My eating habits are out of this world. I'll post my pics tonight to show you you aren't alone. My body is no where near where I used to be and even further from what I want it to be. One day at a time.

    That could cause anyone to have a heart attack. Not that you look that bad, but the 3 weeks from vacation.

    I just read Bob Harpers new book "Jump Start to Skinny". It is an intense 3 week program that will get you bikini ready. I started the workout plan, and it is grueling. I haven't started the diet because I am not it a huge hurry to take off the pounds, but it might work for you.

    Also, I have a group here on MFP where we help to motivate and support others while we are also on a weight loss journey. If you are so inclined please feel free to come check us out. We hold lots of challenges to encourage everyone to get more active.

    You can wear a bikini now if you want to. Just make sure if you wear, one you wear it, don't let it wear you. Oh, and tankinis are not just for older people. They have some really cute/sexy ones.

    As far as a 3 week work out goes, I would say lifting weights might help. I've seen some crazy good results on here from people who lift heavy.

    Grab a chair and put your daughter on your back and do step ups. 3 sets of twelve each leg. Then do 4 sets of 15 each leg with donkey kick backs(get on knees and bring your leg into your chest then kick back and up). Look up sumo squats, and 3 sets of 12 body(very deep) get in your yard or hallways and do walking lunges with her on your back or 5 lb weights-should total 40 per leg. Then do 3 sets of 12 on curtsey lunges-act like you are doing a deep curtsey and isolate each leg. Then do 3 sets of 12 on calves-with her on your back. Do jump squats as well(3 sets of 12) run up and down stairs where ever you can. Also do glute bridges(look up on you tube). Start with this

    In my humble opinion lol, I think you look great. I know that isn't what you want to hear, and I know you don't believe it, but its true.
    If you cling on to the hope that you are going to look like something out of towie before your holiday then its just going to p*** you off before you get there.

    Just keep doing what you're doing. 100% commitment, you can do no more. Don't ruin the holiday for yourself by worrying about what you will look like to others. Firstly, you are going to see people who are way way bigger than you, and happy in their skin. Secondly you are going to see people who are way way thinner than you, who are not.
    In my experience people are too busy thinking about themselves to be thinking about what you look like :-)
    Also, you will be surprised at how relaxed you'll feel when you know you're not going to bump into anyone you know, trust me :)

    I think you have a lovely figure that you should be proud of. Don't try and rush the weight loss this next couple of weeks because you will end up putting too much stress on yourself and will more than likely come down with something because your immune system will be compromised.

    Concentrate on keeping healthy, let yourself feel excited about the holiday because its all part of it, and just ENJOY IT!!!

    You only live once, grab each day and run with it. If we all put things off until we were 'perfect' then we would none of us do anything :)

    Enjoy your holiday!!! :-))))))
