Hi I am 5'4" and weigh 190 pounds and im getting married May 17. The only problem is im having trouble losing the weight. I refuse to order a weddimng dress till february. Yea I know three months before hand is not the best idea. But i know i can go to davids bridal and buy whichever i want instantly. Im just having no luck in sticking with my diet plan. My excercise is fine. Anyone got any good tips?

    It's not about luck.

    Don't do it!

    oh, wait. You want tips on dieting . . .

    1. don't refer to it as a diet . . . diets don't work long term
    2. you either want to lose the weight or you don't. if you really want it then you'll get your eating in line with your exercise.

    What's your diet plan? Losing weight doesn't require you to go hungry and survive on rabbit food.

    This is not a diet. It is a life style change. Forever. Eat clean. Give up soda. No processed foods. Track your sodium. Drink lots of water and try to add green tea. Keep moving.

    It's hard to give advice without knowing how many calories you're eating / what those calories are comprised of / what your exercise routine is. If you nail your routine, you likely won't need little ideas like gum-chewing

    And no offense, but getting snide with your replies isn't going to get you much help here. You have to give out good information if you want to get good info in return

    Hi! I am in the same boat as my wedding is May 4th. The best thing I have found is to keep at the diet and exercise as the weight didn't come on overnight and won't leave overnight. Find something you love and it will be a lot easier to get in your workouts. Congrats and good luck!

    Ah yes... the eating like a man trap. I've now fallen into that one twice. :-(

    -chew gum while you're cooking
    -he gets up to have ice cream, either have 1 spoon (not a scoop) of his or have a small piece of fruit/ water/ milk
    -seconds? try to resist. I have found if I dish myself a small portion and eat slower, I can usually make it. I also got some plates that are 2 inches smaller so you can get the visual impact of a full plate
    -we go through a lot of milk in our house, so I'm having to cut back and make myself drink water.
    -don't put the food on the table (leave it in the kitchen on the counter/stove)
    -I need to work on this one - have a salad with dinner, preferably with a vinaigrette dressing and lots of veggies (or just cook extra veggies and make them 1/2 of your plate)

    Good luck and best wishes!

    Eat clean
    Push hard
    Lift
    Challenge your body

    You'll be surprised what you see in the mirror.

    1st off - CONGRATS !!!


    You can start by cleaning out your cubbard and fridge and making sure you have plenty of fresh fruits/veggies and meat -- ditch the sodas and replace everything with water.
