12 Days until my wedding! HELP!!

Congrats on the 70 pound loss that is great. You aren't going to make any noticeable changes to your body in 12 days though. You might drop a pound or two but unless you have some arrangement whereby your scale weight is embroidered across your dress no one is going to know.

You've made great progress and you should be proud. I would highly recommend taking the week before your wedding off and relaxing for the big day rather than trying to kill yourself to shed a pound and make yourself exhausted and moody.

I agree with this. Be happy with the changes that you have made thus far. I'm sure you look great.

This sounds more like a case of the nerves than issues with food. Relax and focus on the wedding and deal with the weight loss after the honeymoon.

12 days isn't much, I'd suggest making sure to keep hydrated; as water weight decreases when you are properly hydrated. Possibly fast the day before the event which slims you slightly because you won't have anything in your tummy but it's just temp/quick fix. Also if you tend to overeat or get cranky after/during fasting skip it because the slightly slimmer look isn't worth being upset on your wedding. best of wishes
Edit:
If you are having cravings but don't want to eat, exercising, listening to music and reading is how I usually distract myself.. hmm drinking 2 cups of water quickly helps curve my appetite... asking yourself if the food you are thinking about eating is worth the extra pound while thinking of how you want to look works good on me sometimes idk if it would for you though. Warm water curves your appetite better than cold most of the time and drinking warm water with chicken/beef bullion (broth)is usually effective at quickly curving an appetite but doesn't last long. Remember veggies/fruit are easy to digest and healthy so if you need something to actually "eat" to stop the cravings just reach for something raw... Distracting myself with music and exercising is my personal favorite because I get to jam out to music, I drink a lot of water that hydrates myself, I burn calories and it is very effective in helping me pass an hour or more without thinking to strongly about being hungry and afterwords I am often tired and not wanting to eat :P

I've been there. Legit tips above! Here's a few more--

Drink extra water. This will help your body balance out and reduce water retention.
Avoid (at least refined) sugar and flour. Look and feel less puffy!
Some people find that green or ginger tea helps reduce (particularly stomach) bloating as well.

Don't stress! But there are a few things that you can do to at least feel like you're being assertive about it. Congrats, have fun!

Just keep doing what you're doing. If you're really that concerned about losing an extra half pound before your wedding, I would suggest -- as others have -- that there are some psychological or relationship issues to address...

HAHA
WOW
Like I posted before- I'm not deluded about what can happen with my waistline in the next 12 days- do you stop and think it might be in relation to skin clarity and energy levels as well?

Thankyou to the genuine people who have posted I appreciate the fact you've taken time to respond.





Pity about the trolls though. Just go away if you've got nothing decent to say.

To be fair, you did specifically ask for help to shift a few more pounds - nothing about skin clarity or energy in your original request.

Drink stacks of water. I'd avoid any alcohol until the day. I wouldn't restrict calories in a crazy way, that would eat up your energy levels, possibly make you hangry and stressed.

Uh...okay then. Best thing for your skin clarity and energy levels would be to stop exercising completely, take a week break before your wedding and relax. Ease up on your diet, eat at maintenance for a while and drink lots of water.

Not sure why you think doubling down on workout intensity and cutting back on your calories more is going to help with your energy or health.

Do you want honest advice or just agreement with what your plan is?

This ^

Uhhhhh you asked us a question we answered?

Also just to add to what I posted above, you want to eat very little sodium and refined sugars to prevent any water weight hanging around. Drink lots of water and only water, tea, coconut water, etc. Don't drink juice either unless you have made it yourself in a juicer.

These aren't for every day, but just great for any special events you have. I also saw a video on how bodybuilders and models get themselves in a week to look great for their photoshoots. This helps a lot: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A6aYbs85ylU

Well... you specifically said that you wanted to know how to shed more pounds, and you actually got some very realistic and thoughtful advice from Aaron_K123.

Pity about the trolls though. Just go away if you've got nothing decent to say.

For the avoidance of doubt.

Realistic thoughtful advice = trolling.

OP congrats on your loss & big day!

As you know nothing permanent will be achieved in 12 days. But consider a body wrap for temporary loss, drink lots of water, maybe consider a spray tan (if its your thing).

Just eat well & stay calm. The last thing you want is to feel crappy on the day. Breath & relax!

Are you kidding OP?

Why didn't you start earlier? Jesus christ, so many people want a magic pill I swear.
