Wearing a bikini in 2 weeks

little background on me:

Last summer I finally got to my "ideal" weight (for me anyway), and I happily wore a bikini. I'm not saying I looked like a supermodel but I looked slim but curvy and my belly was starting to look toned.

Come winter I put some weight back on but I'm now back to my ideal weight. I definitely don't look the way I did last summer though.

My belly definitely has more of a wobble (even hubby who always says I look good agrees). I think I've lost weight quickly with diet and not enough exercise?

I've only got 2 weeks. Is there anyway I can do anything to make my stomach look a little less wobbly? I know this probably sounds silly but to me it matters!

Any help appreciated!!

    Two weeks isn't a lot of time. Do you have a little extra cash? If I didn't want to show off my belly, I'd opt for a retro bikini with a higher waist. :) Otherwise, I have no suggestions, but someone else might!

    If it were me, I'd drop my calories back down to a deficit, cut my sodium intake, and really focus on cardio and strength training these next two weeks. There may be other ways to acheive a little less wobble, but this is simply what I would do.

    She's not prepping for a bodybuilding competition, lol.

    OP, 2 weeks isn't a lot of time. Best you can do is create a caloric deficit of 500 (that means 1lb a week, because 500x7 = 3500, 3500 calories in a lb of fat).

    Not gonna happen in 2 weeks (in a healthy way). Go buy a flattering bikini. Then, start lifting heavy weights.

    Self tanner can help. Standing tall with a smile helps too. Stick with your calorie deficit and exercise. Two weeks could be two pounds.

    You won't be able to lose a lot of weight in 2 weeks, but here are my tricks to looking bikini ready. I do this every time I am 2 weeks out from vacation. Cut out dairy, sugar and fibrous veggies (like broccoli, etc.). I also cut out most wheat-based food, and get my carb sources from veggies and fruit only. I also cut out sweeteners, since they tend to cause bloating. It's not fun or easy, but it's tolerable for 2 weeks. I'll have coffee (with coconut milk) and scrambled eggs and chicken sausage in the morning (I'll use goat cheese, just not cow's dairy), for lunch a huge salad with chicken breast and homemade vinaigrette dressing (olive oil, crushed garlic, red wine vinegar and Dijon mustard blended), and a big piece of fish or chicken with roasted veggies for dinner. Snacks are fruit (berries, watermelon and pineapple) or fruit smoothies made with protein powder and unsweetened coconut or almond milk. I'll drink water with lemon slices - no carbonated drinks which also cause bloat. Again, it isn't going to make you lose a bunch of weight (if any) but your tummy will be happy and flat.

    Thank you for all the replies! Not expecting to lose much more weight nor do I expect a six pack but the tips to help ensure no bloating etc definitely help.

    Dandelion Root tea helps with bloating.
