I'm a 30 year old bride to be, I thought I looked fine weighing 145lbs, height/164cm 
... a bit chubby...but no big deal. Then all the already super fit brides to be around me are losing weight and getting fit for their wedding a year ahead 
. So yeah, I gotta game up for my wedding and tone myself up with only 10 weeks left.
I'm doing interval workout, currently 30 - 60 minutes a day. My goal is 30 mins at night after dinner and 30 mins in the morning before breakfast and control my net calories intake below 1200. See how it goes.
Please give me some tips on how to loose 2.2bls in 10 weeks... I think I really need it haha

You were happy with how you looked, till you noticed somebody thinner who was getting married next year, and now you have an unrealistic goal to crash diet? :huh: :noway:
Plus you don't have 10 weeks, you only have till your final dress fitting which is usually 4-6 weeks before the wedding - if you lose after that your dress won't fit properly.0 -
Probably not going to happen. You're starting out a bit too late and 2.2 lbs per week for someone under 200lbs is tough to do. Not to mention stress factors more than likely to add in.kidbao1290me wrote: »I'm a 30 year old bride to be, I thought I looked fine weighing 145lbs, height/164cm... a bit chubby...but no big deal.

"Comparison is the thief of joy"
Youve left it to the last minute. You dont know enough about weight loss to realise what you are proposing it's unlikely to happen. id think 7-10lbs would be more realistic, notwithstanding what toad said about the cut off point being the fitting. Why do this to yourself? You were happy before. id know what to do if it were me, but really its not worth it. Alter your expectations.0 -
Not going to happen. Be excited for your upcoming wedding. Don't crash diet before it.0
-
Also, under 1,200 net calories is unhealthy and unsustainable.0
-
Not gonna happen. Sorry. Just enjoy your wedding. Or put it off until next summer.0

Enjoy this time. Biggest goal is to keep your stress down. Find some exercises to relieve stress and boost endorphins. Think of the next 10 weeks as going to a spa. Find some spa food recipes that are low calorie. Try to focus on just 6 or 7, pounds. Just a few pounds for someone at your weight will feel great.
Comparing ourselves to others isn't the healthiest road emotionally. If we think we are better than others that doesn't feel good. If we think less of ourselves that doesn't feel good. There is no winning the game of comparison. The only comparison that is healthy is comparing onself to an earlier version of yourself.

I am not familiar with what height you are in cm> how many pounds on that 'frame'. Don't know what you look like, in real time. If you are just 'chubby' then trying to loose 22lbs might be a goal that is too high unless you stick to a realistic diet plan. Stress dieting or eating will only stress you out more and have an affect on whether you lose/gain weight. Maybe lose what you can before fitting of gown and then try to maintain that diet until your wedding. Be happy on your special day and believe that you will be the most beautiful bride for the groom. What is more important is that your husband-to-be loves you because he sees you as being 'lovely'. There is too much going on during that last 2 or 3 weeks before a wedding which will mean you will be eating on the fly. Try using MFP to figure out how many calories you will use (the next day) and try to only eat healthy and not mindlessly. Better to have 6 small meals than eating mindlessly. Good luck with the weight loss and Congratulations on your wedding.0

Still trying to figure out why these threads pop up all of the time.0

I would concentrate on the daily exercise - try a barre class or pilates to work your core and posture... great posture will make you look thinner instantly. A great one to do is the Barre3 28 day challenge (google Barre3 to get the scoop or just look on you tube for barre videos)...0
-
Don't try to set a ridiculously goal that might leave you looking pale and drawn. Eat more healthily and exercise moderately and anything you lose will make you feel fab on the day. Your husband to be would rather you happy and healthy on his special day rather than stressed and disappointed.0

Work on toning til then. If you think you look fine, and your SO thinks you like fine (which he/she obviously does since you're getting married), you don't really need to lose weight.0

Plus sometimes it's an open bar, and you can get a free glass of wine!0 -
Be prepared for a 1000 daily calorie deficit, which will likely leave you with little to eat and no viable way to get your protein and fats. Also be prepared for the massive weight gain that will ensue.
These "gotta lose X by Y" diets are unrealistic at best, and dangerous at worst.0 -
My advice would be, if before you started comparing yourself to other women, you thought you were "chubby" (your words) and beautiful, and you found the perfect dress for your figure, and your future husband thought you were good enough to propose to, then just go with it. Major Weight loss is not for weddings, bikini seasons, etc. It's for life. If anything, wait until after the wedding before you start making changes.
For now, have a beautiful wedding, rock your curves, shake what your momma gave ya, etc. etc.0
