    10kg ain't gonna happen. Pick a reasonable goal and in one month I'm sure you will look great. Spanx

    Depending on your current weight and activity level you could possibly lose 2 lbs (lbs not kg) a week so maybe 8 lbs or 3.63 kg but that is very aggressive

    Yes to 8kg, maybe. Use a food scale, that way you know your calorie intake is accurate. But don't be disappointed, I'm sure they will love you just the same.

    you think that if you're 10kg thinner they will like you better?

    if so - then do you really want in-laws that are so shallow?

    Sorry - i don't mean to come across as a rude snarky cow - just trying to put some perspective out there. Losing 10kg in a months is stupid crazy - even if you starve yourself and lose it you will only just pack it all (and maybe more) back on.

    Slow and steady wins the race in the weight-loss game.

    17.6 lbs in a month or 4.4 lbs a week is super aggressive but possible I guess

    That sucks that you feel you need to do all to meet them. If your husband loves you thats all that should matter. But don't stop trying to lose 10 kilos just not in a month k

    Sometimes it's just difficult to describe why people would not react to you the same way they would react to a thin person.. But that is the bitter truth.. Whether we like it or not

    If losing weight is what you want, it should be to make YOU happy and HEALTHY, and should not be for the benefit of other people. Losing 10kgs isn't going to make you any more likeable to your in-laws - I am sure they are more concerned with your happiness and their son/daughters happiness than you being 10kg lighter. Keep your goals in mind for the right reasons and when achieved, the right things will fall into the right place.

    Relax. When I met my (then future-) in-laws I was close to my heaviest weight. They liked me just fine, and we have a great relationship. My wife and I were (and are!) very much in love and clearly a good match, and made each other happy.

    Don't fall for the woo. Calorie deficit is all you need.

    Somebody who reacts poorly to his/her DIL based on weight is somebody who you need to care less about impressing. Lose weight and get healthy for yourself, not for somebody you see rarely enough to have never met despite marrying his/her child.

    Totally agree. If your husband loves you for you, why should you care what his parents think of your weight? Do they have fetishes for thin people or something? If you are happy, that is all that matters. If you want to lose weight for you, do it the right way. Slow and steady to learn healthy eating habits is the way to go. Losing weight quickly, and putting it back on, is not healthy.
