Wedding in two months- HELP!!!

You say the dress fits now due to it being corsetted

Are they planning to have you stand on the scales before you say I do?

If not then does the number on the scales matter?
Eat well, lift heavy and relax when you can

Then go and enjoy your big day

I would like to remind you in these 1 months you likely also have a shower,bachelorette party, other family events that are thinks you want to relax and eat and drink at.
Aim for a small deficit and some good fun workouts but remember it is all just a day what matters is the lifetime you are starting and healthy for that lifetime is more important.

Nicole - I'm also sorry that many of the people here are definitely coming off a little judgmental. Your goal is totally doable (it is basically a pound a week for a short period of time!) and I GET IT. When I got married I knew when I looked my best and I wanted to get down to that too! (That was 17 years ago btw.)

I am 5'8" also and was 167 at the beginning of January. MUCH higher than my "normal" weight as I let myself go over the fall and holidays. I have lost 12 pounds in January and am not starving myself. I tend to lose easily because my body knows it does not belong at this weight. I eat 1400 calories a day and do about 45 min of cardio daily. I will add strength training next month and of course my weight loss will slow down as I get smaller. I hit my macros and am not hungry or weak. I will up my calories slowly but wanted to see quick progress to motivate me - and I did just that and feel healthier than I have in a long time. You look gorgeous but I get why you want to be smaller. At 167 I was considered overweight and felt uncomfortable because *I know my body*.

So good luck to you. If you don't lose another pound you already look great and will have a great wedding but I wish you the best as you try to lose those last few!!!

Names? Saying some people are "coming off" a little judgmental certainly isn't calling anyone names. Clearly some people are coming off that way, as evidenced by several people's reaction to responses, including the poster's.

Her goals are not unrealistic, unobtainable or unhealthy. It's her wedding for god's sake and if she isn't stressed and can reach her goal and feel her best then what is wrong with that!? She seems like she has a great head on her shoulders and isn't obsessing!

Frequent fasted cardio (after 16 hours no calorie intake) and heavy weight training, with your calories set at 2lb per week loss and eating a little less than say 40% of your exercise calories might get you there.

I've seen your photos on your profile and you really don't need to do this, you are lovely as you are.

However if you really want to you can do it. Whether it would turn out to be a good idea is anybody's guess

The bolded is a scar-free form of self-harm. I for one would show up to the altar dead if I tried that.

To the part of what to eat and feel satisfied. I would suggest veggies. I know that is probably to simple but I eat raw veggies at lunch with hummus and cooked veggies and protein at dinner. For me I enjoy eating, I eat tons of vegetables so I get tired of chewing and feel full. I also like yogurt and cottage cheese- sweet, creamy, and protein. I haven’t given up carbs, but get most of mine are from vegetables instead of grains. I also cut out most added sugar especially from drinks.

Congratulations on your current healthy achievements and your upcoming wedding!
