    Honestly, your body weight is going to fluctuate 5lbs either way. At this point, I wouldn't worry about trying to reach that number in three weeks. You never know, your body might be at its "happy weight" already. I'd just spend the next three weeks really trying to take care of yourself, enjoying the time leading up to your wedding, and just having a good time.

    I'm sure you look beautiful already--with or without those last 5lbs. :)

    I'd have to agree with the above. Besides, no one knows that number on the scale except you. People only see your shape and muscle tone.

    Keep in mind that you shouldn't be targeting the same muscle group every day. Do push-ups every other day and the days in between do crunches or squats or something that doesn't use those same muscles.

    Watch your sodium intake and that will keep the extra fluid off and make your muscles look more defined.

    Congrats on the upcoming wedding! Just stick with what you're doing already- going for a crash the last few days would just be more likely to make you feel exhausted and not your best on your big day. In three weeks you can definitely lose a bit more just keeping up a healthy lifestyle. You can always make sure to eat foods to cut as much bloat as possible for the day of, I'm sure you'll look fantastic!
