I have 4 weeks to lose weight

If you have a high percentage of fat, you probably aren't going to make a visible difference in 4 weeks. Do what you can but I wouldn't stress it. You have someone who loves you. Enjoy getting ready for your new life together.

We'd been engaged .. for ... forever.

But when we finally got around to the actual planning, we had 14 weeks .. so I decided 28lbs was a realistic weight loss.

But, just in case, I got my dress fitted around my "largeness" ... 14wks later, a whole load of stress ... I fitted that dress perfectly, felt a milion dollars and had a great day.

Oh yes ... I lost nowt.

I still look at those photo's now (12yrs later) and think we look ace.

Have a great day and enjoy it, after all, you don't want to do it twice !!!

Dang you guys are harsh lol. You can do a lot in 4 weeks OP. Keep doing the shred consistently everyday and add in about 30 minutes of cardio 3-4 days a week. Reduce sodium and sugar in your diet and drink only water. The shred really tones up the shoulders and back. You will definitely notice a difference in how your dress fits and better yet in how you feel. Check out some 30 day shed before and afters in the success forum. Many people have gotten visible results in just 30 days.

I may sound rude here, but I am writing from the perspective of a guy who will be celebrating his 39th Wedding Anniversary in a few months and I love my wife with all my heart.

So, are you wanting to lose weight to look good in your wedding dress or are you desiring to look attractive to your future hubby after the nuptials?

If the latter is the case, slow and steady is great since he obviously loves you the way you look now. If the former is the case, will you be following the "Gain a husband, lose a diet" scenario?

I am 20 days into 30DS. Mind you, I haven't done it that many days straight. I took up doing some cardio a few weeks ago (PE class) and also some yoga. Anyway, I only lost 2 lbs (I'm pretty close to goal) but I lost a total of 7". Some of that in places you couldn't really see any fat. So yes, working out can help you in 4 weeks and it will probably make you feel better. I have numerous strange medical issues and overall, I feel much better when I exercise.

Don't stress too much over the weight though, he's marrying you because he loves you, not because of how you think you should look but don't right now.

I just want to say that only exercise work out is not enough for lose weight you have to do some thing extra with it. I mean you need to take effective control on eating habits. You need a perfect diet plan who leads you on desire point Use raw and boiled vegetables and fresh fruits mostly. Neglect all the fat and high protein foods items which create hurdles in reducing weight. Drink 8 to 10 glass of water per day. Use juice after every 2 hours to maintian energy level.

i agree! you need to be consistent! do 30ds every single day! you've only got four weeks so you've got to do it everyday, and you will for sure see some results. maybe not a 15 pound difference or anything major but you should tone up some more and ultimately feel better for your special day. id say if you can also do ripped in 30, but you could have a little more slack with that one if you're doing 30ds everyday.

There have been some great results posted on the forums after people have done the 30DS. Good luck to you.

A few weeks ago a woman at work said to me, "Michael, what can I do to loose 8 lbs by my son's June wedding?". I answered, how about 8 lbs in 2 weeks? I gave her a copy of my trainer Ultimate Fat loss diet and she lost that 8 lbs in 2 weeks and she was already looking good.
This is is what I would and and what I DO when I want to look extra lean for something.

I follow the phase 1 of the plan and I workout hard with the weights, drink lots of water and I get plenty of sleep. I'll be honest with you...the diet is hard, especially the 1st 2 weeks.

The 1st 2 weeks is a carb detox...you cut out all junk food, sodas, white sugar, flours and breads... You only eat foods that are low in carbs...like 2 pieces of fruit a day and veggies. That's it for carbs...that will leave you between 50 - 75 carbs a day. Of course you eat meat...like lean chicken, turkey, fish, lean beef and even lean pork. 1% or lower cottage cheese, cheese, greek yogurt and such. There are not a lot of choices but it works.
After the 2nd week you slowly add carbs back in by adding 1/2 cup of oatmeal with breakfast and everything else stays the same.
I know it sounds hard but it works.
Message me or add me if it sounds like something you can handle.

I know you want to look god but 4 weeks is not enough. You should just relax and be happy that you are marrying the love of your life. You can do a little but there is not going to be a big change. Just try to be healthy and be happy that you are getting married, thats the most important thing

Losing weight quickly is bad for you! great on the scales...crap for your skin! it's got to retract naturally or you get sagging....it's natural and you cant hide from it....sorry.

Good luck on your big day and I hope you have a lifetime of happiness together!
