Anyone else dieting for their wedding?

First off good luck! You’ve got this! Having a plan and voicing it helps you feel empowered! Also, wow a Maui wedding will be so gorgeous!
My pre engagement routine was to practice yoga 45 minutes a day and go to the gym 2x a week. I’m trying to lose 20lbs by November. So I’ve started a keto diet again and added another gym day.

I did not but I’m dieting now for health. I’ve basically just been reducing calories and being more active, so far I’ve lost 60 lbs in a year.

View Quoted Comment That’s amazing! I hope I’m that successful at my dieting. I’m doing it more for my health too. A plus to look good on my wedding day. What sort of exercising and how many days may I ask?

View Quoted Comment I talk walks or walk on the treadmill about three times a week! I’m also just trying to be more active in general by getting in more steps throughout the day.

Before I got my dress I was sticking to some pretty healthy habits and was very happy with the way I looked. When i got my dress I was between a 2 and 4 and the boutique owner decided to order the 2 so that I would need less alterations. Well my second year of law school took a huge toll on me and I developed some bad habits and gained about 15 pounds in 2 months. Now I’m in a panic because my dress will be here in a month and I really don’t think it’ll fit! It’s also so delicate and I doubt it can be taken out at all. So I’ll definitely have to get back into my good habits - walking everywhere instead of driving, skipping the late night snacking and the snacking because I’m procrastinating my readings (sadly this is a new thing I do all the time), and all that. I’m hoping it works.



good luck with weight watchers and I’m sure you’ll be successful with it once again😊

I lift weights and do some light cardio. I’ve been counting my calories using MyFitnessPal. I just want to look my best, lose a few pounds. It makes a huge difference. I know I’m considered smaller but I was skinny fat and had a double chin easily in my photos but now it’s gone haha.

Good Luck!

I lost just a few pounds right before buying my dress, and when they measured me I was the exact size of a size 6 and too small for a size 8. Now I'm worried that I'll regain some weight and the dress wont fit when it comes in!

I already go to the gym 5 times a week, so I'm really just increasing my cardio and doing my best to stay active over the weekends because that's when I tend to eat more. I've also been going for walks when I feel sluggish or feel like snacking - it helps me feel more energized and distracts me from snacking! I'd recommend coming up with tricks like that to distract you when you get in those sluggish moods where you just want to snack (if you're like me, that happens every evening and most weekends). Stay busy and schedule social times that don't revolve around food (I've been scheduling hikes with my friends for once the weather warms up, and snowboarding trips to hold me over until then).

Completely cut your meals in half!! The easiest way to start is split all meals. If you can skip breakfast if you need to eat a cutie, apple, or low sugar oats. Don't forget once a week eat something you love. I promise it won't set you back unless you eat a whole bucket of ice cream. haha Don't do CROSS FIT!! This will cause you to look bulky. 3 days a week 1 hour to an hour and a half. Cardio 1 hour or 30min the rest spend light lifting and abs. Drink lots of water and keep lots of fiber in your diet. I have lost 25-30 pounds and feel wonderful!!!! For two months I have been able to stay where I am. I'm getting married June 6, 2020. I wish you the best !!

I would be so worried about dieting before my wedding.
