Dress is too small! 2wks till wedding, I'M FREAKING OUT!!!!!!!!

Maybe an herbal cleanse? sounds gross but it cleans out your system and knocks of some lbs.

Good idea Kerin. I would do that and maybe combine it with a hardcore video like Jillian Michaels 30 day shred. Also, I heard about this diet last summer. I had never heard of it before, and I haven't heard of it since, but you could probable google it. It is a green bean and chicken diet. Basically you eat nothing but chicken and green beans. The girl who told me about it lost a lot of weight very quickly. The downside to it is getting sick of green beans and chicken.

Hope this helps.

Call whoever you had do alterations/bustle today and see if they can insert the corset back per LovelyUnique's suggestion. It worked for a friend of mine. It will be worth the cost in order to insure that you're comfortable on your wedding day and not stressed between now and then.

How much weight do you need to lose dear? definitely don't starve yourself. that's just not healthy. Are you cleared by your doctor to start exercising again? I recommend you do Phase One of the South Beach diet. Basically restrict yourself to meat and veggies for 2 weeks. No bread, pasta, potatos, fruit, or rice. Drink nothing but water. No soda or even juice. Fruit and juice have lots of sugar. Exercise if you can. That will help. When I read the south beach diet book, it said that most people will lose 8-12 pounds in the first 2 weeks and the majority of it will be belly fat. Good luck. Be dilligent but also be healthy.

I haven't tried it yet, but my brother and sister and law said that if you really stick to it this diet works.

and combined with losts of walking

How much do you need to lose? If it isn't that much you could take some water pills... they will only help you lose a few pounds of water weight (and it will be temporary) but if you only need to lose about 5 pounds they could help

I would not recommend crash dieting before your wedding. see if you can get the corset back which will give you some flexibility so if you lose some weight great, but if not, no biggy either. my friend did a crash diet before she went on a cruise (the lemon juice diet or something) but advised me to not do that before RIGHT before the wedding. everyone reacts differently to those types of diets, you don't want to be feeling 'off' on the wedding b/c you haven't been eating as you normally do.

For something extreme you can do the meat and egg diet. I have done it in the past and it works - really you feel like your belly has reduced and if you stick to it, you can loose ten pounds quickly...remember no cheating. Drink lots of water to help with headaches, they usually last from day 3 - day 5...but do go away.

if you want extreme only eat lower fat protein.eggs, chicken, turkey and keep out the cheese -good luck

The corset idea is a good one but unfortunately won't work with my dress, becaue it's a keyhole cut in the back. I've done south beach before and did loose about 10lbs the first 2weeks. Thanks everyone! Looks like i'm having turkey, chicken, tuna, and veggies for the next two weeks. My MD cleared my to activities as tolerated, i'm still a little sore int he area, but i think 30 min of walking and a video work out will be okay.

Try WW & strictly with some walking, I think you could loose like 10lbs. or more in those 2 weeks. BUT I would still start with an herbal cleanse before doing anything to boost the weight lose right away!!!

WW is weight watchers...

Lemon Cleanse:

Give up everything containing added sugar! I did this and my body completely changed in just 3 days! Eat lots of fruits and veggies--quinoa is really good too! Good luck

Cut out carbs, you will lose weight fast! It will come back of course but it definitely works as a crash diet. Good luck!

I would also recommend cutting out the carbs. I lost 60 pounds in 6 months by just eating meats and veggies i would ocassionally have rice but all whole grain stuff. Drink lots of water, do not eat after 730 and just stick to 6 small meals a day ..breakfast would be egge beaters with 2 peices of turkey bacon snack would be string cheese lunch , tuna(no mayo) over romanine lettuce to give it texture another snack..dinner fish and veggies ..fibe one bars help too they keep you full longer because of all the fiber

If you can find tome the day before get a slenderizing body wrap, you can lose inches but only very temporarily.

Do an herbal cleaning, then get a colonic. Gross, I know, but you will lose a lot of weight.

Before every meal, drink a glass of water and a slice of bread with a very light spread of EVOO at least 15 minutes before the meal. IF you are doing the no carbs, then just the glass of water, but it makes you less hungry.

EVOO - extra virgin olive oil
