Wedding Body

Keto as well. For reference, I started a size 8 and am 5’9” .. and so far I lost about 10 pounds in a month, not totally down a size but I feel better in clothes. I haven’t been exercising much and I eat real foods, none of that gimmick keto food (bars and fake sugars for example).

Diet is drinking only water - except for 1x cup of coffee a day with almond milk. Eating very healthy meals, low carbs, lower fats, foods. Trying to stay away from sugar as much as possible. Exercising an hour a day, plus walking dogs, walking up & down steps at work (5x flights, 3x daily). I have been doing this since the beginning of April, and as of last Friday was down 17 lbs - tomorrow is my next weekly weigh in.

This isn’t specifically for the wedding but I practice keto and work out a lot but that’s my lifestyle because I has IBS and work a job I have to be fit for.

View Quoted Comment Hi, I also had wls I am doing the same thing, eating like I am supposed to. I doing a reset today and tomorrow to flush all the junk out. I use the kool aid packets to help with my water intake. There are a ton of other flavors out there. The 99 cent store sells them

I am eating smaller portion sizes (because I eat large) and just eating healthier. Chicken, steak, veggies, fruits, no soda, chips or fast food

I joined a bootcamp! It's a killer though ugh! lol

I'm doing Keto and Intermittent fasting, and working out 4-5 days a week. Sometimes it's a pain when out to eat but overall I love how I feel on it. To be fair though, I started this before we got engaged so I'm just going to keep doing it.

I have cut out pop (I'm from the north... You may call it soda) and I try to eat 3 times a day with snacks in between. I also exercise 3 times a week and when I eat I didn't go back for seconds. I eat what's on my plate and drink water. And I don't eat after 9pm

I started the Keto diet so I can get a better idea of how I will look when I start trying on wedding dresses. Its a good diet if you want quick weight lost, not the best for long term tho. I like to say that Keto pretty much lets you eat whatever you want as long as its nothing you really want (i.e. pasta, breads, donuts, etc) lol

Thank you. I used to think I was big in high school and looking back at pictures for the wedding I thought, "Daaaang, I looked good!" Haha.

I love veggie; if there's a good veggie option when we go out I'm on it for sure! My only hurdle is probably going to be my coffee. I love me a good latte but I'm starting to switch to "skinny" options and getting a smaller size.

I do a circuit workout at a boxing gym for women, walk during my lunches & have changed my diet. Don’t snack like I used to. I’m down 40lbs in 8 months.

View Quoted Comment I agree. My mom has been doing Keto and lost 60 pounds!

Totally agree with most of the ladies here, Keto will be your best friend. My mom has dropped 4 pants sizes since she started and loves how she feels

I have a Strawberry Slim Fast drink for Breakfast I eat things like hummus, almonds, bananas, oranges for snacks during the day. Then I either drink another slim fast for lunch or one for dinner. Depending on how busy I am. Believe it or not they actually keep me really full and happy.

I also drink NOTHING but water with the exception for my one cup of coffee a day.

I am also going to start working out today.

I will work out at 5am-6am M-F and take a break over the weekend. For dinners I still eat what I want, just not the whole plate. Trying to cut down on my portions. I have 3 months until the BIG day and I am trying to drop 20-30 pounds. I know it can be done just have to be realllllly strict.

I've always worked out 5-6 days a week and only drink water. I've been low carb since 2003, all I've done is started intermittent fasting and it's worked for some weight loss. I don't want to loose for the wedding - it's been an ongoing battle since 2003 when I lost a person. If I loose great, if I don't well nothings changed. LOL

WOW. Good for her!

What I like about keto is that it's not a diet. It's just clean eating.

I do 15/9 or 16/8 intermittent fasting. For breakfast, 4 days a week, I have bulgur wheat with red bell peppers, green onions, a little feta and some lemon juice. It fills me for a few hours because the bulgur has some carbs and lots of fiber. I also try to go to the gym 3-4 times a week. I mostly do cardio, vigorous walking usually uphill, sometimes not. For around 50 mines to an hour that might equal to 2.5-3 miles. When I am at home I try to stretch and do squats, hopefully soon I get back to strength training which is great to tone up, especially when losing fat. Also I drink 3-4 liters of water a day, which is about 100-150oz.

More salads, less dressing, increased my water intake to about 96 oz. a day. Lean protein and lots of veggies. I also increased my workouts. Oct 10 will be here before I know it. I have about a quarter/half inch to lose around the torso. Just to make sure the dress fits and I can breathe.
