Though there are many ways to lose weight quckly but none of them are healthy, There is n such thing as instant weight loss and u shud not go in for that. By controlling the intake of calories and regular exercise you can do this in 30-45 days

i am in the same position as you, i am getting married in september and i looking to lose at least a stone. i have just changed my eating habbits completely. i have a fresh fruit smoothie for breakfast and lunch then a fairly sensible meal for tea. you can make a smoothie with all most any type of fruit or fruit juice. my favourite at the moment is banana and peach with skimmed milk. it is filling and good for you, so not only will you lose weight you will be much healthier too. \n\nif this doesnt work for you you can go to your Dr and they can help you lose weight if you are seen to be clinically overweight. they can prescribe either xenical, or reductil.  xenical reduces the amount of fat your body absorbs, which may sound perfect but it had it's down sides. if you eat more than 50 grams of fat a day, the excess fat you consume comes out in your poo! and the only way to describe it is like cooking oil and you have no control over it.  i used xenical last year for about 5 months and lost 2 stone so it does work.\n\nthe other one reductil is an appetite suppressant, cant really go into much more detail than that as i have no experience of it.\n\nhope this is usefull and you manage to lose the weight you want.\n\ngood luck xxx

Won't happen. Too little time. You should've been working on that for the past year. But then again, you can always pay for liposuction or those spam crap that "guarantees" you weight loss when all they want is your money, leaving you with a placebo. Either way, there's no easy, quick solution to your dilemma. \n\nI lost 12 pounds in three weeks. All I did was cut fast food out of my diet and hit the gym every other day for two hours straight with the emphasis on cardio. Hey, no pain, no gain. No one said weight loss is supposed to be easy. I'm still working on that myself. Good luck.

My husband and I renewed our vows at our church, as we were originally married at the court house 5 yrs before and we too could not dance. Unfortunately that seems to be the norm for that.  All we could do was fellowship basically. You can always dance when you get home :-) Congrats on your upcoming nuptials

go to the Weight Watchers site, which will tell you where a meeting is near you.  Or sign up for Weight Watchers on-line, although it is a lot more fun to go to the meetings.\n\nIt's a good choice, I lost 48 lbs.

i dont think so! ill bet any money you dont! and its not about losing it ,try keeping it off after your birthday!!! you will burn yourself out and get depressed and start eating again,try setting a smaller goal and accomplish it month by month!!get yourself a smart sensible diet which takes off the pounds slowly that way it will stay off and dont forget you need to excercise try body building and set your goal to look fantastic for next year it will fly by!!

Well, I weigh 147 right now. I have lost 10 pounds so I am proud of myself.  I would really like to get back down to 120  ( that's about how much I weighed 3 years ago).  :)

one thing to remember about losing weight that close to your wedding, what about the alterations for your gown?  will there be time?  instead of having your heart on losing that weight, why not just concentrate on eating healthy and going for brisk walks.  it'll make you feel good about yourself, whether the weight comes off or not.  and it'll give you that glowing look for your big day.  good luck!!

You weighed 255lbs when you married your husband obviously  found you attractive...It doesn't really seem like he is being a pig but more or less supportive. I applaud you for trying to lose weight because that is extremely difficult especially when you feel as though your husband is losing interest. My fiance and I have been together three years and in the beginning we had sex everyday now maybe twice a month. It's not that we aren't attracted to each other anymore but with stress, work, family and alot of other things we are just to tired. Stay motivated your husband just doesn't seem to know exactly how to encourage you without you becoming discouraged. If I tell her she needs to diet then she'll feel unattractive but if i tell her she is fine the way she is then I am not being supportive of her diet. Basically he's trying and so are you...Good Luck!

It could be done but much will be water loss.  Don't put your body through that.  You'll appreciate this in years to come.  Remember, you are a great person despite those 6lbs.

No matter what anyone says or what all those money making gimmicks say, the best and healthiest way to lose weight is EXERCISE and GOOD EATING.  YOu have a fair amount of time so instead of worrying about dieting and short term results, instead, why not make it a goal to live a healthier lifestyle which will stick with you after you lose weight and after the vacation/wedding and will make you a healthy person (which has its pay offs i.e. longer life) in general.  This means eating well balanced meals (not crappy junk food (though once in awhile won't kill you)).  Most importantly, exercise has so much to do with health - physical, mental, emotional health.  There is an infinite number of pay backs from exercising from losing weight to better sleep to regulated periods, to better skin, to feeling good, to better childbearing, and on and on.  so make it a goal to change your lifestyle to become a healthy person.  stop buying junk food and stock up on grains, fruits and veggies, yogurt, chicken and fish, etc.  That way, not only will you look good on vacation/wedding but for life.

at this late date no and even if you did you gain that plus 15-20 more back. the way to lose weight is slowly.  if you lose it fast you gain it back. . .ALWAYS!!!!!!!

30 lbs in a year is a good goal and one that shouldnt be too difficult to obtain with some discipline.\n\nFirst and foremost you have to determine if it is a healty weight for you to be at.  I am 5'6" and pretty muscular, after talking with my doc, she said that she wouldnt recomend me being under 180 at this point.  To get under that weight I would need to cut way too much body fat.  I am currently at 205 and I carry a little more fat than I would like but for me it works.\n\nMake sure that you do this healthy way, with a lifestyle change that includes excecise and good eating.  I read in a Mens Fitness that it takes 6 weeks for something to turn into a habit.\n\nSet short term goals, write them down and post them somewhere you can see them repeated times during the day.\n\nHelped me.
