55 days for weight loss?

You should be losing 1-3 pounds a week (any more and it’s u healthy) meaning you can lose around 8-24 pounds. I love wearing ankle and wrist weights all day and do some work outs at home. I would also calculate how much calories you should be eating and watch your intake. Don’t skip breakfast drink lots of water threw out the day. Drink a big glass of water about 30 minutes before eating and try to eat healthy. Hope it works out

I have been doing the keto diet for a little over a month (I started on January 14) and I have lost atleast 20 lbs. I didn't weigh myself at the start but I'm pretty sure it was about that. It really can be challenging to healthily follow but I highly recommend it! Just beware it truly is a lifestyle change and just like any diet if you plan on going right back afterwards you will gain the weight back! But in my experience you should have no problem losing 24-30 lbs doing keto and working out.

Most of your weight loss is dependent on what you put on your fork. You'll want a deficit between calories in versus calories out. I use MyFitnessPal to monitor the calories that I am consuming (and yes, I do weigh/measure out all of my food). Additionally, I use a Fitbit to track my calorie burn throughout the day. I had a personal trainer for a couple years, so I follow the workout and meal plans he created for me and try for a calorie deficit of 900-1000 calories a day (1400 calories consumed with a burn goal of 2300). However, while those numbers work for me, they may not work for you. If you can, I'd recommend going to see a nutritionist or personal trainer who can help you create a plan that works best for you. If you want to see lasting results, you'll have to find a plan that changes your eating habits and activity levels permanently rather than a "diet" that you'll go off of once the wedding is over. And if you don't happen to lose the weight, remember that your FS loves you just the way you are and you will be absolutely unmatched on your wedding day.

Just remember that keto doesn't work for everyone. I tried keto a couple of years ago at the suggestion of my trainer after a couple months at a plateau. It did absolutely nothing for me weight wise and just made me an insufferable witch to be around. After a month of no change to my weight, body fat %, or measurements (and I followed it to a "T" with no cheat meals), we decided to nix keto and try other changes instead. I highly suggest finding a professional who can help make a plan and monitor to make the most healthy changes for your body.

Very true but I know it works for many, as you said though ultimately it is about the caloric deficit, I eat absolutely no more than 1200 calories a day and I track everything in my fitness pal! so for me it has been successful! Best if luck to both of you!

Don't forget to leave enough time for any necessary dress alterations though! xxx

Intermittent fasting is another option. I have read that this is not a long term lifestyle for women, in particular those who would like to have children, but it may be worth a try temporarily.

Try a cleanse. Last year I did the GM diet it’s only a week I lost 15 pounds I ate clean after that I kept it off for almost a year until my grandmother passed away then I started stress eating. You can cycle the cleanse every month. I did that a few times and lost a total of 30 pounds in 2018. I have gained back 15. Good luck 👍

Why dont you try weight watchers. My FMIL lost over 5lbs in the first 2 weeks. She loves it and helps her to eat healthier since it's a point system we all dont realize what is actually good for us until you see how it racks up. But with that and working out im sure you will see fast results and drink lots of water try to avoid sugars and starches.

I’m in love with Vshred. The workouts are based on what I want to accomplish, they make my diet plan, and I just follow it! I don’t starve or do a lot of cardio. It’s just 28 minute workouts. I hope you have a beautiful wedding

I did the 28 day jumpstart from fit girls guide. It’s all doable at home.

You will look beautiful on your wedding day no matter how much you weigh. I guarantee it!

Stress contributes so much to weight stuff so hopefully you can find a way to destress. Exercise is good for this!

I don’t know what your diet is like but simple things that add up are swapping out snack foods for things like carrots & celery sticks. Even little changes like switching to drinking coffee without sugar add up.

Going on a crash diet and feeling hungry all the time will not help your stress levels and can lead to binging. Don’t get stuck on a number—the difference between 199 and 200 seems huge mentally but no one aside from you would be able to tell the difference!

Be kind to yourself. At the end of the day you will be married and your friends and family will be there to support & celebrate you! Isn’t that more important than a number on the scale?

Count calories, portion control, protein shakes, reach 10,000 steps a day, and HIIT workouts. There are apps to help with all of that (for free). That is the quickest way I have found to lose weight. I'm struggling with it right now, because of my lack of motivation....but last spring I lost 30 lbs doing all of that in around 2 months.

Absolutely more about nutrition than exercise- I have a thyroid condition and the only thing I have found that helps me is Isagenix- I have lost and maintained- also best hair- nails and complexion I have ever had- it is dense nutrition and cellular cleansing- I lost 12 lbs in one month..and gained muscle tone-and felt amazing enjoy your special day and do not stress about the weight - continue working towards healthy habits so you can get the most out of life

Start cutting down on carbohydrates and sugar and drink lots of water. I tried doing the keto diet last year and lasted 6 weeks (with occasional cheating). This was a record for me as I could never diet! This was however, not sustainable for me but I did lose some weight.

Also, you might want to look up Intermittent fasting. This is what I am trying to do right now.

Up your protein, lower your carbs. You don't have to do keto and try to cut all carbs, but cut back as much as you can. Instead of eating a burger, eat it without the bun.. eat veggies instead of pasta/rice/potatoes, etc. It's a quick way to lose weight, but most people don't keep it going for a change of lifestyle. I'm sure you'll look great either way! I had plans to lose, but my body, hectic life, and stress levels have said otherwise to me right now. There's all kinds of quick fads/diets, but they are mainly meant for short term weight loss. Weight loss is 80% nutrition and 20% working out..

View Quoted Comment I did keto as well and lost 17 pounds in a month. Cutting out carbs is a quick way to lose pounds and also cut out bloating to feel healthier!

Just a quick warning about keto! I did it years ago wanting to lose a quick 15lbs and I definitely did! However, at 23 I was blissfully unaware of my family history and personal health. Just after I did keto, I had my bloodwork done for a yearly physical and my cholesterol had skyrocketed. It runs in my family anyway, but the diet of keto (high fat, low carb) can lend itself to increasing cholesterol. Heart health is so important to me now, and I'm still trying to course correct from that. Everyone is different, but please check with a doctor for heart health before doing something that drastically changes what you're eating.

On my end, I lost 30lbs in a year for my wedding. However, I did cheat a good amount (lots of pre-wedding events where I couldn't not eat what the hosts prepared for me) on the weekends. I practiced Intermittent Fasting and cut back carbs and sugar as much as I could. I still ate small portions of whole grains (for the heart to get healthier!), but ultimately just watching portion size. I also have done Weight Watchers in the past and highly recommend it. It is one of the best programs to educate on overall healthy eating, how to sustain it, how to allow for "cheats" and "treats", etc. It's definitely not the fastest program, but if this is something you've been feeling for a long time and want to continue past your wedding, WW is amazing.

I have no doubts you'll look beautiful on your day. I love late April weddings! Best of luck

Make sure to loose weight healthy my ssuggestion is to cut out sofa, eat lean meats no fast food plenty of veggies and fruit

Definitely cut out Soda. I've been on Strict Keto since August. Between Sept and Nov I've lost 11lbs. Now in February back on Strict Keto I've lost about 25lbs. I've lost about 25-31lbs so far. But I've gone down alot in inches. So much I've gone down about 2 sizes. Keto is a change of lifestyle and its NOT for everybody. If it's not for your, eli mate soda and junk food. Also incorporate walking more and you can always do classes at home us and ng youtube.
