I can't get motivated. I'm short, overweight(Size 22) and worried I won't be able to at least lose 30 pounds before my July 4th wedding next year. Help!

    I ordered my dress 3 sizes too small. I then lost 55 lbs in 4 months. Medifast. I had lost 122 lbs in 9 months a few years ago and gained half back since. Ordering the dress too small was my only motivation and it worked. No alterations needed!!

    You can totally do it!! I lost over 10 pounds before just by cutting out juices, sodas and all of the sugary drinks. Stick to water and that alone will help you drop weight. And finding meals that are tasty and healthy! Smiley smile You can totally do it!!

    That is a long time away. Having said that you need to start now. 3 super simple tips...walk every day. 15 min 2x a day is 30 minutes. Do not drink anything besides water and unsweetened tea. (Make sure u drink 64 ounces everyday) . Before every meal eat a piece of fruit. It will make u fuller faster.

    Only one week to go to my wedding and I've reached my weight loss goal. I used a program called the Venus Factor I found on a review site ebooksfitness.com. It gave me the info and motivation to keep on trying. Before that I was like a rudderless boat receiving conflicting advice from well meaning friends and family. But my weight stayed the same until I started following the plan. And now I'm so happy. It's worth a shot. Good luck and best wishes :-)

    I totally hear you... As much as I didn't want to spend the money I got a trainer to do semi private training for less and I joined my fitness pal. It was the only way I would follow it. I've tried everything under the sun. This is the only thing that seems to be working.
