Vivian, on July 17, 2017 at 4:41 PM Posted in Fitness and Health 0 23

Ok so i still have about 10 months for my wedding

Im 24 yrs old, mom of 2 beautiful girls. I used to weight 140 and was super happy with my body now after my 2nd pregnancy i weight 185. I will like to drop to 150.

Any tips on how to loss 35 lbs??

I work 4 night 12 hrs shifts,babysitter is not an option for me so i cant go to the gym daily.

Should i wait to loss weight to go dress shopping?? Im super picky and i know im gonna have trouble to find THE perfect dress so i was going to start looking for dresses next month.

    See your doctor and have him/her help put you on a plan to lose weight in a healthy way. Please don't try any crazy or extream diets (I'm vegetarian btw). Make slow changes to be more healthy in general. Make sure you drink the proper amount of water, get enough sleep and exercise. As for dress shopping you could wait but honestly you can buy a dress that fits and it can be adjusted smaller. 35 lbs is a a lot to lose (obviously it's possible, but just think about everything else going on in your life over the next 10 minutes- your a mom, planninng a wedding and I'm assuming you work a job too.) So don't be unreasonable with yourself- your going to look gorgeous on your wedding day no matter what you weigh. If you are super dedicated to losing that amount you'll need to lose a little less then a pound a week which is fine as long as it's in a healthy way and you're under the care of a good doctor. That's my two cents lol Smiley smile congratulations to you and good luck!

    You still have a lot of time to lose the weight. My Fitness Pal and Lose It apps are super helpful. I like the Lose It app better than My Fitness Pal because it's more interactive and if you upgrade to the paid version it gives you meal ideas. It's possible to lose weight without exercising, but exercising will also help you to become healthy overall. If you can't make it to the gym try walking around your neighborhood. Take your girls with you. Or try biking.

    I've been using advocare. Its a little expensive but it teaches you healthy eating habits. Its a 24 day challenge, I'm on the 10th day and I've lost 4 lbs already.

    With 10 months to your wedding, you should be buying a dress within the next few weeks. They take 6-9 months to come in from the manufacturer and you need to leave time for alterations.

    Order in the dress you are now. If you lose weight, you can get it altered. Sometimes you can alter down 2-3 sizes without destroying the integrity of the dress

    It is easier to take a dress in than let a dress out, so I advise ordering in your current size.

Im so disappointed in myself. Granted a lot of my problem is a medicine I was on, but the other part is I LOVE food haha. Regardless ..... best of luck!

    It depends where you're getting your dress from to determine when you need to get it btw! I got mine from Davids bridal. I went in 6 months before the wedding and the dress arrived within a few weeks of that so it ended up just hanging in my closet for months until my first fitting which was last week! As for losing weight, there are TONS of free in-home work out plans you can find online. Just look on Pinterest, which is also where you can find healthy recipes and meal/snack ideas!

    Talk to a nutritionist and your doctor. Diet and work out. Even if you just walk up and down your stairs at your house for 20 minutes that counts for something. Lots of water and cut out all other drinks except some sugar free juices or black coffee or tea.

    I agree with @coffee. I'm also a mom to 2 and I wasn't real comfortable with my weight, etc. I figured every dress I was going to try was going to make me feel worse about myself. But I went to look anyway and found my perfect dress that actually made me look/feel slimmer. Don't wait, go look. You might find something perfect. Then you have plenty of time to still lose some weight to feel even better in the dress when you get it fitted. Good luck

    I'm doing advocare...and there is an app called "diet bet" and basically you wager with yourself and others to lose weight.

    I highly recommend beachbody on demand! I do it every morning at 6 am in my living room while my kids sleep. They aslo have nutrition plans on there to follow if you also want that. It really does work and I actually look foward to it.

    Use MyFitnessPal so you can track your calories and macros.

    Cut out/significantly reduce sodium, sugar and white carbs.

    Don't eat carbs past 7pm.

    Drink a ton of water (with lemon).

    Eat all your fruits before noon.

    Grapefruit works great to help lose weight, as well as adding cayenne pepper seasoning to your meals.

    Eat lean cuts of meat.

    Exercise: strength training, and cardio. More of strength training because you will burn an additional 50 calories for every pound of muscle you add to your body. Zumba is a great form of cardio, but if you really want to burn some fat, add HIIT exercise 1-2 a week. I take/am licensed in STRONG by Zumba, but since you can't go to a gym, that's not a program that you can do. But if for some reason you manage to find a way to hit the gym, take that class.

    Lastly, go hard, but be aware of your limits.

    Good luck.

    Look into Beachbody...I use Beachbody on demand and have access to all the workouts and it's great because I can workout from home. It's $90 for a year but all the workouts and meal plans/recipes you get it's so worth it!

    You can't outrun a bad diet. See your Dr. Fix your diet. Don't make changes that aren't sustainable. Lose the weight for your health, long term. Not for the wedding.

    I recommend trying the BBG program. It's a fitness app called 'Sweat', you get a week free trial and then it's $20 a month. If you look on instagram or pinterest you can see people's REAL results. I just started this program and I am SORE from day one and it's been 2 days.
