Be realistic about your weight loss goal. If you've never been a size 4, why expect to be that size by your wedding day? You are unlikely to achieve a magical transformation, so don't even consider it.
Using a radical diet program to lose the weight quickly and with little effort. Yes, you've seen all the ads, TV commercials, and infomercials promising rapid weight loss without exercising. You've seen the dramatic before/after photos (with the disclaimer "results not typical"). Are you still going to fall for that? Experts advise against . Many of these diet products, including ones using herbs or stimulants, can be dangerous and are easily abused. Don't fall into that trap. In addition, the weight you lose on a crash diet will probably come back, twice as much. After depriving your body of food, your body will crave fatty foods and junk food, leading to extra weight gain. Is that the way you want to start your new marriage?
Exercising regularly under normal times is difficult. Trying to maintain a regimen when you're inundated with wedding planning details can seem impossible. However, experts agree that diet (eating a healthy diet and the right foods, in proper portion sizes) AND exercise go hand in hand. Try to incorporate small periods of time when you can go to the health club for 30 minutes a few times a week (your local Curves outlet?), do some extra walking, jog for 20 minutes, go to that jazzercise class, swim for a few minutes, anything. Extra bonus -- exercising regularly will give you more energy to handle those wedding tasks and it acts as a relief valve to counter all that wedding-related stress. Think of it as your one hour "break" or vacation. 1
