Re: Wedding in August..how to lose weight in a month!

Arghhhh Im SOOOO glad all u guys are having same issues as me!

Ive tried so much and still not losing weight its because i lack willpower and discipline like lets take last night..i walked to work for an hour and then went to the gym during my lunch for an hour so i felt really healthy etc etc then my dad bought takeaway at night..:( And I jus had to indulge now i feel so lazy and fat!!..It doesnt help when all my friends are stick thin and love munchin junk food and the family is the same! :(

But Insh'Allah ill get ther b4 my wedding in december :)

Re: Wedding in August..how to lose weight in a month!

hey agen!

I'm from the UK.. u? guess wot i had keema with a fork 4 lunch lol so funny wen i read ur comment tabu...add salad to it, tastes lovely...but im annoyed cos my mums making pizza for dinner- how the hell am i meant to resist that..so my diet is on hold til 2mor lol i have to say cut down on roti- i totally dont eat it, its better to have a slice of bread.

cambridge diet- look it up on the net, u hv to go to ur docs & see if ur allowed to go on the diet cos it is pretty hard...but it gvs results...if not weightwatchers is good too- but slower results

personally i think that all the girls getting married shud b enjoying their last month of not being married & how the hell can we do that without food...life is so dull without it lol so girls lets no b to hard on ourselves, i mean we've got a guy thats all that matters! x

Some useful tips........

Remember [size=2]nutrition is 90% of the equation, and working out is 10%!![/size]
[size=2][/size]
[size=2]*Always workout on empty stomach - i find first thing in the morning the best time. *
[/size]
Eat five-six smaller sized snack meals daily every two-three hours

  • Eat a portion of protein in every meal

  • Eat a portion of carbs in the first five meals of the day leaving meal 6 protein only

  • Add a portion of vegetables to two or three of your meals

  • Drink water throughout the day at least 6-10 glasses daily

  • Do not eat carbs or snack before bedtime

  • Do not workout within 45 minutes of eating food

  • Plan and prepare meals in advance

  • Using healthier cooking methods, grilling, steaming or oven baking

  • Avoid fast or processed foods, including microwave meals.

  • Monitor your progress, keep a training and nutrition diary. Be sure to print off ours.

  • As a general rule of thumb, meal sizes should be no bigger than your clenched fist

  • Stick to fiberous carbs and low glycemic carbs and all other foods in our recommended lists

  • Mix things up, avoid eating the same thing day in day out

-If eating out look for healthier options, any meal with poultry, fish or meat is good

  • Stick to the plan. Don't give up, remember diet accounts for 80% of your success

Re: Wedding in August..how to lose weight in a month!

Here's what I do.
I'm getting married in Jan '09. I live in the US and am going to pak in november.
I drink room temp lemon water each morning.
Go to the gym 4 times a week.
- aerobics
- kick boxing
- muscle toning etc
- have a good, hearty breakfast
- Have replaced lunch with a bowl if cereal. With some kinda fruit in it. Usually bananas.
- I have dinner BEFORE 8pm. Since I dont sleep before 12:30-1:00AM
For dinner I have anything I want or whatever's cooked. BUT I have half of what I would eat. Portion control!
EAT EAT EAT. Just half of what you would normally eat with my 4 days of gym.
I'm all ripped and cut right now and cant wait to get to pak!
woot woot!

Re: Wedding in August..how to lose weight in a month!

I'll tell you one VERY effective way- every morning before eating or drinking anything, take one glass of WARM water, add honey and lemon to it and then drink it. It works 100 percent. If you want, you can do it twice a day also.

35

Awwww... no no! Dont be depressed baby! hugs
See, I'm such a slacker and I got my mom to hit the gym with me....ok ok fine..i'll admit it... it was actually SHE who got me to hit the gym with her. Now I'm so pumped, I cant get enough...
The best thing is to get a partner. Tell your partner to kick u in the ass and motivate you no matter what. They wont lose sight of the final goal even if u do once you see a piece of fried chicken:(
good luck!!!!!

36

hey tabu b, :-) the quickest way to lose weight is drink warm water with lemon, and then lunchtime eat salad and at dinner time eat salad with boiled chicken. and avoid other stuff.

Some tips that helped me personally.

Drink 4 liters of water everyday - it will be little uncomfortable at first but the best way is to take 500ml water bottle and count the number of times you drink it . Have atleast one bottle before breakfast preferable warm.

Eat nothing sweet no cookies , no chocolates, no smoothies. You can eat yoplait yoghurt if u crave something sweet . Also fruits help

Stock healthy snack ie wheat thins , raisins , 100 calories packs , quakers rice cakes

Don't feel too starved at anypoint so keep eating small meals

Make healthy choices when eating out, for fast food eateries like au bon pain and subway are good .

Eat good protiens like egg whites, fish and tofu

If you cant resist desi food , try cooking your own food with low oil e.g dal with roasted tadka , steamed and spiced veggies , oven baked chicken as opposed to salans.

*Calorie count your food and try to stick to 1000 -1500 cals / day
*
In fruits choose grapes , watermelon , oranged as opposed to mangoes and banana

Its also important ot be strong and toned esp at problem areas like abdomen and arms so** working out is a must

**If you hate the gym try
running out in the open
cycling
tennis
swimming
Doing abs at home
Hope this wasn't too overwhelming . Good luck

Re: Wedding in August..how to lose weight in a month!

Join weight watchers (online if you can't go to meetings) and it shall help you a lot. I had plateaued my weight and then lost 6 and a half lbs the first week it self. They have a buff brides section too where you should get advice. Its not that expensive and they are in the UK too.

Re: Wedding in August..how to lose weight in a month!

Hows the weight loss going guys?

I am so focused right now cos i know i dont have long to go (October)!

I can see feel my trousers getting looser and my weight has dropped.

everything mentioned above probably works, but really depends on ur body and how ur body loses weight...

for me the only thing that will work is calorie counting.....every single thing i eat, i've been watching coz my wedding's in august, IA.....i lose a steady few pounds each week and not eating after 7 pm.....thats the only thing that works for me....
