recommend your quick, but safe, way to lose weight/inches

vedwards · May 2012

My SIL is getting married next week (Thursday) and I had to order my bridesmaid dress in January in order for it to come in on time. The dress is here - but it doesn't fit! I ordered the size I tried on in the store, which is two sizes larger than what I wore pre-pregnancy. I don't know what I should do!

I'm going to try drinking water only except for at lunch (when I need that caffeine kick), no sweets, and stepping up the walking to jogging again.

If you have any safe suggestions to lose inches around the belly/hip area quickly I'll gladly take them! I do nurse DD but at this point she is majority formula fed because I never quite made enough to EBF (although I tried!). I hope whatever I do doesn't mess with the little bit of milk I do make for her.

TIA!

I was gonna say cut the carbs to about 20/day and you will drop it FAST, but I don't think that would be good for your supply at all! Carbonation in soft drinks does bloat you though so your plan may work! And of course, if all else fails, buy some Spanx! They are lifesavers!!

GL!

Its gross but prep H rub it on thick and then wrap yourself with plastic wrap. It tightens it all up for a day or 2. There are also all of these wrap ads I keep seeing on facebook. MIL tried it and said it works but I dont think I will ever trust her (she thought the feeding tube diet was the best idea ever)..

Uh, nothing you mentioned sounds safe. See about letting the dress out a bit.

Let me clarify: while doing all those things, eating a healthy balance of meat, vegetables, fruit, and bread

and I'll still drink milk in the morning

spanx - Yes! I've heard they work wonders!

interesting about the Prep H. Do you know if it has a distinct smell that others would know what it is when I walk past them down the aisle?

After you are wrapped up for a couple hours or over night you can shower to wash all of the cream off and cant smell it. It was a trick recruiters used to help people pass tape tests to get into the military.

let the dress out as much as you can and get a great pair of Spanx. NOT the off brands, they just aren't as good. Spanx do wonders.

Juice fast.

Netflix - Fat, Sick & Nearly Dead - great movie. Or www.jointhereboot.com

My mom just did this fast for 3 days and lost 8 pounds. If you did this for a week you'd lose a dress size or two. The first 2 days suck but it is safe and probably the healthiest way to lose fast.
