Ok so had my dress fitting this morning and she said my dress is about a size too small, yet It fitted me perfectly 4 weeks ago when I picked it up from the shop. I'm gutted. I have three weeks left and don't know what I'm supposed to do. She said she is going to let it out but she hasnt got much to work with to do that. Or put a bigger panel in the back?
I have three weeks left till I get married and have another fitting next week. I have an exercise bike that I will be on every night from now on, but has anyone got any tips that will work? I dont care if it takes drastic meassures and if i balloon up again after. I just need to get in my dress. x

aw huni :-( can imagine how you feel. the cereal diet (the cereal with the advert with the lady in the red swimming costume) is supposed to work really well, although when you stop you will put weight back on but if you're desperate its worth a go? xxx

a corset will make you lose those extra unwanted inches

try and cut down on food portion and drink as much water as you can. Bike will not help, trust me my OH goes to work by bike and all it's done is make his thigh bigger (muscle) but nothing change on bust or waist. Swimming is good for the whole body. There flabelos which are supposed to be really good help you lose one size clothing in something like 2 weeks.

My dress is corseted anyway? is that the same? I will have to try it not sure if things like the adios tablets work? I have read online that having nothing but fruit juice and water helps pretty quickly so may try that xx

CommentAuthorLegoWife
Any cardio will help you lose weight, you can't spot reduce, weight comes off where it feels like lol. Your thighs probably won't get bigger with muscle in two weeks, so I wouldn't worry about that too much.
Corset under a corseted dress will probably just make it look lumpy and be really uncomfortable so probably not the best solution.
Other body control underwear might help better and just try and stick to eating low cals in small amounts and drink loads so you don't feel too hungry.

CommentAuthorFitchMcCombe
you get these intensive diets, my mum did one a few years ago, you eat everything they say over the 4-5 day period and due to something in the chemical balance (so i was told) you can lose upto a stone in less than a week. I cant remember what it was called but my mum lost half a stone so maybe try searching online to find something like that? I would also recommend the cereal diet but when I did it I enhanced it by only eating my bowl of cereal in the morning, vegetable soups for lunch and dinner (practically nothing in them so you can fill your boots and definitely dont go hungry) and then fruit and veg if i felt the need for a snack. Worked for me but fingers crossed you find something for you - magic knickers are often a life savour! x

I posted that diet a few weeks ago.....and it definately works. as soon as you start eating properly again it will come back but just to get in that dress its a perfect solution. I will go look for it and bump it for you

CommentAuthorRaggedyAnne
Found it...
This diet is very safe, and is proven to work. It is a chemical breakdown diet, not meaning that you can’t eat, but the foods you eat, reacts together hence the weight loss. You must only follow this diet for THREE DAYS, you must not vary or substitute any of the foods, salt and pepper can be used, but no other seasoning,
Where quantity is not given, there are no restrictions other than common sense. Toast to be dry – no butter or margarine, tuna, string beans and beetroot can be frozen,
Saltine crackers are Tuc biscuits or Ritz biscuits.
You must drink 5 x 8oz – glasses of water each day.
FIRST DAY
BREAKFAST Black coffee/tea Half a grapefruit 1 lice of toast 2tsp peanut butter
LUNCH Black tea/coffee 4oz tuna 1 slice of toast
DINNER 2 slices of any cold meat 1-cup string beans 4oz beetroot 4oz vanilla ice cream (it doesn’t state it has to be low fat ice-cream, but that’s what my mum used)
SECOND DAY
BREAKFAST Black coffee/tea 1 egg Half a banana
LUNCH 4oz cottage cheese 5 saltine crackers
DINNER 2 hot dog sausages (the ones in the tin) 4oz broccoli 2oz carrots 4oz vanilla ice cream
THIRD DAY
BREAKFAST Black coffee/tea 5 saltine crackers 1 slice of cheddar cheese 1 small apple
It would be worth trying it out now to see how it works for you, then do it again 3-4 days before the wedding if it does...

CommentAuthorFuture mrs mac
You could try the britaish heart foundation diet (not recommended or endorsed by bhf) its a shortterm fix and the weight comes straight back on again but if only needed for the shortterm might suit you?x

Thanks all.
thanks anne ill give anything ago at the moment... would need to find something to swap tuna for though as i hate it lol x

Google the Harcombe diet-its very effective and quite easy to follow and whenever i have followed it i have lost about 7lb in the first 5 days and then after that up to 3 lbs per week xxx

The slim fast diet works for 2 weeks but as soon as you eat normally again the weight piles back on. I would never normally recommend it but you sound desperate Hun.

Ive doing the dunk diet on and off for the past 3 months now and I've lost nearly 3 stone! I'm 4 lb off! I lost a stone in my1st week! If I'd have stuck to it religiously I probably would get to my goal quicker! But I'm still losing nething from 3 - 7lb a week most weeks depending how good I am! Lol! Like looby-lu25 said u can pick up the book from most supermarkets or book stores! It's quite easy to follow to! Xxxx

It's the same concept as slimfast but I have tried slimfast and failed miserably as I was always hungry. They have a huge range compared to slimfast too. The basic idea is meal replacement shakes. the detox is 6 shakes a day for 3 days and then lots of water and their herbal tea. normal plan is 2 shakes, 2 snacks, 1 meal, lots of water and as much tea as you want. I have actually started selling it now as I have complete confidence in the products!

personally i wouldnt waste my money on milkshakes and potions....just eat lean clean food and cut out all things processed. Up your cardio each day and drink loads of water. Of course everyone is different - but ive been on this diet and i have lost alot of weight on it, i have also helped my bridesmaids (as they need to also get into their dresses) and one has lost almost a dress size in 2 weeks. good luck hun x
CommentAuthorgeordienic
I find that diet with the vibro plate doing pilates on it had made me loose 4 centimetres around my waist in a week. you probs need to get rid of size rather than weight.
CommentAuthorKarlie1987
I meant dukan! Lol! Autocorrect on my stupid phone! Sorry! Xxxxx
CommentAuthorLittle Kettle
I agree with Kev's Angel - up your cardio (if you do the bike thing, make sure you are 'spinning' rather than powering through though as thsi will up the cardio without turning your legs to boulders LOL!), portion control (but not so it will make you ill) and just have very lean, low (or non) fat foods and drink plenty of water and herbal teas. Good luck babe x

Have you heard of flabelous its like a power plate but strong 10 minutes on 1 is like an hour and a half in the gym the woman said to me if you use it 3 times a week you should drop a dress size in just over 2 weeks might be worth looking if there is one near by you x

tbh i'm not doing very well and am dreading tomorrow as i have to go back for another fitting. I havent had chance to stick to anyone thing in paticular and with two kids I never get time to eat at set times or have three proper times a day to eat. Then we've been away ALL weekend and only got home at 9:50pm tonight. So I know I cant do anything about the fitting tomorrow but i am going to cut out meals completly and just have fruit/juice/water for the next two weeks. I have done this before when I was at school and getting bullied so i know this can wrk for me hopefully it will work quickly too x
