Weight Loss Tips for Wedding Dresses 2

Follow the 25-25-50 rule - Your lunch and dinner plates should be filled with 25% lean protein (chicken, fish, or turkey), 25% whole grains (brown rice or quinoa are perfect), and 50% leafy vegetables.

If you're looking for a diet supplement that will jump-start your weight loss and show you the results you need to be confident in your succeed then we recommend a mild formula that will act as an appetite suppressant and give you extra energy for your workouts. Some of our favorites include: Slimvox, IrvingiAppress, and OxyElite Pro.

 

Step Three: Exercise

If you're not used to being active or exercising at all going to the gym can be intimidating. You can start at home though and get up early before work to walk for 30 minutes or buy a pair of dumbbells and start doing bicep curls and flys in your living room. Ideally, you should be working out 3-5 times (or maybe 6 if you're really serious) per week and lifting weights 2-4 times per week to get in shape.

Weight lifting is an important part of weight loss because as you lift and increase your amount of lean muscle mass, your body will be able to burn more calories throughout the day and especially as you workout. Lifting won't turn you into the incredible hulk, but rather will tone your muscles so that as you lose weight they'll begin to show and look more defined.

 

Decide what parts of your body are going to show in your dress and focus on these areas. Do you have a strapless dress and need toned arms? Is your dress a mermaid cut and you need tight gluts and thighs? Is it a sheath and you need a flat stomach? Or is it backless and you need to work your lats?

Here are some good exercises for these individual areas:

• Arms: bicep curls and behind the head tricep raises (with a 3-8 lb weight)

• Hamstrings: squats

• Glutes: squats and leg lifts from all-fours

• Calves: calf raises on a step or platform

• Abs: the bicycle is good for obliques, and leg lowers and lifts are good for lower abs (while lying on your back)

• Back: do standing rows with light weights for a toned upper back and superman lifts (while lying on your stomach) for your lower back

 

Yes, these are brief but they'll give you an idea of what muscle groups you need to work to shape a body your guests will be envious of.

Step Four: Walk Down the Isle

After a few weeks of putting these ideas into practice you'll be able to develop healthy and sustainable habits that you can carry with you past your big day and on into your marriage. Getting in perfect wedding shape is hard work and is not for the faint-hearted, but if you follow these steps, lose weight, and look lean and toned then you'll be confident on your wedding day and will be grateful when you look back through your photo albums.
