Instructions

• 1

  Drink at least 64 ounces of water every day. Add low-calorie flavoring, such as Crystal Light, to the water to improve the taste. When you are on-the-go, heading to dress fitting and rehearsal dinners, bring along a bottle of flavored water to resist grabbing a can of soda.

• 2

  Consume the healthy foods you love. If you are a fan of apples and oranges, eat these every day in place of your usual bedtime snack.

• 3

  Exercise at least 30 to 45 minutes, five days a week. This includes high-impact cardio or visit an aerobics class after work. If you cannot fit these daily workouts in, find creative ways to get your heart pumping. For instance, if you have a day of errands to run for the wedding, put your car keys away and jump on your bicycle instead.

• 4

  Remove all the temptation foods and liquids from your home, including alcohol. Make a pact with your fiancée to only eat at home for the four months before the wedding. Hide any take-out menus and prepare healthy dinners the two of you can enjoy together. This will not only help you lose weight it will also save money that you can put toward the wedding.

• 5

  Avoid stress eating. Planning a wedding is a hectic, stressful time, which leads many to find comfort in food. Find different ways to relieve the stress from the wedding, such as talking to a good friend on the phone or playing fetch with your dog in the park.

• 6

  Cut approximately 300 to 500 calories from your diet every day. This will involve skipping a cup of iced coffee in the morning, eating only half your lunch and replacing a fattening meal with a healthy, low-fat salad.

• 7

  Enjoy the food and liquor at any pre-wedding parties in moderation. Remember your new healthy eating habits during any bridal showers, rehearsal dinner and the bachelorette party. Have fun and enjoy these festivities, but eat sweets and consume liquor in smaller amounts to keep your weight loss goals on track.
