I need to lose 5-10 pounds in 4 weeks?????

Hi Ladies!!! So here's my dilemma........I had my first dress fitting last night and my dress fit almost perfect. The only problemis it's a little tight on top causig my fat...lol...to show a bit . The seamstress and Bridal consultant advised me to try to lose 5-10 pounds and it will be perfect. I'm getting married June 19 and My 2nd dress fitting is June 10 so that gives me approx 4 weeks to drop and tone up. Any suggestions or workout videos to tone upper body and lower you tried that worked? I really have no time to workout at a gym.Please help!!

On the bright side,,,,,,while at the bridal salon last night the conultant showed me a new line of dresses they sell "LOVE by Enzoani" she showed me the most beautiful dress so I couldn;t help myself and had to try it on.....It was perfect and I loved it. Since I have 3 weddings this summer not including my own my mother surprised me and told the consultant to measure me, check if we can have it back before Aug 21. The consultant said no problem and my mom ordered it for me....."Thanks sooo Much MOM!!!! I love it....only thing is I ordered the dress in the picture shown in that exact colour...anyone that knows me knows I always order dresses in Black and already have a few in my wardrobe. The consultant and my mother convienced me to order this colour, What do you think of the colour and what colour heels would you wear with this?

Thanks Ladies......I'll keep u posted on the wedding dress and weight loss.

First; Eat less and healthyier I lost 5 pounds in a week and a half by doing that - make sure you have portions. I used the new Mayo Clinic Diet.
Second; I love that color, I think it's a great color. Spices things up a little.

Some people will say not to do it, but low carb always works for me especially if I am feeling bloated I won't eat carbs for a week and I feel so much better.
Also....lots and lots of water. It will make you shed water weight.
And if you put lemon juice in your water it is even more beneficial.

Also, try just doing 30 min to 1 hour of walking/jogging per day OUTDOORS. You will see results within the first week.

It's not a good way to keep weight off long term, but a low-carb diet (like the south beach) has dropped pounds quickly for me. and I'm like you, no time for the gym...so the 30 Day Shred dvd by Jillian Michaels is perfect. It's about $10 at most stores & it's only 20 minutes. Great toning exercises!

i second what the other brides said:
- drink TONS of water
- low carb, smaller portions
- and 30 day shred is nuts but it works!

Eat a small dinner. If you eat more earlier in the day and eat a smaller (like half sized) dinner than normal, you will lose some weight. Also, drink water and move around as much as possible. If you have a desk job, tap your feet or wiggle your legs to burn a few calories here and there.
