I just booked my venue for October 2022. I am very excited but want to lose weight to be comfortable on my wedding day. I put on some weight during the pandemic and I am about 40lbs over my comfort weight. Anyone follow a plan that worked for them?

I find tracking calories through an app like MyFitnessPal, while focusing on moderation and hitting my calorie goals, versus cutting out any particular foods works really well. Also, set a goal calorie deficit that has you losing weight gradually over time. Best of luck to you! ❤️

It’s more about healthy habits than strict restriction. I try to just eat more veggies when I can (like mindlessly snacking on mini carrots while I’m deciding what to eat for lunch) and exercising when I don’t feel like it.

I’ve started a plan in May and lost 4 lbs (net of muscle gain), I know it’s not very drastic (I only plan to lose 15lbs altogether) but here is what I do for reference.
Diet: I’ve cut out sugar, carbs and alcohol by about 80%. It’s not a very restrictive no carb diet, i don’t worry much about carbs in fruits, veggies or cereals, etc. Basically I cook protein and veggies for dinner, and pass on pasta, rice, potato or bread. I’ve also cut out processed food and high fat protein by about 90%, which means I have salmon, turkey, tofu or chicken for protein. We indulge in small portions on the weekend.
Workout: it’s not very structured, just try to be active for a bit everyday, it could be taking a long walk, or a quick run, then add some sort of weight or resistant training 2 to 3 times a week.

Sounds like a healthy plan!

Intermittent fasting. I do the 16:8 one. Fast 16 hours, eat for 8. 12:30-8:30pm. Good luck!

I think finding an exercise that is fun for you helps. I've had a few friends that have had a lot of success with F45 type exercises. I did a low carb diet and started running. If you can swing it - I'd suggest working with a trainer or nutritionist for the best results / making sure you are doing everything in a healthy way.

I did about a month of noom (before full price kicked in) which gave me a few nice lessons as a starting point. I drink a lot of water, try to eat a lot of protein, and try to watch my caloric intake.
I was also working out 5 days a week but I wound up with a stress fracture in my hip so I’m stuck on crutches for the next 8 weeks. Trying to lose weight without cardio is zero fun.

Was a little sticker shocked $200 per person before gratuity, just adds up quickly with that many people😬 Not requiring it but wanted to offer it if they want to be more glammed up, but now seeing online that’s it’s considered quite rude to not cover it for them? Maybe just cover one and they can do the other if they want? Don’t want to be rude if it’s expected but also don’t want to blow our budget… any perspective on the “norm” appreciated!
