Help! I need to lose weight in 3 days!!

hollynikolle

I was married at a destination wedding 2 weeks ago and I guess I over induged on my honeymoon.  I gained 3 pounds and my wedding dress is too tight now!  It still zips, but it pinches my back together a little and is very uncomfortable.  I have my at home reception on Saturday ( 3 days from today) and I desperately need to lose a few pounds and some water weight so I  can wear my dress again!  Any suggestions?  I have been eating a lot of bad foods and drinking soda, so first thing I'm doing is drinking TONS of water!!

Lots of water, cut out salt/sodium and processed foods and if you work out, get a couple good sweaty cardio sessions in.

go no carbs.  crash diets are usually bad news bears, but i would say, no carbs, fruits and veggies, lots and LOTS of exercise!!!

Yeah you def need to sweat off/burn off those extra calories you consumed.  Seriously I would jump on the treadmill and run at the speed of 7.0 and if you get tired after a couple minutes than walk at 4.0 or something... but running at the 7.0 even ifs it not for the entire duration of your run will help you burn lots of calories as opposed to running for an hour at 3.5 or something.... u will see results faster.. more intensity = faster results.. and also I agree cut out all salt, sugar, condiments.. avoid fatty dairy like cheese ..... just eat grilled chicken and veggies like zuccini.. and run run run or any cardio.. 3 lbs is not bad at all and its just a number on a scale like you said water weight.. and it should come off no problem if you seriously push yourself.. u need that dress to fit lol

I agree with pp, do as much cardio as you can- walk everywhere, don't sit just keep moving. Keep meals very lean, and drink a ton of water and keep any sodium out of your diet.

There are foods that can help diminish bloating which may help with a short-term loss of water weight.  Try foods with potassium like watermelon and asparagus along with lots of water and very low sodium over the next few days.  Also dandelion tea can help with bloat (although I've never tried it so I don't know how it tastes).

I learned this all in an article on Yahoo inspired by Jillian Michaels.  I've never actually tried any of it since I don't buy into temporary weight loss gimmicks but it sounds like you really need it to fit into your dress this weekend.  GL!

I recommend Bikram Yoga. It's not everyone's cup of tea, but it's fantastic for shedding pounds. Drink lots and lots of water!

THIS exactly.

you could do a full fledged cleanse.  Usually they are like 3 days of pooping, water and no solids...and sweat it off!
