Fitting in to my promdress


Question Posted Saturday April 29 2006, 5:30 am

Ok, so prom is in 40 days and I need to fit in/ look gorgeous in my prom dress.

Question is; Is it possible to loose weight in 40 days?

If so, How much weight will I be able to loose?

I already eat healthy and walk for 20 minutes each day, I do crunches and sit-ups.

What else will I need to add to lose weight in a month or so?

Thank you for helping.

THere is a lot of ways you could lose wight. Belive it or not 40 days is a lot of time. you can try the 3 day diet. Look it up on the internet and get the recipe from google. Or you can get it at 3daydiet.net. This diet has only 1000 calories per day. that plus a light workout works wounders trust me. It really works. and it is easy and you probably have the recipe in your house already. This diet makes you lose 10 pounds in only 3 days. I know it sounds crazy but it is really works. I lost 20 pounds in 2 weeks because I had to fit in a bathing suit last summer. I have to be honest you will feel hungry so get an appettite depresant nothing expensive. (drug store stuff). You only have to go on it for 3 days at a time but don't over eat on the days that you are not on it. You will lose 40 ponds in 30 days. Try it and tell me how it goes.

hi well first off i bet ur looking forward to your prom, i knw i am mine is in a few weeks as well so i know how you feel. You can still loose pleanty of weight in 40 days but you need 2 remember to do it healthly and that way your skin will look gr8 and ur hair too! Dont try these 'loose weight quick!' kind of diets because you will just put the weight straight bak on. If you loose the weight healthily it is average to loose 1-2lbs a week so in 40 days you should have lost around 10 lbs. It all depends upon the amount of weight you want to loose and your current weight because everybody's metablosim is different. You should maybe try and write a fitness and diet plan that you can stick to and mnitor the amount of weight you have lost. Also, you could set yourself realistic targets of the amount of weight you want to loose in a day or a week. Another suggestion is going for longer walks and start jogging or cycling as these help you to get trim and improve your heart. You could also join the gym but its not a necesity. Remember to eat pleanty of fruit and veg and drink loadsa water as it washes toxins out of your body which may lead to the build up of fat and it improves your skin. Grapefruit, lemon and greentea speed up the metabolism which means your body will be able to digest food more effectivley and not as much will be stored as fat.

Gud luk and hope you hav a gr8 time at your prom.

Hope i have helped,
kerry x

it's definately possible to lose weight in 40 days. a lot of people can lose weight in 2 weeks. you have more than enough time. there's not a certain amount of weight you can do, it juss depends how hard you work for it. basically, if you put your mind to it, you can do anything. the best way to do it, is to do it healthy. that way the weight won't come back. im going to break things down in sections so its easier to understand and read. sorry if it's a lot.

-meals.
obviously, meals are an important part. for breakfast, you should eat pretty much. why? because you slept that whole night without food. if you skip breakfast, your body goes into starvation mode. it doesn't burn off calories. you'll either gain weight er stay the same weight. i'd suggest either cereal, toast, er fruit for breakfast. you can't juss eat yogurt. there has to be substance. the best thing you can do is eat special k er a cereal like that with fruit. if you don't like cereal, maybe try eating an apple & a yogurt er something. i know you have school & stuff so it'll probably be difficult to make a good breakfast. try getting portable foods such as fruit & something with substance. eat all 3 meals, & try eating healthy snacks when you get hungry. if you eat fruit er crackers er something every 3 hours its suppose to help speed up your metabolism. also try not eating after 7pm, because then it sits in your stomach. make sure your dinner is good so you don't get hungry later.

-exercise.
more important than eating right, you need to exercise. this isn't mean you should turn into a triathelete & over do it. juss do something. weight lift, run, jog, situps, crunches, etc. to start, try jogging/running 10 minutes a day. 20 if you're feeling good. don't over do it. also, make sure you drink lots of water. it'll keep you hydrated & it helps you wash out bad food you don't need. it helps you lose weight too. try doing crunches with weights. meaning grab a some sort've weight. maybe a medicine ball. those are the ones that weigh 2-5 lbs er w/e. if not, then do good crunches. don't overdo it & make sure if you do do a weight you can handle it.

-mind.
if you keep yourself motiviated you can't go wrong. you can have your family & friends help you too.

have fun at the prom & keep your mind to it. try sticking with doing it the healthy way.

-hope that helped!♥
