Well, first of all, I don't think its possible to loose that much weight in so short time. I lost 15 kilos this year, and hell, it was really f***ing hard.

I don't want to start telling you the bad sides of loosing weight so quickly, because I know how extremely awesome it feels. But, just for the record, you will have to be constantly, ALWAYS, thinking of food, what to eat, what not to eat, HOW to make it, how much calories it has, looking at the backsides of food packages all the time. It is worth it, though.

What I did was: -I got into a gym. A good one though, there you get a check up every six weeks to see your progress, and depending on how good or bad it goes, your routine is changed by a pro. I go to World Gym, I don't know where you live or if there is one near you, but that is one hell of a good gym.

- I went vegetarian. The only prblem with this is: You don't get much protein, and you really need it. See, if you don't consume proteins (im not sure about the spelling) your body will store the fat, and use your muscle tissue for obtaining energy. The issue here is that your muscles, even if you're not using them, they burn calories and fat. So if you are not doing any sports, your body will use up your muscle instead of fat and you will burn even less calories. So I eat a LOT of eggs instead. At least one a day and then lots of low fat yoghurt.

-Do not eat junk food. For nothing in the world. No chips, no deep fried sh!t, NOTHING. No burgers, no tacos, nothing. Instead, eat CALORIE BURNING FOOD. For example apples. A big apple has about 90 kcal. Digesting (in general) takes the body 90 kcal. So you get all vitamins and stuff you need, but the calories you consume you use them to digest that same apple. So just stick to fruit, no bananas though.

-Try to avoid bread and other famous carbs. Carbs are EVIL.

-My rule this year was: Big breakfast (one or two eggs, if fried, without fat, maybe a toast (avoid white bread, more carbs) with some low fat cheese (for the proteins) and lots of fruit. Watermelon, Papaya, Apples, Pears... You have endless options), and all other meals small (VERY small), no food after 6pm.

-And last but not least (I hope you read all of that... :P ) just cheer yourself up. At some point you will get insane cravings, just try to not let them touch you. Think of your beautiful dress, and you will make it. I'm sure you will. Its a matter of wanting it badly enough.

Loosing weight feels amazing. I hope you reach your goal! Good luck :)

I think you should really go to a nutritionist or doctor, none of us are qualified to give that advice.

In general, the key is to work out more, eat less.

Cut out white flour. Cut out cheese. Eat lean meat and proteins like chicken, turkey (esp white meat), fish.

Avoid oil. Avoid fried foods.

Cut out all candy and other junk food.

The more raw foods the better

Eat a lot of vegetables and fruits

Watch out for sauces

Work out 5 times a week, do a lot of cardio but switch machines, also do some weights.

I am losing weight now by walking and eating right. I am now up to a 4 mile walk per day and eating 1500 calories a day. In addition to the 1500 calories, I can eat as many vegetables as I want. It seems to be working. I have lost 20 pounds in 2 months though I still have a ways to go.

Eating right is the best help -- no fatty, sugary food and easy on the carbs. No fast food, fried food either. Also stay away from alcohol and desserts. (I hate this part!) Anyway I feel better and look better but need to continue for 4 more months.

You can do the same. The first 2-3 weeks are the most difficult. After that, it gets easier.

Do P90X, you'll be in the best shape of your life by then.
