Honestly there are several people on here giving very excellent answers. However, i think, given your painfull joints, it would be a very good idea to hire a personal trainer at your local gym. It is extremely important to do any exersice program with good form or else you could injure yourself, this is true for highly trained athelets too.\n\nI suspect you have not been to a gym for some time now, i assure you, the vast majority of them are not like the ones on old with all the muscle heads in there. Everyone nowadays has lots of respect for everyone in there becuase of the desire for self improvement. Trust me 85 percent of the gyms out there are compfortable for all ages and sizes.\n\nThere is also the option of having in home training where the fitness trainer will actually come to your home with all the equipment needed.\n\nGo for it, i tell you, you can do it but it will take a little time.

one thing to remember about losing weight that close to your wedding, what about the alterations for your gown?  will there be time?  instead of having your heart on losing that weight, why not just concentrate on eating healthy and going for brisk walks.  it'll make you feel good about yourself, whether the weight comes off or not.  and it'll give you that glowing look for your big day.  good luck!!

The healthy way of losing weight is at only 2.5 - 4 kgs/month. Anything beyond this is unhealthy. If your goal is to look good and feel great and do this for even the next "parties or get together", then I woudl suggest you do it the healthy way. To do this, you need to drink plenty of water. The prescribed is 8 to 10 glasses of water but if you can drink 10 - 15 glasses a day that is good as it hastens your metabolism and flushes out toxins from your body. Another is to do exercise or do a lot of house work requiring exertion of effort to get you sweating. Try to spead your usual three meals to six small meals. Cut down or eliminate burgers, fries, and softdrinks!\n\nWhen that family event comes, suggest you dress in dark colors or stripes to accentuate lenght and not width (or girth).\n\nHope this helps you.

Stop worrying about the actual weight you lose, you want to tone up and shed as much fat as possible.\n\nEat properly, small meals at least 5 times a day... low fat, high protein, low (not no) carbs, whole grains, lots of veggies.\n\nCut out all alchohol.\n\nDrink a lot of water, it, as well as the mini meals will boost your metabolism.\n\nWork out ... and with your cardio and weights.. do pilates, they will sculpt your body faster than just about anything, in combination with cardio.

Your body will never be as beautiful as you want it to be...no one's ever is!  If you get a good exercise program, you can tone up and some gyms can offer a personal trainer to help you.  As you age, your body changes its shape whether you like it or not. Stop looking at all the magazines in the check out counter, they are not realistic.  Look at the people around you that are your age.  Don't ruin your body by being bulimic, it's not worth it.  Enjoy yourself.  Do you have a support group you can join? That could be great help for you.  I am a Nurse Practitioner in Family Practice, and this is the advice I give a lot of the gals that are struggling for the "hour glass" figure! Find a BMI chart and strive for a healthy BMI of about 22-24. (BMI is calculated by dividing height in inches by weight in pounds by weight in pounds X 703, which is why you're better off with a chart.)

cannot lose more than 2-3lbs/week safely.\n\nTake before/after photos, at one week or one month intervals.\n\nThe changes will be subtle, so daily mirror checks will be disapointing.

Eat several (4-6) small meals a day...your body will burn calories faster and build your metabolism in a short period of time.\n(eat about every 2 hours)\nThe first 8-10 pounds you shed is water.\nMeal suggestions:\n1st: piece of fruit\n2nd: string cheese, summer sausage, cottage cheese/yogurt\n3rd: bowl of cereal\n4th: soup/sandwich\n5th: a good dinner-meat, potatoes/pasta/rice, veggie...your body needs carbs, protein and vitamins to stay healthy\n6th: salad/raw veggies\nDrink plenty of water \nDrink milk or juice/water with every meal (no soda pop)\nStay away from munchies, fried & fatty foods.\nDo simple exercise like walking/hiking...swimming and biking are low impact, playing baseball, basketball, volleyball will tone your body and you'll have fun doing it.

Eat smaller portions. You have to think about this seriously, imagine you and your perfect figure in your head and let it stick or else you'll just indulge! I never thought of weight loss in a healthy fashion, so if you don't either, be motivated by what you can fit into later on. The best exercise I can suggest (am i getting a little too into this?) is standing and holding on to your husbands hands, and bending 5-10 times a day. Add on 5 more every day. Good Luck!

I think in the face is the first most noticeable place a person will show that they are losing weight. YEs it defenetly will thin out.

using a razor or a homewaxing kit or getting a brazillian bikini wax. or using produces like nair/veet and such. use a mirror to see wear you are moving about bend your knees and spred legs far apart to reach all hair. gross but you need to feel around to see where you've missed.

You can run your butt off. Try a fat burner. Or you can eat a butt load of protein and start lifting, it will take a long time but muscle will start filling out the skin, but the skin will also shrink.Congrats on losing the weight too!!!
