I didn't realize just how many carbs and sugar I was putting into my body before, so just by significantly cutting back I already feel much better. I started doing the keto diet and limiting my carbs to under 50g a day. But for me, it is much more enjoyable and when it comes to calories burned over time, it is way more than cardio. So if you become too focused on the number on the scale, you may be doing more harm than good. I would also recommend weight training! I walk frequently and do some ab workouts also. Don't plan to do whole30 within a month of your wedding day. How long is 70 weeks. Having said that, it all depends on where you start and what your goal is. Reintroducing foods and alcohol can make your stomach upset for the first couple of weeks after whole30. So you may not be losing the number of pounds that you want, but you might be losing inches!

On a much less extreme note, cut out drinking anything except for water and black coffee. And start adding self-care like massages, bubble baths, meditation, etc. I would likewise prefer to lose that amount and my wedding is also that many days away, and honestly, with the amount I eat currently and how much I exercise... Losing more than that is absolutely possible, but it usually results in more drastic adjustments to your calorie intake and exercise levels, which typically are not sustainable long term. With your timeline, it is certainly possible to lose that much, but it may not be enjoyable or sustainable. If you've already adjusted your movement and nutrition start looking at lifestyle and habits. I did a 6 week fitness/nutrition challenge and lost 6. How many weeks in 70 days from. If you have super unhealthy habits and are drastically overweight, improvements to diet and exercise might result in more like 2-3 pounds of weight loss per week at the beginning, and slower taper off as you reach a more ideal weight. I don't think it's possible *for me*.
If you're already down to the bare bones calorie and exercise wise, there's not so much you can do. Keep in mind stress is generally counterproductive to weight loss. No drinking calories. I by no means do this perfectly lol, I've actually only been doing it for a week so far. I eat really well during the week and only have alcohol or takeout on the weekends.
I've already done all those things, so there's not much more I can cut. Push-ups, sit-ups, planks during commercials at night and set goals and improve. How many months are in 70 days. Depending on your current weight and lifestyle adjustments, it will be difficult but not impossible. If you have those things you can just cold turkey give up (which would be really, really hard, for sure! ) Start whole30 60 days in. It would just be too depressing to live that way, even if it was only for 70 days. HOWEVER, my clothes fit better and I can tell certain parts of my body are more defined--muscle takes up less "space" than fat.
Why do you "need" to drop 10-15 pounds to feel confident? I know all of this probably sound frivolous and unrelated but the goal with all of this is to get your body functioning more optimally so that everything your doing with your nutrition and exercise becomes more effective. You need time to adjust. Then you've got a much higher likelihood of being able to achieve it. Practice eating slowly which will also lower cortisol levels but also help you digest more efficiently. 15 would be difficult and stressful. The generally acceptable amount of weight to lose per week is 0.

Focus on healthy habits that sustain your body AND mind, like drinking plenty of water, avoiding excess sugar, eating plenty of fresh foods especially vegetables, getting adequate sleep, and moving your body throughout the day (as opposed to just doing a workout and then remaining sedentary for the rest of the day). If you find yourself getting stressed, remind yourself that 10-15 pounds makes absolutely zero difference in your self-worth. It will reset your body and you should see a drop in weight. It is super hard, but I'm down 3.
