Is this possible....
I have a wedding to go to in 3 weeks. I found a dress that I really want to wear, but they don't have it in my current size for petites. This isn't a dress that can be altered either.
Do you think if I really busted my butt I could lose another size in 3 weeks? What should I be doing to try and achieve that? I already run 3x a week and do 1 hour of cardio 3x a week as well. Every day I do weights for 3o mins.

Re: Is this possible....
when I started South Beach I lost 10 pounds in 2 weeks by doing the Phase 1. Is that enough weight?

I think so! I'm pretty sure that the difference between sizes is 10-12 lbs. Thank you, I'll try South beach!

Re: Is this possible....
I am going to be honest
if you are already losing weight
the most you are going to lose is 1 or 2 lbs per week
5 lbs is enough for me to drop a dress size- but I am short and I carry most of my weight in my lower body
if you weren't doing anything now- I think you could lose 10 lbs in 3 weeks
but since you are working out already- I think it's going to be tough
just my opinion- I would love for you to prove me wrong

Re: Is this possible....
Ok I'm totally not recommending this, but I know some people who do 7 or 10 day cleansing diets, like the Master Cleanse, that have lost weight. The weight loss is not permanent, and I've never done one before so I don't know how healthy it is for you and I have heard some criticisms of those types of "diets". But i've seen some posts from LIW from women who say they feel great after doing it.
Again, honestly, I don't want to recommend it to you, but I have heard of it and I'm just throwing it out there.

IMO I would try and find a new dress. It's really not worth torturing yourself or doing something unhealthy to fit into a smaller dress. It sounds like you are working hard already - I am sure you will look gorgeous no matter what you wear
