Look fabulous in a week

I would like to look fabulous for Friday and I just caught sight of myself and I definitely don't! I look bloated and tired. I plan to go low carb but is there any other fun tips? I do 15k steps a day but eat 1/3 olive loaf from the Coop each day too which might be contributing to this weight. It's first on the list to go....

Good luck tomorrow @Eesha

@Helpstopthepain thank you Smile. Nails and threading done, hair being sorted this morning plus I have done some low carbing this week which has made a huge difference to my stomach. I have a cold unfortunately but still excited. Hoping no last minute cancellation!

excited for you @Eesha! I hope you have a great time Grin

Have a great time! (I failed miserably on the carb free week....It was all going so well, then somehow a four pack of frangipan & cherry mince pies 'disappeared' on Tuesday, crumbs of shame on my jumper....Blush)

I'll start again Monday Grin

Have fun!! Steam out that cold 🥶 🤧!

@Creepypastard Grin oh we had McDonalds yesterday but the bulk of the week was replacing rice for cauliflower rice and also no delicious sourdough bread with my breakfast. I do feel loads better but miss the bread #slipperyslope

The water and diet may make you feel a bit better but in truth its not a quick fix with a week to go. With a week you need to focus on making the best of what you already have rather than trying to 'improve' so I'd say put your energies into finding an outfit that plays up the bits you're happy with and plays down those you're not, plus really great hair. The tiny improvement diet and water (unless you're very dehydrated) will make in week will be completely unnoticeable, though no harm in them if course. But hair and clothes are huge.
