I neeeeed to lose 3 stone! HELP!!!

[happyhappymummy]

Im going on a 3 night hol to Spain with 15 women. I know 3 of them.
Im really really panicking now as Im a single mum of 3 and have lots of stretch marks. No confidence with my body what so ever! Most of these women do not have children and have lovely curvy bodies, even the ones with children do.
I have about 3 stone to lose and the holiday is in 10 weeks.
Is this possible? I know a way and thats the cambridge??
Or healthy eating and exercise??
I dont think I will lose it my healthy eating and exercise though :( so maybe the cambridge?
OOOOHHH I dont know what to do. I dont want to go if I dont get to goal I will feel uncomfortable.
Any suggestions? Miracles maybe??

when is holiday?

And may I recommend my fitness pal - helping me no end - but not a quick fix by any means

stop fretting.
enjoy the holiday

I'm afraid it would be very difficult if not impossible to lose 3 stone in 10 weeks - but you could lose half of that - a stone and a half - quite easily and in a healthy way if you start now. Surely it would make you feel better to be that much lighter when you go and you will avoid baggy skin and looking ill which will be the inevetable consequence of VLC/starving yourself in the meantime. I have 4.5 stone to lose and reckon with the best will in the world it will take me til christmas - all my own fault.

You should be proud of your stretchmarks, they show you've had babies! Not the end of the world... I know how you feel though, I had 4 stone to lose post DS and joined WW, I have now lost my first stone (6 weeks) and I've found it quite easy to follow, and nice food too. My advice is to go on the diet, but also go shopping for a good swimming cossie that suits your size and shape (I got one from Primarni!!!) and some nice outfits that aren't trying to compete with the other girls, something that makes you look (and feel) nice. They will have enough hang ups about their own bodies, they won't be judging you!

Don't think like that just chill baby

Yes, be sure to buy some really nice clothes that flatter you just before you go away - and be proud of the amount of weight you lose sensibly before then. Yes, long term it is important to lose the weight to be healthy, short term it is very important to enjoy your holiday!
