Eight weeks until I get married- possible weight loss?

Getting married in 8 weeks 🥳

I'm only buying my dress two weeks before the wedding as it's just a registry office affair. I want to do an 8 week diet of 1250 calories a day and two exercise classes a week. Currently 10 stone 10lb (5'7). If I manage to keep my calories at 1250, what can I realistically expect to lose in 8 weeks? I started yesterday Blush thank you!

That sounds very low calorie. Why not find a dress that fits well and enjoy the run up to your wedding day...it's only a day

You will also be grumpy as heck, you won’t enjoy the run up to your wedding, most likely get breakouts and the weight loss won’t be sustainable. And at 10,7 you are hardly grossly overweight.

It's because all of my weight sits on my stomach so it's to try and shift the tummy fat. I'm 10 10, not 10.7

I can recommend the New You Plan - incredibly low calorie meals / snacks but high protein. I am on week two and haven't been hungry but feel really well in myself. Definately feel clothes loose but I haven't weighted myself. Apparently averages 1stone per month on the plan

Have a look at the Nutracheck app (they do 7 day free trial) I think it generally set up other way round where you put target weight/amount you want to lose per week and date to reach weight thenb it tells you how much to eat per day in calories .

Individuals weight loss is very different, I have to go lower calorie than that and more exercise to get my body to part with any fat.

I am doing petronella rabencourt human being diet. I’m same height as you. Lost 2.7kg in 1st week (starting weight 70) and my stomach is really really flat! (That is not normal for me ). I anticipate in 8 weeks I will lose another 3-5 kg
