Chunky and not Funky

Hi everyone I'm looking for some tricks/ (or maybe a prayer and a miracle at this point)hints because I am desperate.

I have been in denial about my weight for the longest time, I'm 34 mother of 2, 5'4 and currently weighing in at 12 stone 2lbs. Seeing as I've been such a long term resident in the denial camp I've used my children (one in double digits one in the toddler stage) as the reason I'm such a chunk and haven't done anything to address it.

HOWEVER in less than 2 months I'm going abroad for a wedding for the first time in a hundred years seeing family I haven't seen since before I popped out my little people and the the thought is genuinely making my already anxious self go into over drive. I know there are alot more issues in the world than a mum and her tum but my confidence is genuinely at rock bottom and I feel like the Trunchabold in every single item of clothing I have and haven't even attempted swim wear for the sheer ptsd it'll give me.

I kmow this is super unhealthy and it's only a short term fix but realistically in 2 months how much weight can I loose and how quickly is it achievable? I've cut out my beloved full fat coke, increased my exercise but im not seeing any difference. I'm finding at night I could genuinely demolish a family and their house I'm so hungry

Any tips would be gratefully accepted

1-2lb a week is recommended so you could lose around a stone in two months?

I agree, you could lose 2lb a week. You could also absolutely transform your shape if you start doing bootcamp style workouts with weights/kettlebells 3 times a week, along with hot/power yoga to keep you supple and maybe C25K. Start with 15 minute bodyweight workouts every other day and increase them to 20 then 30 mins then add weights. Loads and loads of free workouts on You Tube. Or you could hire a trainer if you have money.
