By Ricardo d Argence

For many people a wedding is going to be one of the best times in their lives, they are going to be happy, and they are going to enjoy each and every moment of it. Yet some people stress, trying to make sure that they have all of the details right, and that they can fit into those perfectly tailored clothes.

Looking good on your wedding day is important, and everyone wants to fit into their dress before the big event. It's right to want to be healthy for your wedding, and getting healthier can take away some of your stress. There are some do not do things when it comes to wedding weight loss, as well as the must do things.

Be realistic in your weightloss goals - try to lose too much, and you'll only succeed in getting stressed out before your wedding. Set realistic goals for your diet, don't try to lose more weight than is healthy in the time you have available. Discuss your weight with your doctor and tell him or her what weight you would like to be, as well as the date of your upcoming wedding. Setting a reasonable goal with the help of your doctor, you can reach it.

If you want to lose weight in the time before your wedding, avoid starvation diets and other weight loss fads. You are stressed and not eating will only make it worse. You'll be crabby and worse, you'll be unhealthy. Your immune system may become weakened making you sick and potentially interfering with your wedding plans.

Try to be consistent in your portions - you shouldn't overeat, nor should you undereat. Stay the course by eating regular portioned meals and try to divert your nervousness into positive energy you can use to exercise.

Working out is the best way to lose weight for your marriage day. You probably already have all of that nervous energy, so put it to good use and keep moving. You'll get in better shape and you'll also be doing something productive for the wedding as well,working out with your spouse to be can be a great way for you to keep doing things together, and if you do something like ballroom dancing lessons.

When dealing with food, find a good healthy balance. Eating healthy is an excellent concept, but it doesn't exclude tasting your wedding cake. Enjoy those snacks at your bridal parties, and have those drinks with your girlfriends as you do your last night out. The most important thing about your wedding day is that you are both happy and healthy. - 15437
