hi. short background: i'm 29 female, 5'5'', currently weigh 136. Since October, I have been steadily decreasing my weight from 158 (HOORAY!!) losing 3 lbs/month. I guess you'd say I am a 'slow loser'. I have lost 10 inches overall (2.5 chest, 4.5 waist, 3 hips). I eat 1200-1300 calories and do cardio 4-5x/week (varying intensity and duration using elliptical/tapes/running), as well as 3x / week strength training and 2 x advanced pilates classes (using machines). I do not belong to a gym. I drink LOTS of water and take vitamins. I am NOT Looking for a quick fix as I realize this is a lifestyle change.
However, I am getting married in 7 weeks and would LOVE to be down to 128 lbs. I have a healthy BMI, not sure on my BF% and know I am in the middle of healthy weight range, but you can definitely SEE fat on my arms, belly, chest and really would love to tone and see definition to feel successful and strong.
I know I am very close to maintaining but I am looking for a 7 week plan - maybe to jumpstart what i have been doing or find ways to define those arms (that i have to think are under this fat!!) for my strapless gown and for bathing suit season!! I've seen people make drastic changes in 7 weeks and am looking for advice from those of you that have been so successful!!
thank you in advance!!!
