I agree! Eating is often the easier way to go. I've lost 15 lbs just by diet alone before!

Also, you can always get the dress taken out a bit if you end up needing to. There's usually an inch that can be found in the seems if that's all you need.

Eating. Exercise can only be so helpful if your diet isn't good.

Eating!

When I started trying to lose the baby weight I focused mainly on net calories. I used My Fitness Pal to figure out my target net calories to lose 1.5 lbs per week and stuck to it. When you count net calories, you can factor in exercise and it will add those calories burned to what you can consume that day so that you don't eat too little.

I lost 30 pounds in just over 3 months, and slowly lost an additional 20 pounds since September. Counting calories really does work, but you have to track every single little thing you consume and be diligent (at least for the most efficient results.) My Fitness Pal was great because it uses height, weight, lifestyle, exercise amount to create a target net calorie range for you based on how much you want to lose each week (.5, 1, 1.5 or 2 lbs).

Eating! Just cutting out the excess in my diet usually lets me drop a few pounds right away.

Definitely eating! I did WW with no exercising and lost 3 dress sizes.

Definitely eating.

i agree with all the PPs; diet first. plus since it doesn't require "extra time", it might be easier for you to swing right now rather than adding in 30-60 min of exercise. good luck!

Eating for sure. Cut out sugar and carbs and go easy on dairy and you'll be surprised how quickly it will come off. It's tough to stick with, but amazing what your body holds on to.

Eating. It's much easier to control what you eat and whittle down calories that way vs. crazy exercise. Which also can make you MORE hungry!

P.S. A good seamstress can also always let out/take in an inch from the dresses. Usually bridesmaids dresses have a good 1/2" seam allowance on each side!

@MrsBrewer: don't mind at all! From Aug-Present I have lost 25lbs. Total weight loss since July has been 65lbs. (I definitely took advantage of being pregnant and ate everything in sight so I had alot to lose

I highly recommend 30 day shred if you haven't tried it yet. I did the shred + diet and lost 10 lbs in 3 weeks last year before I got pregnant. I plan on starting that up again once I stop breastfeeding to tone.

You'll definitely be able to do it though!

@MrsBrewer: I went shopping for bridesmaids dresses today for my brothers wedding...ugh... I'm focusing on eating. Hopefully start a exercise routine in the spring, walking of now
