You've just set your wedding date, and are planning a sexy and romantic honeymoon when you suddenly catch a glimpse of yourself in the mirror and panic; "I have to lose 10 lbs. immediately!" Well fear not. You can get in shape and you can do it in time for your wedding as long as you get started early, according to Noah Blakey, LA's #1 Personal Fitness trainer. Please remember always check with your health professional before starting a wedding workout or diet program.

Keep Your Fitness Plans - Wedding Workouts and Wedding Diet Plan Simple

Blakey, who creates individualized fitness programs for over 100 clients ranging in age from 18-83,says keeping to the fundamentals is the key to getting and staying in great shape. " I am a big believer in simplicity says Blakey, " being consistent in your eating and workout habits guarantees success. Anyone can lose 10 pounds in 1 or 2 weeks. However that same person can put it all back on just as quickly.

Avoid Yo-Yo Wedding Diets and Wedding Workout Programs

I have "seen it a thousand times." So how do you get the weight off in time for my wedding and keep it off?

Start a serious Action Plan for Your Wedding Dress Diet Goals

According to Blakey it's easy as long as you follow this 4 part plan.

1) Blakey recommends joining a support-oriented weight lose program like Weight Watchers especially if you want to lose 15 or more pounds. According Blakey, having support when you are trying to lose weight and get into a new fitness routine is a key to success. Changing old eating habits without the proper positive support can be tough. Being around people who are successfully losing weight and getting fit is inspiring, and nurturing. It also makes the weight loss process easier and more fun. While Blakey recommends Weight Watchers because it offers a variety of balanced menu options and supplies you with a support group, he says that weight lose programs sponsored by local religious and civic groups as well as fitness classes like yoga can also be great support vehicles. See the next section for more wedding workout tips.

2) Join a gym. Whether you want to lose 5 or 50 pounds, to get in shape and be healthier you have to exercise regularly! To get noticeable results faster, Blakey recommends hiring a personal fitness trainer. You should work with trainer one day per week on weight training and do a cardiovascular workout 5 days per week. A good trainer will be able to access your fitness level and determine how much time you should spend working out and what you should do during that period of time. If you haven't exercised consistently for a while, Blakey recommends beginning slowly by spending 20 to 30 minutes walking on the treadmill, and then increasing the amount of time and your pace gradually every week. This type of work out will actually leave you feeling energized, and that newly found energy will inspire you to go back to the gym and work out again. Pushing yourself to hard in the beginning can actually sabotage your weight-loss plan by leaving you sore and exhausted. Remember to check with your doctor before embarking on any wedding workout or diet program.

3) Set realistic goals! Optimally you should give yourself 6 months to a year to lose weight and get in shape. Long range planning actually nets you lasting and better than expected results, by taking the pressure off you at a time when you are already feeling wedding stress. Plus, it gives you and your body time to adjust to a different and healthier way of life. The last thing you need when you are planning a wedding is added wedding stress and anxiety about your weight! According to Blakey, if you remain consistent in your eating and exercise habits, you may actually see changes in your body within 90 days! Another big bonus is that exercising regularly will actually reduce your stress levels and boost your mood.

4) Avoid sugar and flour. According to Blakey these ingredients combined with lack of exercise are the leading culprits in America's battle of the bulge. Hidden sugars in many dairy products and processed foods can undermine the most well meaning diet, and the sodium in these products can lead to water retention and bloating! To dodge any possible diet snafus, Blakey recommends reading the labels on all foods before you buy or eat them, and sticking with basic whole foods, like leafy green salads vegetables, fish and meats. You will not only feel better but also look better!
