Next, think about your health and quality of life. Though your wedding tux may be out of reach, dropping a few pounds and exercising more will improve your fitness, strength and energy. Just check with your doctor before you increase your activity level.
The game plan Here’s how to get the ball rolling:
- Don’t skip breakfast
- Cut portions in half
- Don’t overdo protein
- Focus on good carbs

- Exercise regularly
- Limit alcohol
Finally, don’t rush it. A goal of one half to one pound a week is the most sensible for the long term. When it comes to permanent weight loss, slow and steady wins the race.
