You may want to cut that weight loss number just a tad. Shedding between 4 and 8 pounds in 30 days is more achievable. Still, there's plenty you can do to look and feel beautiful for your brother's big day.

First, vow to firm your upper body by lifting weights two or three times a week, so you'll be stunning in your strappy new gown. Next, shrink your fat zones by following a healthy eating plan. 

Once you've put your plan for trimming down into place, broadcast your goals. Going public will summon support that's essential to your weight loss success. But be choosy about who you tell--you don't want to be sabotaged by those who would rather lead you down the wedding aisle of temptation than toward a happier, healthier you.

Pick three key people who will talk you through your cravings and urge you on--even when you'd rather flop on the sofa. Send them a "success contract" with your name, date, and the specifics of why you want to slim down. (For example, "I want to feel confident, not self-conscious, when I stand in front of 200 people and toast the happy couple at the wedding.") Enclose a note telling them they can help by checking in daily or being an exercise buddy.With your cheering squad and a weight loss plan in place, you'll look fabulous. Just be careful you don't upstage the bride!
