Fitting perfectly into that expensive wedding dress is every lady's dream. Here are 5 easy steps to lose weight before your special day.

If you are preparing for your upcoming wedding, then your mind has likely wandered to ways to make sure you fit perfectly into your dress.

When trying to come up with a weight loss plan, there is some information you need to know.

First you will need your body fat percentage, so you know how much weight you can safely lose. You will also need help to shed the weight.

Here are a few ways you can kickstart your weight loss and lose those few extra pounds to ensure that your dress looks spectacular.

1. Schedule Workouts:

Make scheduling workouts a high priority. Every week, sit down and schedule out what needs to get done. Include at least three days that you dedicate a half an hour to working out. Consider this time that is dedicated just to you. It will help you regroup after all of the wedding chaos, and it will also help you stay focused on what you want. Make sure each scheduled workout is something you stick to and follow through with.

2. Have Support:

Starting a weight loss plan alone makes each part of the process more difficult. The best thing you can do is have the support of someone that cares about you and possibly working out right alongside you. If you feel uncomfortable doing it with your fiance, then ask one of the bridesmaids. You can ask your maid of honor or even your mother to help keep you motivated. The more people you have in the group that are all working toward the same goal, the more likely each person will be successful.

3. Stay Active:

This is good advice for anyone, but may seem impossible when you are facing a wedding planner who is trying to get things done in a rushed manner. Just take the time to do what you can to keep yourself active each day. Park a few spaces further from the store when you can and walk the extra bit. Try taking the stairs instead of escalator or the elevator whenever time allows for this delay. Dance around the house when a good song comes on instead of just singing along. All of these quick tips add up to a healthier and skinnier you.

4. Buy Healthy Snacks:

There are times where you will get hungry before your next meal. If you have healthy snacks within reach, you are much more likely to eat those than having to go out for something that could be worse for your body. When you are grocery shopping, buy healthy snacks like fruit or nuts. If you go grocery shopping when you are hungry, then you will buy things based on what looks good at the time. Go for snacks that are low in carbs and sugar but high in dietary fiber to keep you feeling full longer.

5. Drink Water:

With everything going on with the planning of your wedding, carrying around a bottle of water may be the last thing on your mind. However, this should be one of the most important things on your list. No matter where you go or what you are doing, getting in those sips of water instead of the higher calorie drinks you may reach for will help you look and feel better. This is definitely a time where you should strive to at least meet the eight glasses of water a day recommendation. If you can surpass this recommendation, it can help keep you feeling full longer and stave off your reaction to grab for a snack.

These few suggestions should help you achieve weight loss of those few extra pounds that you may have gained from sampling wedding cakes and tasting the caterer's food options before your big day.

They are safe and effective ways to help you remove just a few pounds but not take up so much of your time that it adds stress.

Don't let the stress of the wedding distract you from your goals.

Looking amazing is a great goal to have and it can help inspire you to shed some extra pounds prior to your wedding day.
