I read a lot about dieting and am chronically on those last 10 (ok, 15) lbs. There's no sub for portion control and avoiding sweets, much to my dismay. Have protein at each meal the size of your palm so you don't go hungry and binge. Eat 4-5 small meals, rather than 3 big meals. Eat breakfast. Oddly enough, even if you are consuming a few more calories in the day, it revs your metabolism. Don't eat after 7pm, but have some tea if you like. I like Celestial Seasonings English Toffee dessert tea. Drink lots of water. For exercise, try to do something every day, even if it is just a 10 minute stroll around the block. Using weights will help increase your metabolism. Maybe you can use small handweights weights with your injury, or use a recumbant stationary bike? Try finding videos that focus on core, bum and legs. Don't do anything that hurts or gives you a twinge. Green tea is said to induce weight loss, but the caffeine may cause more trouble than it is worth. Good Earth makes a tasty lemongrass decaf green tea that you may be able to tolerate. Remember that even decaf tea has some caffeine. If it bothers you, you can remove more caffeine by letting the tea steep for 30 seconds, then tossing the water and steeping the same tea in fresh hot water as usual.
Congratulations, and remember your prospective spouse loves you as you are. Even with ten extra pounds at the wedding, it will be a perfect day.
