Default Hello From South Africa

I am getting married in about 3 months and I can't fit in my granny's wedding dress. It could fit in 2 years ago and I altered it to my liking then.

I have to lose at least 12 kg's now!!!

Welcome to the forums!

12 kgs is an ambitious goal for 3 months, but I'm confident that if you stick to your plan you will see great progress.

Welcome, Rakgadi.

I imagine you'll have heard of Professor Tim Noakes from Cape Town? His Real Meal Revolution website was the first low carb resource that I was ever referred to. His work has since gone a long way to absolutely changing my life.

12kg in 3 months is a steep challenge, but not impossible. I managed an average of 1kg/week for about 8 months for a while there, but then I had a lot more to lose in the first place as well. I'm sure you'll give it your best shot.

Good luck to you in reaching your goal.

Just a note of encouragement - I dropped 25 pounds in six weeks when I started low carbing. You can do this! Stick to plan.
