I'm just above the 4 month mark and i have increased my water

After reading this article I started taking collagen pills. the skin is better, the hair grows stronger. my weight hasn't changed but I feel better

I started a new skincare routine about 3 months prior! I used a ton of products but here are the ones I think are definitely worth the money:

Super Glow - Really evened out my skin tone which was important for when I am bare skinned.

LashMagic Pen - This one gave me the most notice results. Made my eyelashes super long reducing the need for as much mascara.

Hope this helps!

Great tips everyone!

I have to start drinking more water. I'm not a fan of water, but I can do this

I've got 9 months to go and while I definitely WANT to lose a good amount of weight (20-30 pounds), especially so that my upper arms might lose some girth and show more definition, I also made sure that I bought a dress that even if I don't lose a pound, I can still feel beautiful in. I've spent too much of my life pressuring myself to lose weight, and yo-yo'ing around the scale, and things have gotten stubborn. So, I continue to work on keeping my diet clean without doing any drastic diets, building in a little "time restricted eating / intermittent fasting" here and there. I should lighten up on the carbs, the ongoing battle. Aside from that, I am doing 3 weight-training workouts a week and mobility exercises to keep limber. I drink ALL the water, go for daily walks, take my vitamins, and get the sleep I need! What more can I do beyond getting a face lift or botox? LOL

I do need also to get my hair colour corrected as my stylist went too heavy and yellow with the blond to my liking.

Got sessions with a dietitian as I was not fitting into the dress that I ordered back in 2019. After 6 weeks, I finally fit in it again, phew. I have cut off junk food, paying attention to my skincare with sunscreen, Vitamin C, Retinol, Glycerin and Glycolic Acid skincare products and slowly increasing my water intake. I drank 2 Litres everyday for 3 days and my God, the difference it made in my skin even in that short amount of time. I have been trying to exercise but things fell off the wagon for that part. I need to go back to it but I am a bit lazy...

Hahaha, I know what you mean. But it's only a month and I was still able to eat delicious food, so it was manageable. Even small steps like nixing chips for popcorn for a month makes a difference.

Before getting engaged earlier this year, I have lost 30 pounds. Since then I have been fluctuating a lot in weight, then summer came it went downhill. I gained about 5 pounds but now I am starting again with a regular gym schedule and a better diet and less eating out. I am 15 months out and I order a dress a size and a half smaller for the motivation that I have to lose some because if I don't, $2,250 is wasted or I will have to stress out and try to lose to much in little time. So its just been trying to find a new routine, especially since I moved jobs and its been harder to get in a gym session.

But besides losing weight for my dress, I have been changing my routine in skincare and haircare. I do not like to wear a lot of makeup, so I have been trying to find a routine that works for me and I think I'm on a good track? I have also been going to the hairdresser a lot more, I want my hair a certain color but I had it like almost black, so it has been a slow process of getting my hair to the desired color. But I am working on it!

So I have been spending a ton of money on skincare and haircare products lately, but that's okay

I cut junk food the month leading up to my wedding. If I ate outside, there would be no deep fried or processed fast food. Makes a huge difference.

The first time around in January 2020 before postponing, I defiantly started drinking lots of water with lemon. I'll probably start that back up again in the new year. I defiantly saw a change for the good with my skin and hair!
