4 Months Out

Weight Loss

Now that you're 60 days into your new exercise regimen, Friberg said it's time to take progressions in your workout. When lifting weights, consider increasing the weight. With your HIIT training, try taking harder variations like tuck jumps or burpees with a jump.

Although you're undoubtedly inundated with wedding planning, make sure you're staying on task with your journal, writing in your food diary, and logging your workouts.

This is also the perfect month to incorporate regeneration. "Book yourself a massage or bodywork session. You have upped your game and are training like an athlete," Friberg said. "You need to regenerate like an athlete. This is so important to maintain progress and also prevent any injuries or setbacks."

Toning

Kom told POPSUGAR that month three is the time to focus on your diet — but don't let the scale dictate your mood. "It just plays mind games with you, so set a once-per-week max on stepping on that scale," she said, noting that when you're adding muscle, you can actually gain weight.

So how exactly should you handle your diet? Kom said a cleanse or self-deprivation is definitely not the solution. "Start focusing more on what you do eat vs. what you don't," she advised. "Just make sure your diet includes two to three servings of veggies, a serving or two of fruit, plenty of lean proteins, and some brain-powering, energy-inducing carbs like steel-cut oatmeal and brown rice."

And, of course, stay on track with your workouts during month three.
