Getting married in 5 months-need to up the anty

So, I have lost 10 pounds I have another 15 to lose before the big day. Starting today I have lowered my caloric intake to 1200 and have committed to 30 mins. of walking 5 days a week during lunch in addition to 30 mins. of bike riding to work. I also do long bike rides on the weekends and jog before work if I am up for it. I drink a fair amount of water, eat very healthy foods i.e. tons of veg and fruit, nuts, grains and legumes. Is there anything else I am missing here? I drink a glass of wine just about everynight and may have more on the weekends. Anything else I could be doing to melt the lbs away? I'm currently at 154 and want to be 140 within 3 months. Help... :)

Walking/jogging and biking are fantastic calorie burners but you'll want to get in a bit cardio for fat burning (like a kickboxing routine. Loads of workouts available on the internet to keep things interesting)mand something with weights or resistance for toning up (I just use bands or light free weights). I got over a plateau adding both and have really felt the benefits. I think your goal is realistic and it sounds like you have a plan. All the best, and congratulations.

Increase your cardio to 45-60 minutes and add in weights at least twice or three times a week. You will burn off more cals if you have more muscles.
Also, if you're getting married in Aug./Sept. you'll probably be wearing a sleeveless dress so you'll want your arms to be toned anyway!

weights weights weights! Do not be afraid of gaining more muscle, it may be heavier than fat, but it takes up a LOT less room and so you will appear more slender. Besides, nothing is sexier than nice looking arms, not fleshy ones!
