Is it possible to lose 10 lbs in a week?

[drsogr]

I think it is possible to lose 10lbs in a week. You just have to stay away from bread or anything that'll make you retain water. Buy yourself a sweat suit and do cardio around 2 times a day. I'll warn you though. You're probably going to feel like crap but if $100 is worth it to you then go for it. Let us know what happens and good luck.

I appreciate your support. I think I am going to give this my all and see what happens. I am going to weight myself tomorrow night. I will also give you my weight on the morning of 04/11/08. Wish me luck guys.

I think some of you guys are missing the point. I expect a good amount of the weight loss to be water. I know I will lose a little muscle as well. Fully expect to. I expect to lose some fat in the process too. I am also expecting to lose some backed up poo as well! This will be a clensing experience to say the least. I plan on cutting back on the carbs, and stocking up on protein and vegetables.

How much weight would I lose if I donated some blood? Would this be better at the beginning or the end? I mind as well help out some people why I am at it!

A pint of water weights one pound, granted donating a pint of blood would be heavier but it would not be sigificant unless you did it right before the weigh-in.

keep your calories under 300 a day, and work out at least an hour a day, i drop 2.2lb's a day doing that.

I am in a little weight loss competition at work. I am about 6 lbs behind the leader, I am currently in second place. Would it be possible to catch up and lose 10 lbs in one week? The most I have ever lost is 4 lbs in a week. I currently weight about 250 lbs. Right now I eat somewhat healthy and workout 5 times a week for between 30 and 45 minutes and lose about 2-3 lbs a week. I would win 100 dollars if I won the competition. Right now I am expecting to get 30 for second place.

Any ideas?

its do-able but a)your gonna have to work your arse off, which means cardio like crazy and b)healthy eating...

not to rain on the parade though I wouldn't try and lose 10lbs in a week just to win this competition, keep losing the 2-3lbs a week because thats a healthy range, and do it for proper motives...I don't know th guy who is winning this competition but I can almost guarantee once he finishes, he will probably gain the fat back if he was losing weight just for a competition...if he has other reasons for losing the fat(the right reasons) and he is doing things properly like I advise for you, then and only then will he be likely to keep the weight off.

Eat light the night before(salad), do not drink the night before or the day of. Exercise the night before and do heavy cardio in the morning that causes you to sweat alot. This alone should get you a good amount of water loss. possibly laxative for some more weight loss.

Another way is to do a liquid fast. Take in only liquids(soups with no solids, protien shakes, water, juices.) About 6-12 hours prior to weigh in stop liquid intake.

Well I found out some good news...I am not as far behind as I thought. The calculations were screwed up. I still need to lose about 8 lbs to be safe. I weighed in today at 249.8. Tomorrow morning starts the hell week, I have planned for myself. This should be interesting!

[mpipes]

You don't need the whole week to lose 10lbs.

You can easily sweat that out the day of the weigh-in.

It's just a contest guys. If manipulating weight to meet a weigh-in was such a horrible thing, they wouldn't have treadmills and other cardio equipment backstage at bodybuilding competitions so people can get into a different weight class.

Haha. And then die 20 minutes after you win $100!

[keeganfrank]

Haha. And then die 20 minutes after you win $100!

But it totally works!! She does it every day!!

DNP, j/k

Hmmm.... Maybe if you ate nothin but BCAAs for a week?

On a more serious note, you can lose a hell of a lot of weight by dehydrating yourself but you will immediately gain them back.

[Tel0004]

You could also loose another pound by donating blood right before the final weigh in, however I don't suggest donating blood, and dehydrating yourself, so I guess there are better options.

I lost 12 pound before in one week, but it was one of the worst things I did regarding diet and weight control, plus i gained them really fast after that.

I was on 1000 calorie diet, and i was doing cardio for one hour daily ( running on 6 MPH).

I will never do it again, I like losing from 1 to 2 pounds a week.

[drsogr]

Well the weight in was this morning. I ended up losing 8.4 lbs and that was enough to actually win it. I won by 0.09%, as we were going by percentage of weight lost. The girl I beat was pretty devastated, she thought she had me beat.

Congrats!
