Going to Cabo in 10 days need to lose 8lbs!!

slm7886

I would love to lose 8lbs by then but I'm pretty sure that's wishful thinking, what about 5-6lb weightloss in 10 days?? Any tips or success stories?! Thank you!!

It's not going to happen. A couple of pounds if you're lucky.

Why don't you just focus on getting a new haircut, a cute pedicure, and an awesome bikini/swimsuit?

This is a site for healthy weight loss and recommending any technique that will result in you dropping 5-6 pounds in a week is likely to be against TOS . . . even if it is possible.

Water weight, maybe if you're diligent enough (low carb/sodium). Fat? Absolutely not.

Very well said.

You might manage it if you stop eating completely and stick to water only.

Otherwise, I recommend as above. Stand up straight, get a spray tan, buy a swimsuit that fits and flatters you, and relax.

I lost 5 lbs in a week my first couple of weeks on here I did 2 workouts a day cardio in the morning strength training or interval training in the afternoon I also cut my carb intake way down and stayed around 1300-1500 calories. This kind of weight loss isnt recommended and its doubtful I will stay at that pace I am pretty sure it was the initial shock to the system that caused my loss to be so high.

I know what you were trying to say, but be careful. There are some folks on here who would actually do that. And then end up in a hospital in Cabo while all their friends were getting tan.

you are just going to gain it back when you go to Cabo and eat

Lurkers/OP, my post wasn't meant to be a recommendation. Not eating for 10 days is not a good idea.

Just wait until you get back to start weight loss so that you are not rushed to lose lots at a time

Yep. Unless this was a surprise trip I'd say planning ahead would have been your best option.

Lol ok u guys! Thank u! I know a lot of the weight is my monthly bill bloat if you know what I mean!

Realistically you could probably lose about 2 pounds of fat in 10 days, but if it's low carb/low sodium and high intake of water possibly 5-6 altogether.

Then you'll definitely lose a few pounds once it's over.

Seriously, just go and have fun, and don't worry about your weight.

No you won't. 5 pounds in 10 days will be all water weight. How long have you known about this trip?

Sorry, not going to happen. Just enjoy your trip and don't worry about it.

Its 10 pounds. Do you really think anyone other than you will even notice? No stranger on the beach is going to come up and say ,"wow you look amazing how much have you lost?" Go. Eat. Have a great time. Stop worrying about unimportant details.

Exactly what I was going to say - was this a surprise trip?

Regardless, I also agree with posters saying, "who do you think is going to notice whether you weigh 5 or even 10 lbs less in Cabo?". Are there going to be weigh ins?

Believe me, I've been to Mexico a few times... on my trips I was either enjoying the all inclusive drinks so much that I could care less what I weighed, and same goes for my travel companions, or, on my last trip to Mexico, husband and I both got Montezuma's revenge and so I'm pretty sure we came home 5 lbs lighter than we started the trip...

Trust me, you want the first experience, not the second.

Not happening.

Just have fun! Don't worry about a few pounds. I'm sure you look just fine, and you'll look even better as a confident, happy you!
