Most weight lost in 1 month

CherryBomba1

That wasn't my first month though, it was my 3rd. Only difference I did last month was doing the 30 day shred DVD

if that's all you have to lose, it is not realistic to lose a stone in a month. if you had a lot of weight to lose, it would be possible but you simply don't have the fat stores to burn and lose that quickly.

I have to loose it, or my surgery will be delayed

Then you should have started earlier, or your doctor shouldn't have had unrealistic weight loss goals.

Over the first three months I lost an average of 15 lb/month, but I started fairly far into morbid obesity, so that was eating 1900 calories/day. It certainly isn't going to continue at that rate.

I was only told this last week, so doctor must think it's possible also

If you look at the math I posted earlier, it's just not possible without being unhealthy. I'll post it again just in case you missed it.

These are the estimations of the total amount of calories you burn in a day with your current stats (calories needed to maintain current weight at different activity levels):
Sedentary TDEE = 1718
1-3 hrs/wk light exercise = 1969
3-5 hrs/wk moderate exercise = 2219
5-6 hrs/wk strenuous exercise = 2470
7-21 hrs/wk strenuous exercise/active job = 2720
http://scoobysworkshop.com/accurate-calorie-calculator/

To create the loss you want, you need to eat 1,750 under what it would take you to maintain your weight.

You can't cut 1,750 calories from any of those activities and still have enough calories to get adequate nutrition in.

Sedentary would be absolutely no calories. You literally wouldn't be able to eat anything.

1-3 hrs/wk exercise you would only be able to eat 219 calories a day. It is highly unlikely you would be able to sustain this level of activity on 200 calories and it would most likely land you in the hospital if you tried. You would also end up malnourished.

3-5 hrs/wk exercise you would only be able to eat 469 calories a day. Again, not only would you not be able to sustain the activity level on this few calories, you would end up malnourished and probably land yourself in the hospital.

5-6 hrs/wk exercise you would only be able to eat 720 calories a day. Again, not only would you not be able to sustain the activity level on this few calories, you would end up malnourished and probably land yourself in the hospital.

7-21 hrs/wk exercise/very active job you would only be able to eat 970 calories a day. Again, not only would you not be able to sustain the activity level on this few calories, you would end up malnourished and probably land yourself in the hospital.


I'm sorry, but at your weight the rate of loss your looking for just isn't possible without starving and becoming malnourished.

Really! I would think a call to the Physician for clarification, might be in order. Because it is most unlikely that you will be able to achieve that loss in any way anyone on this thread would recommend in good conscience and without violating MFP's tos.

Maybe he or she gave you that goal so that you would try your best to lose the weight. Is it possible they are really only expecting an 8 lb loss at most?

And as I said earlier, I lost 12 pound last month doing the 30 day shred so it is possible as I've done it, and kept it off

Then why ask us if you already know how to do it? Best of luck to you! Signed not returning to this thread, Dani

I didn't say it wasn't possible. I said it wasn't possible to do in a healthy way. 12 lbs ago you needed more calories to maintain your weight. Now you need less calories to maintain and are trying to create a larger deficit then you had last month. Doesn't really make much sense if you ask me. The deficit you had last month would at least give you 1200 calories now if you were very active.

CherryBomba1

I was sticking to 1200 calories a day or just under.
The purpose of this thread was to find out if it was possible to loose more than 12lb

queenliz99

Get back to us and tell us how you did then.

Look a couple posts up. I showed the math for trying to lose 14 lbs at your current weight and I honestly don't think it's a good idea. I'd suggest, if your doctor really wants you to lose weight, to just keep what your doing. It may not be healthy for most, but if the surgery is something that is important for you health it could be that your doctor thinks the risks with fast weight loss are lower than the risks of not having the surgery (or delaying it).

It risks gallstones, loss of unneccessary amounts of LBM, crashing and burning, osteoperosis, heart attacks etc

There is a reason VLCD is medically monitored and short term and for the morbidly obese where the issues are weighed against health risks from obesity

The surgery is very very important, I need it so I have to loose it. And am sure I will with dedication.
Thanks for the few who posted helpful comments.

If your doctor has told you to lose 36lbs in 3 months I sincerely hope they are monitoring you with regular blood tests and meetings, because if not that would be malpractice

superhockeymom

Why would s Doctor even suggest that? Believe me I know what has to be done to lose that amount in a month and it is not at all pleasant or healthy. Energy of 0. walking up s hill feels like a mountain terrible headaches, moody irritable the list goes on and on.

CherryBomba1

I felt fine last month when I lost the 12lb, felt great actually

There is no reason to ask a question if you have already decided your answer...or if there is no way you are going to believe the answers that are given. Just give it your all and hope for the best.

I thought this was a support forum, obviously not. I won't post again

Sued0nim

It is a general diet and weight loss help forum

Posters do not / should not support dangerous or unhealthy practices

Helping people achieve their goals is one thing, being a cheerleader for unsafe practices like VLCD without medical support is not supportive in any sense of the word

You clearly have a path in mind, you should look at the information you have been given objectively and research some more independently and come to your own decision as a rational adult ..that's all anyone can do

So, you're here for validation, not advice. You want everyone to support what you're doing, even though we know it's a bad idea. Got it.

*clears throat* Go you! Enjoy all the benefits that such an unhealthy and rapid weight loss will bring:

I'm at a normal BMI and always have been aside from pregnancy and childhood fatness. I think the most I've ever lost in a month is 5lbs or so.
