*clears throat* Go you! Enjoy all the benefits that such an unhealthy and rapid weight loss will bring:It risks gallstones, loss of unneccessary amounts of LBM, crashing and burning, osteoperosis, heart attacks etc.

If you say you can lose 14lbs In one month, then do it..why do you need us? Many people have told you many different ways it's possible, but not remotely healthy. What more do you want?
Let us know how it works out for ya
Best of luck!0 -

Then you should have started earlier, or your doctor shouldn't have had unrealistic weight loss goals.
I was only told this last week, so doctor must think it's possible also
Show your doctor this and ask for confirmation that it's healthy for you to lose 14 pounds in a month. Likely 1. they didn't do the math or 2. they don't expect full compliance so told you a stone and hope that you will lose half a stone.
What's the surgery and why does it need to be done in a month?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.0 -
12 or 13 pounds I tjink...almost a stone...much was water weight and muscle loss I'm sure0

OP, based off you're current weight, I don't see what surgeon would not perform whatever this important surgery is. Normally they will refuse morbidly obese patients because the anesthesia for them is dangerous, but this is not the case for you. I smell something off.0
-
OP.... please listen to the advice given here by the very experiences. If they say that your weight loss goal is unhealthy and unrealistic, then take that into consideration. Doctors do not have any more than 5 weeks of nutrition training. Please see a dietitian.
You are not morbidly obese, so your weight is not more dangerous than a fast weight loss.. If you lose weight fast now, you would definitely feel the negative affects of it.
As a 30 day shred veteran, the results wont be the same repeating the shred directly after the first month. Go for Ripped in 30, or Body Rev, but like I said, you won't lose more than you already have in the previous month. Eating below 1200 NET will send you into downward spiral. I know... I've been there, and I am working on having a better relationship with food.
No one is being rude here. So far, all I see is fantastic advice. Everyone is concerned for your health here. Low calorie is freakin' downright dangerous. How do I know? I've been in hospital from following very low calorie! Brittle nails, malnutrition, pimples, weakness, anger, depression, anxiety and hair falling out, missing periods, (plus more) are not worth it. Muscle loss doesn't scare you? You know the heart is a muscle, right?
Amen.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 doCherryBomba1 wrote: »booksandchocolate12 wrote: »So, you're here for validation, not advice.

You see.... when you eat 1200 cals, and burn say 200-300 cals, that leaves you 900-1000 calories for your body functions....Way. Too. Low. You are starving yourself and are doing way more harm than good (refer to my previous post). Keep the exercise, and increase your calories to 1500 and see how you go. You doctor gave you very poor advice.
You lost more weight in your first month as you lost some fat and mostly water weight. I lost ~20lbs in 1.5 months...water weight mostly. Weight loss will naturally slow down after that.0 -
Eh....double post. Apologies.0

Please don't. One of the great things about MFP is that they encourage people to lose weight in a healthy and sustainable fashion. Losing weight at the rate you have and are trying to do does not fit that standard.

Advising anyone to eat below 1200 NET would be against the terms of service.0

So what did your doctor say? Did s/he refer you to a dietician, exercise physiologist, etc.?

CherryBomba1 wrote: »I'm 5'2, and 12stone. Need to loose a stone for medical reasons
Honestly, the most I've lost was in 3 months I lost about 35lbs and I think 14 in one month... Possible, yes, but it takes a lot of work. Youd have to eat well and exercise a LOT for it to be even remotely healthy, unless you are carrying a hell of a lot of water weight. I have a BMI I think is likely close to yours? I am about 190 and I'm 5'4" and you're about 170 (I'm using lbs so youre 12 stone Im about 13-14 stone) so I assume our loss rate could be similar..... you could but again it may not be healthy and it is not extremely likely that you will lose weight at that rate. If it is for medical reasons why must it be done all at once? What is happening in a month?0 -

Once I didnt eat for 10 days or sleep for 5 and I physically have never felt better. I'm not saying it was healthy, but it felt like it was lol Well, not the sleep part, but the not eating felt good...but then again I have digestive issues that I need to see a specialist for. But for me this isnt true, so idk about all that, but it definitely is not the healthiest way to lose weight. Best to just exercise and eat at a deficit and hope for the best..

As I've said repeatedly, I didn't do anything unhealthy, my allowance was 1200, but some days I did not reach that.
I did to a hell of s lot of exercise including the 30 day shred.0 -

Not hitting your minimum net calories requirement to ensure adequate nutrition is the very definition of unhealthy as has has also been said repeatedly0 -
So if I've eaten 3 healthy meals, and am not hungry, I must still eat more just to reach my calorie allowance. Ok.0

Yes to hit your calories, your protein and fat minimum macros and ensure a wide spread of micro-nutrients.0 -
Less is not more
Up the calorie density of your three healthy meals
It's easy enough to do
I think you've just fallen into a dieters trap tbh ...calories are your friend not enemy, they are the energy source by which the body runs and repairs itself ... good hair, skin, cell repair, cognitive functions etc
You want to lose fat not LBM ...lose too rapidly and your body will break down more LBM than necessary and use available energy to support basic functions0 -

You're not alone ...we all did
I found it useful to consider my calories on a weekly basis ...and my protein and fat macros daily ....some days you're less or more hungry, or you have a night out planned ..as long as my rolling 7 day report (in the app) is on track I'm happy0 -

I suggest you do circuit training like lifting weights. I started at 166 at 5'2 and I lost 22 lbs my first month. But I lift. I lift so I build muscle and get the body I want. If you lose that much weight in one month you will lose muscle and you'll be weak. Weak is not fun. I'm losing weight because everything hurts when you are over weight. But nothing hurts as much as being weak. Good luck. Drink water!0

Late update, but I did it. Lost 15lb!!!0

10 lbs, so 4 shy of a stone. And that only happened one time, at the very beginning of my weight loss, and has not recurred since. And for that I am glad. It was probably only like 6 lbs and 4 lbs of water weight anyway.0
