I've lost 10 lbs. in two weeks on WW, but I was like 50 lbs. overweight then.
OP- Just do what you can reasonably do without resorting to nutty fasts and such. Ignore the pearl-clutching here over aiming to lose any more than .00001 lb/week. Pick up any diet book and it will have an initial aggressive phase designed to drop big pounds quick. It's not going to hurt you for two weeks. Lyle McDonald has an ebook he wrote for quick fat loss for weddings and such. Maybe see if you can scrounge a copy of that up. It's a good read.0 -
Really? As. Close. To.
How many times do I have to rewrite that.
I'm baffled that so many of you are so shocked that a person is asking questions to learn how to do something. Anybody would have thought that's the reason for a forum!0 -
You've got your answer - even assuming a lot of it was water weight, you're looking at 1-2 months (or longer) to lose that much weight.
What are we arguing about now?0 -
No the funny part is inbetween all your self righteous rants are people willing to and actually helping. And the funnier part is all the private messages I'm receiving off people who are too scared to help because of people like you putting them down.0

Healthy weight loss is 2 pounds or less per week depending on how much you have to lose. Unless you have more than 50 pounds overweight, 2 pounds is completely unrealistic. 1 pound per week is kind of unrealistic if you have less than 25 to lose. If you choose to lose weight in a healthy way, the most you should lose in 2 weeks in 4 pounds.
People have given you excellent advice on dropping water weight, but really aside from that and eating at a modest deficit that is ALL there is to say.0 -

They aren't afraid of a put down, they are afraid of getting strikes or getting banned for TOS violations.0 -
Thanks for the tip, I'll give it a go0

Debatable. I've not received one message suggesting anything that would be considered dangerous or eating disorder promoting.0

Good. I point out stupid or dangerous answers.0 -
If that's all to say, then why on earth wasn't that all you said?!0

Run and run a lot. I lose weight quickly when I run everyday!! Good luck!!0

You should probably use the quote tool. Makes these things easier to follow.0 -

Okay reading it over again, slowly, nope still missing this part where I'm asking for an unhealthy manor in which to do so.
You asked for a "crash" routine, mentioned an event in 2 weeks and a dress purchased for the event that doesn't fit, and admit that you're under no illusion that it will benefit you in the long term. All of those items send the message that you were looking for quick fix diet advice to lose 12 lbs in 2 weeks, which is why people responded in the manner they did.0 -

Only reasonable people would assume this.0 -
There are tons of people on MFP ready and willing to engage in and promote eating disorders and unhealthy calorie deficit a. They communicate via wall post and PM because that crap is not tolerated on the forums.
So I don't doubt that you have tons of anorexic girls and thinspiration girls and whatnot messaging you.0 -
Cut sodium and drink a lot of water for the next couple of weeks. Continue on with your healthy lifestyle & hope for the best.0

Maybes if these people were a little more reasonable they wouldn't assume quite so much.0

Everyone "freaks" out differently about their weight. I know - I recently went on vacation for 10 days and threw abandon to the wind and came back 8 pounds heavier....whether water weight, bloating or just plain fat, it doesn't really matter, it was still a lot of weight in a short time. So it does happen.
And lets be honest....this girl doesn't need to be LECTURED on the "right" way or the "healthy" way to lose the weight... we all know how a person becomes over weight-yet here we are (most of us) overweight, so we chose to "ignore" what we knew to be the "right" and "healthy" way to eat...and gained weight. So we can't lecture some one for the same thing we did...ignoring healthy eating habits.
What we can do, is give her encouragement, not lecture her about MFP rules, not doubt whether she is telling the truth or not about the weight she gained, not tell her sarcastically to go buy another dress, not call her a troll and not tell her how wrong she is!!!
We are better than that! She needs compassionate guidance, not a bunch of judgmental people jumping down her throat.
Agree!0 -

What are we assuming....
You asked how to lose 6kg in two weeks so you can wear a dress that doesn't fit you.
You know this is bad, but a one time thing since you normally know and do better.0 -

Ok, so then nicely go about telling her that 6kg in two weeks is impossible and dangerous. Preferably in a PM because if it's a private message, it must be an excellent idea.0 -
I'm looking for an effective "crash" routine to shift 6kg in as close to two weeks as poss!
Like many people I binged over Xmas
Putting on 6kg!!!!!!!
While I'm at uni, I eat very well and go to the gym at least 4 times a week consistently. But going home for a month for Xmas, where there isn't a gym and I could only run on the roads (which I did) and my mum isn't inboard with the "clean" eating thing and while in under her roof it causes too many arguments, has done me over.
I've got an important event in two weeks and my dress I bought before Xmas doesn't fit right now!
As a disclaimer (for anybody who cares to know) I'm under no illusion that this will benefit me in the long term. I'm very happy with my regular healthy living routine, just interested if anyone can help me get over this speed bump and back to where I'd worked months to be!0 -
Dear OP,
Are you familiar with what a crucifixion entails?
Really? Because I'm sure you, by no means, are intending to diminish the brutality and very real history of something that was done to hundreds of people, maybe thousands, by comparing the unacceptance of your 'diet plan' to the act.0 -
The majority of the helpful replies I've received have been from guys, not quite all the "anorexic girls" your pinpointing.0

There would be no ulterior motive for that.0 -
EXACTLY.No way you actually gained over 13 pounds in one month. You are saying you overate 46,270 calories in addition to your regular intake. You're tiny. Not buying it. I smell troll....
ETA: corrected kg to lbs calc...
Do the math.
What's your idea of a "crash"?0 -
If your sure, like you say you are, and I know you are, why post that comment? Would you also like a round of applause?0
-
Get back on the horse and see what happens.
If I've been misbehavin', I usually drop quite a bit of water weight in the first week that I'm back on track. I'm not sure if that's enough to get you back into the dress, but I'd recommend investing in some Spanx or getting another dress in addition. Nothing is more miserable that trying to diet yourself into a garment with a deadline hanging over you.
Good luck!0 -
