    I read about a comedian (can't remember who) who said if she wanted to lose weight in a hurry she'd cut off her hair and trim her nails.

    Shave the pubes, too. Just in case.

    Have you been in a sauna before? I used to sprinkle water in the dry sauna to make it steam more. hit some push ups jumping jacks. If I could fit my jump rope in there I wonder if I could at my intensity level.

    Also in the article yes she did it which is a very well accomplishment. She is also in incredible shape that she did not have to prep herself to last hours on hours in the sauna. I think the longest I ever last in one was around a hour but afterwards my muscles where cramping from dehydration. Im not some novice fitness person either. I got some year of lifting weights and cardio on my belt.

    OP do not go into a sauna for hours and hours. You will hurt yourself.

    That is some of it. I used to not do this for me. Now I like I don't want heart problems when I get older my family history sucks for heart problems.

    One of my ex-husbands won an office weight-loss challenge with the help of trash bag cardio, an old trick from his wrestling days. Best of all, he was dressed appropriately! :wink:

    some of you guys are pretty hilarious . all I want to know is how to lose water weight , I don't need the lectures about cheating on the challenge but since you guys are putting so much thought into that part , let me inform you the competition is between by boss and I . I started at 144 and I weigh 136 . she started at 163 and has to be 150 by tomorrow to win . winner gets 380 dollars . since the beginning I have been eating healthy at 1250 ish calories and working out. My competitor started the lemon maple syrup cleanse to win since we NEVER said we couldn't cheat . she gave up midway so now I'm competing with myself . if I don't meet my exact goal then neither of us wins ... This is why I am trying to cheat a little . 
    Anyways .... I am proud of my weight loss because it was hard for me to lose what I have so far so I don't feel ashamed of cheating for the last three pounds just for tomorrow, then after that , going back yo my regular healthy schedule

    there was a long message posted by the OP that disappeared.

    It looked like she reported virtually every post in the thread for some reason

    Uh none of that sounds at all healthy, I can't vouch for it's effectiveness.

    The best thing I've found for shedding water weight is 1) Drink a LOT of water and 2) eat very low sodium. When I do this it usually flushes enough out of my system that I can see a 2 lb drop overnight.

    This person is totally right. Me personally, I would cheat and take a small amount of liquid magnesium/saline laxative. That will temporarily reduce water weight.... make sure after the weigh in you rehydrate. Probably not sound medical advice but its a good way to cheat the scale if it's some sort of competition.

    Oh jeez.... You again? Now you're telling people to take laxatives to lose weight?? :noway:


    Besides that the weightloss is temporary who the heck wants that? I want to lost weight permanently not lose it for a weigh in and then gain it right back...doesn't make sense.

    If you are not cheating you are not trying!!!

    Shoulda drank alot more water and had a big meal before the weigh in!

    Seriously though, just fast for 24 hours. It isnt that difficult, and if coffee or whatever makes you go to the bathroom have a little of that to help clean you out.

    Goodluck!

    I mean my honest advice is going to be similar to my scolding advice.

    You shouldn't do things that negatively affect your health for the sake of money. Do I honestly need to say that out loud.
