in Health and Weight Loss
Touchy subject I know. So I'll explain first.

So after I lost 50 pounds I inspired my work to start a biggest loser challenge. I was glad to inspire my coworkers to shed some pounds however I was leery to join them. The challenge started in december and ends the first week of march. I knew being competitive would be a challenge as I had already shed so much weight and I would be missing the last weigh in due to a sheduled vacation. So I need to weigh in twice in one week (next week) to remain in the competition,or weigh in when I get back the following monday from my cruise. Now I can show some restraint but while on a cruise with 15 of your closest friends this will be a challenge in itself.

After insipring so many coworkers to join I gave in and joined the challenge. Now that the end is near and I've been in the lead most of the competition...I'm in second....to a much larger man who is still capable of throwing down giant numbers. As such he's been using the sauna 2x a day to lose more weight. This week he lost 9# grrr.

So while I'm in this for the long run...an extra $600.00 wouldn't be bad either.

I just need some temporary weightloss....

Any suggestions?

I am in this for the long haul just need some competitive advantage.

    $600 will barely scratch the surface of the loose skin removal if you lose it too fast....

    You need to ask yourself if potentially sacrificing your health and your ability to maintain this lifestyle permanently is worth losing over a competition.

    just for a few days eat protein only and loads of water but no more then 4 days.. should shift 7 or more pounds... refer to dukan diet on google for tips.

    Would not recommend at all for a lifestyle change.. been there done that put it all back on...

    good luck!

    Fasting... sauna... laxatives...

    Or my personal fav... forget about fast weight loss and cultivate a positive, healthy relationship with food and go for slow, unrisky, sustainable loss.

    Yeah, don't do it!!!! Are you losing weight for fame and noteriety and money or because you want to be healthy? I don't get it!!!

    If you are really intent on this, how about trying HCG! I've heard that does wonders for your health.

    cut out the carbs completely! You will lose weight fast in the beginning, but when you add them back the weight will come back. If its worth it to you I would go that route. I did that once in my life, I lost alot of weight, but then it all came back PLUS some when I was done.

    Cut off your most unused limb, I am guessing this would your non-dominant arm. Make sure you keep the limb on ice as you may be able to have it re-attached after the competition, although if may cost you much more than the $600 you would win.

    Try drinking more water. (1/2 your body weight in pounds as ounces of water.) If you don't drink this much normally, will help you drop a few extra pounds.

    Heck, cut off all your limbs, you'll win the prize and I'm sure all the chicks will really dig you!!!

    This was going to be my suggestion too!

    On the basis that removing a limb has been taken I'm going to suggest blowing you nose really really hard, shaving your legs and getting a haircut.

    Get a part-time job to make $600 and continue doing what your doing in terms of your health and fitness. Let's say you sacrifice your metabolism and lose a lot of weight, but someone else still wins and you don't get the money. Now you're going to gain weight and feel like crap.

    I could be bias though...Losing weight without working hard to maintain my optimum level of health and fitness is not something I practice and neither is making money without working hard.

    Wow. Sorry, but that is an insult to those of us who are in it for the long haul and want to make healthy LIFE time choices. Not smart.

    It's not an insult... it's nothing personal. Different strokes for different folks.
