Burning all the calories I eat

No offense to anybody, but you do know that you gain up to fifteen pounds a week due to the heavy calorie intake. I wonder why everybody says that it is unhealthy to lose weight fast but they never say it's unhealthy to gain weight fast.9

People tell you that you need to eat back what you burn off. WHAT THE HELL IS THE POINT OF EXERCISING IF YOU EAT IT BACK ANYWAY?? Do what you feel comfortable with. If you feel lethargic and deprived, add a bit more calories. No one in the world can tell you how your body works. People say you need to weight lift and have a calorie surplus to gain muscle, last summer, I ate 1500 calories daily, no cheat days, ran cross country two hours a day, never once picked up a weight, and GAINED SIX POUNDS, LOST TWO INCHES OFF MY WAIST. I'm 5'9 and ended the summer at 164. What does that tell you? Everyone's body is different. Just listen to yours. If you have extra fat that you're trying to lose, then that's what your body will burn when it's not getting the calories it needs. BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT IT'S THERE FOR. Your main priority is nutrients. Take a daily vitamin, get your calories from nutritious foods. And honey, don't use what other people say as words to live by, use your personal experience. Doing anything for a brief amount of time won't harm you. Just pay attention to your body, get check ups, and change it up if somethings wrong.16

If you want to be healthy, see a doctor for a physical at least once a year, eat all healthy food and exercise. I think a doctor would probably suggest less exercise or more food. But you should ask them.
I don't know if you can lose that much in that short a time or not. If you're trying to fit into a wedding dress, you might want to check on alterations, just in case.0 -
Back when I was active duty enlisted I put on weight while on limited duty due to a shoulder injury. I'm 6'4 and according to the Marine Corps if I'm 221 lbs I'm a fatass (over weight). Because of my own laziness and being allowed to skate out of PT while rehabbing my shoulder I put on 40-ish pounds and was up to the 260s. I made the cutting score to pick up Corporal but my SNCOIC non-rec'd me (non recommendation for promotion) because he knew I was being lazy and out of regs on my weight.
This pissed me off to no end, so I became very motivated to lose the weight. I'd get up in the mornings before any Company or Battalion PT and lift weights at the gym for about an hour. During lunch I'd go to the pool on base and swim laps for an hour. After work I'd go run... and back then for me 6 miles was a light/easy run. During this time I followed the eating regime from the Abs Diet and I cut the weight down in about six weeks and picked up my promotion.
You can lose the weight if you want to and are willing to put in the hours, and it sounds like you are. My recommendation would be that you don't restrict your calories so much as you restrict what KIND of calories you're getting. During that time I didn't really pay attention to the calories I ate, I just followed the eating plan and always had energy. I don't recommend you just jump your activity level up that high unless you're already pretty fit. Ease into it and if you do multiple workouts in a day, rotate the kind of exercises you're doing through the day (i.e., I never ran twice in the same day).0 -

Who are you talking to? This thread is 2 1/2 years old.4 -
He is talking to me four years in the future, nearly. I am interested in this same information!5

Not need to yield my dear, just use your inner voice to express your thoughts (aka no caps). And you and the OP are doing a very unhealthy thing. Do not promote unhealthy eating habits or behavior in this website, please.
You're quoting a five year old thread.
My bad, and you are correct. I shall delete my previous posting.

Alright everyone chill, hah I only did this for maybe 3 days and was just asking to see if its healthy. Don't need people to be rude! The reason why I even considered this was because I know a girl whos training to be a bikini contest and she is a personal trainer and burned 7000 calories the last time i went to the gym with her. The only reason I am trying to cram as much exercise in now is because in 9/10 weeks I am moving and starting off a new job, I wanted to look good. Then after losing that weight, I was going to just try to maintain it which would mean less cardio and weight training, etc. Thanks for the input though! It was helpful.
Did you exercise with Michael Phelps?
These are posts from 5 years ago.1 -
If we tout that the forums are for the people lurking why do “zombie threads” irritate people so much? Someone was obviously searching the forums which is exactly what they are for, and interested in the topic. Is the information any less valid now then it was then?5

Often, yes. It's good to search, for sure. But in several years, science moves on.
More significantly, this community - unlike other online forums I've participated in - seems to improve collective community knowledge over time.
I'd vote for searching, then validating against current consensus.
There's no point in "helping" people who checked out 5 years ago. There's every point in asking whether old threads represent current knowledge. Individual reply posters may fail on one or the other .

It should be a way to "put to rest/close" any thread that is more than 2 years old. Or leave it but make it impossible to allow more postings.4

She hasn't posted anything in 34 months. We were both sucked in an old thread.
