    What about HCG? Or The Master Cleanse???
    This is a reportable offense in most users eyes right here.


    --- To OP:
    Goodluck on trying to lose anywhere near that goal number. I personally don't think it's possible without doing something drastic and harmful to your body.

    I also think it's absolutely ridiculous that a program is saying you HAVE to be under a certain weight for a certain height to even be considered for a class.

    Just doing some basic math here. You would need a deficit of 4083 calories per day. You would have to eat nothing and spend every day in the gym for hours and hours. Unless you are going to be on some sort of medically monitored fast, this wont work.

    15lbs in a month takes a lot of effort and motivation. 35 is unreasonable.

    It is possible, but it ****ing sucks. I did it and I WAS FINE. I did it to enlist but I didn't have any physical activity to do immediately after, weigh in is early in the morning so you bet your *kitten* I ate right afterward. If it is height weight stand as tall as you can (most of the time you can wear your socks to get your h/w taken, so pad your socks a little. it will make you taller thus, making you be able to weigh a little less. Workout like a crazy fool and eat as little as possible. It isn't healthy, but it answers your question. Under a doctors supervision would be best. Good luck.

    I know that no matter what anyone says, you are going to at least try to lose the weight, so you may as well have some answers to your question.

    your targeting to lose 1.x lb per day, viable solution is to do the HCG. But even so, i know someone done the HCG but only able to lose about 0.5lb per day. HCG is extreme, so you need a more extremeeerr than HCG which is not known to me yet..

    That's a lot to lose in a month, short of starvation I'm not sure what you can do to lose hat much weight in 1 month.

    I think it is absolutely ridiculous that they would have weight guidelines this strict. 140 pounds can be a very different thing depending on body composition. For example, if you check out this girl's story, you cannot POSSIBLY tell me that she would have made a better fire fighter at 117 than she would at 142

    Seems to me that a little bit of muscle mass on a firefighter would be desirable. Sorry I don't have any ideas on how to lose the weight that quickly. :( I hope things work out for you.

    Well so far I've lost weight. I've known about the weight requirements thing is... There's a long waiting list that I've been on for about a year. And they finally called me. This is a New York City Fire Dept Emergency Medical service job. Look it up online. Most definitely different than any other requirements of any state in the US. Ny is incredibly strict. Also majority of EMTs and fire Dept anywhere else are all volunteers. It's all union paid full benefits. Medical. Pension. 401k.... Ect. It's a dream job. That's why I love being a New Yorker. However. I'm down 10lbs so far. If I don't drop 20 within the next few weeks they are allowing me to try back in January which is amazing lol thank you all for you advice!
