    I lost ten pounds that quickly, then the hospital forced me to bring the baby home from the hospital.

    Darn hospitals. :laugh:

    I know, right. Once he hit 16, I was ready to take him back but they made me keep him. ;-)

    I feel really sorry for all of the newbies you just derailed. :(

    You need to take a hard look at what some of the informed posters are telling you regarding the healthy way to do this...

    Hi there Jilly,
    I did actually burn about 9lbs of fat in a week, which I had double and triple checked by my gym with callipers and there fat measuring machine. When a did WW a couple years ago, I lost 7lbs in the first week, and by body looked no different, no change in inches. With this first week in IF (I was already exercising a little and eating well before), I lost 2 inches around my waist, 1 around my chest, 1.5 around my hips and I went down a full cup size.
    I was eating around 1200 calories a day, but also burning at least 600. There is a myth that you can, and should, only aim to lose 2lbs a week because any more than that is "muscle loss". That is exactly what it is, a myth.

    How did you lose 9lbs of fat during one week? You would of needed almost 32,000 calories of a deficit... eating 1200 a day and exercising off 600 a day won't give you that unless you have an abnormally high TDEE.

    I agree with those calling BS on the 10lbs of fat loss in a week... sorry but it's true. You can lose 10lbs of weight in a week but you can't lose 10lbs of fat in a week.

    In the post above you confirm you lost 9lbs of fat in the week... than you go on to say you probably didn't if you have better checks done because people challenged you on your claims.... if you make a claim be prepared to properly support it or don't make the claim.

    Eating 1200 cals a day and burning 600 is not healthy... also it's not a myth about losing no more than 2lbs per week. That is healthy and sustainable weight loss for the average person. The only time it's healthy to lose more is when it's your first week or two or if you are severly overweight.

    Learn about what you are claiming and learn what is healthy... Intermittent fasting is healthy if done correctly... eating 1200 and burning 600 is not the healthy way.
