10lbs a week???

No, not possible at all. Even when morbidly obese when it just "falls off" in the beginning, 10 lbs of week is impossible. That's more like 5 lbs a week.
I will contest that-- at my highest weight, I was almost 300 pounds. When I decided to get serious about watching what I ate, all I did was cut back on the snacking, and I shed nearly 40 pounds in less than a month. (And it was February too, so it was more like three weeks.) I lost 20 more the next year, and then gained it and lost it about four times, but I never gained back that sudden loss. It "fell off" and I couldn't be happier that it stayed off!0 -
In regards to the lipo idea ...........
That won't work either. They pump you so full of fluid when you have lipo, then they suck out the fat with the fluid, then you are UBER swollen for at least a month (weighing much more from the swelling) to the point you can only get your sweatpants on, and then when the swelling goes down, sometimes you are the same as before the lipo. POUT!. Except you're 4-thousand dollars lighter.0 -
I had pneumonia once and lost 20 pounds in 2 weeks, but that was extreme.
The first week this time I lost 10.8 pounds but some was water and I haven't lost 10 pounds in a week since. I do however on average lose 4 pounds per week, but I am a guy with a pretty fast metabolism.
The females on biggest loser don't even average 10 pounds per week. They are probably closer to 5 or 6 pounds a week and they have the best environment to lose the maximum amount of weight in a short period of time.
And it is difficult to lose weight at a slow rate, but you gained it at an even slower rate.
If you can't maintain the way you are eating now to reach your goal weight, then how can you possibly expect not to gain it back. You have to make some life style changes in order to be successful in the long run.0 -

There's always one...
As everyone else says though, this kind of weightloss is not normal, or typical or to be expected. And it only happens when there is a lot of excess in the first place. Well done for keeping that original loss off though ramberta- keep up the good work

I SO agree with Brett! Why do we feel the need to disagree with someone just because s/he is wrong? It doesn't make any sense. I mean, shouldn't we just agree to be nice? I think that's a commandment.Sorry for all the rude responses. You should absolutely stick to your goal of losing 30lbs in 3 weeks. No one here can say that's unhealthy or dangerously stupid. They aren't doctors. Everyone is different. And real life is pretty much the same thing as a reality show where people are paid to lose weight.
Some of you people need to follow the guidelines as set forth by MFP. WHATEVER anyone says is good for them. Accurate information that would lead to sustainable weightloss and good health is all poppycock. What matters is being supportive of everyone.
Good luck to you!0 -
yes it's possible people on my favorite show (the biggest loser) i know some people on here don't like that show for some reason but they do it all the time and i won't be ashamed to say i myself have lost 15lbs in one week but i was on diet pills when that happened. i know they are not good for you as well but to answer your question yes it can be done.
Keep 'em coming folks! More healthy diet advice!!
So far we've got
1 Eat only apples for days
2 Drink only juice so you can temporarily lose weight
3. Take dangerous pills
Any more of this good advice floating around? I'm trying to be a new man and be supportive.
My record's 12 kilos in 12 days!
Not sure if that helps anyone, but hey, just putting it out there.0 -
1. No Attacks or Insults and No Reciprocation
a) Do not attack, mock, or otherwise insult others. You can respectfully disagree with the message or topic, but you cannot attack the messenger. This includes attacks against the user’s spelling or command of written English, or belittling a user for posting a duplicate topic.
b) If you are attacked by another user, and you reciprocate, you will also be subject to the same consequences. Defending yourself or a friend is not an excuse! Do not take matters into your own hands – instead, use the Report Post link to report an attack and we will be happy to handle the situation for you.0 -
I think by negative she means the people who are commenting on her spelling and telling her to cut off limbs. Some people are talking to her like she's stupid instead of just giving her information. Not everyone knows everything about weighloss and mocking her question will not help her learn.
humor is allowed in the world, some people have more than others, hence all the misunderstandings.0 -

You can lose about 8 pounds doing an apple cleanse (only apples, as many as you want, for 3 days) but a lot of it will come back. But it's supposed to rid you of toxins.
You can lose about a pound a day doing a juice cleanse (home-made veggie and fruit juice, and nothing else) but some will come back.
Now we're talking. Some helpful advice. Eat just apples, watch your protein take a nose dive, and quickly lose weight (and a lot of muscle) in a temporary way.
Or just drink juice and lose weight quickly only to watch it come back. Again the muscle you lose will be replaced with fat. But hey for a few days the number on the scale will be lower! And that's what we're all after.
Hopefully we can get a few more of these suggestions and less of this "eat right, exercise" nonsense. Ain't nobody got time for that!
LOL, I would hire you.0 -

I have all the humor in the world and still see a lot of these comments as bullying. So lame how there a ton of excuses for all the bullying going around these days. Whatevs.....to the OP....this is exactly why I dont post that much....people use the internet as an excuse to be a complete a s s of themselves and think its okay.0 -

When I lost 80lbs quickly I was losing 8-9 per week for 3 weeks in the middle of it. But I understand now my body was eating as much muscle as it was fat and it was a very unhealthy way to lose weight.0

uhhhhhh.. I hate to bring math into this, but February is EXACTLY 4 weeks, not "more like 3 weeks".No, not possible at all. Even when morbidly obese when it just "falls off" in the beginning, 10 lbs of week is impossible. That's more like 5 lbs a week.

you say mocking people's English, I say correcting spelling. Both helpful and informative. Others are surprised that someone would post such a ridiculous question when you could easily do a quick google search or a little research to find the answer. If anyone is mocking anyone, it's her mocking the people out here who are serious about losing weight and keeping it off.
The cutting off limbs comments were clearly jokes.0 -

Stop tossing around the word bullying. Bullying requires 2 things:
1. Children
2. A power imbalance.
there is by definition, no bullying on mfp

Just because you know something doesn't mean its common knowledge for everyone. How do you know she isn't serious about losing weight? Why is the question ridiculous? Is it because everyone should know how much weight they can lose and how fast? I don't think she asked to hear a joke. I think she really wanted an answer to her question. If you don't agree with the question, don't comment.0 -

It doesn't really matter. Either way, I don't really believe you. And you don't care that I don't believe you. So again I say, it doesn't really matter.0 -
I can only assume there are a lot people here feeling fussy because they're craving carbs or something. I'm going to just choose to believe a collection of normal adults wouldn't act like such *kitten*.0

nothing more obnoxious than when OP deletes the post!

I've lost 10 lbs in a week doing the stupid lemonade fasting. That was before I learned the more sustainable diet and workout lifestyle. As soon as I stop fasting and eating just normal meal, it shot back up 15 lbs!
No one should try that. It's not worth it.0 -
Even when I started at 373 pounds, I only lost 5 pounds in a week 4 times over a year. My average weight loss was 2.5 pounds a week over 20 months. I have still ended up losing 200 pounds in 22 months and still have a little more to go.
It is realistically only possible to lose 1 pound of fat per day at most, anything more will be fluid/water. It won't last though and not everyone can do it and it would require a lot of hard work. Most I lost in one month was 18 pounds a couple of times. 14 pounds was more common.0
