I once lost 7 lbs and 8 ozs in 6 hours one day in July. Then, a few years later, I lost another 7 lbs 6 ozs in 6.5 hours one day in April.

That weight is STILL hanging around, but now those pounds have pretty much taken on lives of their own.

I think I'm the only one that got that...hehehe

I lost 9lbs 9 in one day in 2004 and 8lbs 13 four years later. I win

I lost 7 lbs and 15 oz in 19 hours in 1993.

my advice is don't ask a question like that on here, you'll get your head bitten off - speaking from personal experience.

I'm trying to drop similar numbers for holiday and these are the rules im sticking to:
- lots of small meals space througout the day
- 1200 calories per day
- 30 mins exercise per day (not eating back the calories but if I do more than 30 mins I will eat them back until I have consumed 950 net so I don't slow my metabolism)
- stick to the MFP protein goal (this naturally seems to reduce my carbs)
- cut back on bread, pasta, rice etc but I still have them if I want so long as I stay within 1200
- In terms of exercise I really recommend jillian michaels 30 day shred. I do 13 of her videos on rotation every day but that would cost a lot, so the 30 day shred has 4 workouts in so that's the best value option and really works you.

I really like this advice. It rings right and thinking back makes sense with stuff that's happened to my eating. Plus it's non-judgemental.
Can we be friends? :flowerforyou:

Yer all so helpful on here it's so great. I'm realising now that starvation mode (1200cal or less) is not going to work! Just going to move more not go over my calorie allowance not restrict myself either or I won't last ill be right back to where I started !
