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 lost ten pounds after gallbladder surgery. Some of that was being sick for a week prior to it. Some of it was probably my gallbladder, too. Not a method I'd recommend, though.

If you lose 10 lbs in a week its most likely water weight and some if not all will eventually come back. If someone is losing 10 lbs a week they are probably more like over 300 lbs and hopefully talking to a doctor throughout the process.

How can I loose 5lbs a week?

By being morbidly obese, as in 300+ lbs. If you're THAT big then it'll come off at a rate of like 5 lbs per week for the first month or so before it starts to slow down. The fact is the less you have to lose the slower it goes. Nothing you can do about it.

I don't mean to sound like a douche but there is nothing you can do in the space of only a few weeks or even a few months that can undo what years of unhealthy living have done to your body. It's going to take a good long while. The sooner you accept that you HAVE to be patient about this, the better.

How can I loose 5lbs a week?

There is no guarantee that you will lose 5lbs a week. Just eat healthier, don't starve, and exercise. I lost 20 lbs by cutting out soda. Think about the crappy food you eat that you can do without. There is no quick fix to losing weight and the less you have to lose the harder you have to work to lose it.

You seriously dont want anyone to say anything negative, but you want to lose 10 pounds a week??? WTH? Look around at least a little. Pretend for a minute you are on a FITNESS and health oriented website and then ask a better question. I realize everyone has to start somewhere but C'mon!!!

I know slow weight loss is difficult, but the slower you loose it the better it will stay off!!! Exercise enough to make you really sweat everyday, and eat well. Eating as little as possible won't make you loose weight either. Figure out your target calorie goals for your current weight and height and then eat them all! 10 pounds in a week is madness unless you are obese. 5 pounds is a far fetched goal as well. Healthy weight loss is 1 to 2 pounds a week. It takes longer to do it that way, but your body will be happier if you do!

You don't understand, the HEAVIER you are the quicker you can lose.

I lost 20lbs in 3 weeks when i was 343lbs.

Quick weight loss doesn't work... Time is the difference from keeping it off and gaining it back. You honestly want to know the quickest way to lose weight? It's get sick.

If someone loses 30lbs in 3 weeks, or loses 30lbs in 6 months, who is most likely to keep it off? the one who has the "most practice" at weight loss, habits. It takes time to build habits, without habits you won't keep it off.

Same. I used to be 335 lbs. I lost the first 25 lbs in like a month. But then it started slowing down, and by the time I got into the range of 250 or so it started going at the rate people generally talk about, about 2 lbs per week.

You guys are awesome, but she is saying 30+ pounds is alot to lose. Completely different, unless I am reading wrong.

Liposuction. Here. I am a genius.

Hay everyone,

I know they say healthy weight loss is 1-2lbs a week but lets be honest who with 30lb+ goal really wants to loose weight slowly? Is is possible to lose 10lbs a week. I mean come on if your at a high weight of 200+ shouldn't your weight falling off in the beginning? Has anyone on here lost 10lbs in a week? Any advice anyone? Please don't post anything negative.

10 Lbs of actual fat..no, not possible considering 1 Lb of fat loss per week = 3,500 calorie weekly deficit....10 Lbs would require 35,000 calorie deficit or a 5,000 calorie per day deficit...which mean you would have negative net calories and would be dead in short order.

Also...I had 40+ to lose and have done it the safe, healthy, and slow way. In doing so, and in conjunction with my weight training, I haven't lost a single pound of LBM...all fat loss, no muscle.

People who lose rapidly...and/or have big losses in a week or two is due to release of a lot of water from shocking your body with a lower caloric intake...less calories, the less water your body needs to metabolize those calories. That's why a lot of people lose big early on...not very much of it is actual fat.

I've had a couple weeks over the last two months where I lost about 5 pounds in one week. but for the rest of the weeks a pound or two makes me happy. I've lost all of my weight since Dec 15th,

Pay close attention to these numbers, OP, and see why it's just not possible.
