Get food poisoning. No fancy diet or exercise plans required...just you, your toilet ( or yard), and a trash can. Why both? Well sometimes you'll have the unfortunate side effect of "coming out both ends". It's just temporary though! Your body will be empty and your every muscle will feel the burn after just a few hours!

Note: The above material was sarcasm. Please don 't voluntarily do this to yourself. I made noises I'd only heard previously at the zoo....

(Feel free to laugh at my expense or share your horror stories)

    I dropped five pounds last time and remember thinking in the middle of it all NOT WORTH IT!!! Ugh, it's awful. I was so weak a few hours in that I remember thinking "I need to call someone to come help me... but I won't be able to crawl the 10ft to open my front door"

    I tried that once. I got poisoned by my favorite Mexican dish ever-- chiles rellenos. I didn't eat them at all for YEARS after that. I think I'll stick to calorie counting and slow weight loss (knock on wood!)

    Oh yes, that's brought back memories! A dodgy egg mayo bap. Was sick for two days. I was really relieved that I could sit on the toilet and reach the wash basin to be sick in at the same time! I lost 7lbs the first day but soon put it back once I was well again.

    I got food poisoning once - I threw up every 2 hours for the first 6 hours (midnight to 6am) apparently my puking was so loud that I woke my flatmates up each time. In between bouts I would lie in bed and shake til I drifted off. Around 6am my body had decided it was all out and I started to get thirsty - however my body couldn't even keep water down and I kept throwing up the water I was trying to drink. I finally got some medication from the pharmacy at around 11am and some rehydration things - it took two whole days to replace all the fluids I had puked up and I felt hungover the whole time.

    I was supposed to start two new part time jobs that week - needless to say I missed my first day for both of them

    It was a dose of norovirus that got me started on the weight loss track again this time. I got it in Feb 2012 and "lost" 9lbs in a week-end. Thought "I might as well use this flying start..." and went from there. So sometimes good things come out of bad ones.
    Edited to add - hope you're feeling better really soon!

    lol! So true.

    I hope you feel better.

    My husband had food poisoning one time and he thought he was dying. He was just laying in the middle of the hallway with a blanket shaking after it came out both ends. It was terrible.

    I had the norovirus 2 weeks ago. It helped me lose my last 3 pounds, and they've stayed off:)

    Diverticulitis works much better. Just before Christmas 2011 I got hit with that and spent 5 days in hospital. Lost 20 pounds. I DID NOT manage to keep it off though.

    Oh I feel your pain... I hope you feel better, soon. I've had a few unfortunate bouts of food poisoning (always stop eating out at the places I get them...) I'm always camped out in the bathroom for the duration. Horrible experiences. I really hate those times it comes on in the middle of the night and you sit straight up in bed and it happens!

    However NOTHING compares to whatever stomach bug when through our house (and kids' elementary school) spring of 2012. It came and went in everyone else in a day or two. I had it for a week -- by the end I was terrified because I surely should have went in to see a Dr at the very lest but I didn't have insurance (stupid reason, I know) it was a scary, scary thing. I couldn't kick it and I couldn't keep fluid in for anything!

    What you describe is classic norovirus - it rampages through schools. Nasty!

    Aha sounds like you guys have had fun times as well! The tornado sirens were going off while my head was buried in the toilet and I was just thinking, "LET IT END MY SUFFERING!"

    We started charting and wrote that I puked 25 times in 4 hours. I've had food poisoning before but never that violently! I think I got a hold of a bad piece of cantaloupe @_@
