Okay! This is it! How Can I Drop Last 10lbs in August?

I think you look great just how you are!!!

Just keep up the healthy eating, maybe up the protein and drink lots and lots of water

Lipo....,for 10lbs......he'll no.....some supportive people on here....not!!! Hope they dont post a forum needing advice one day, we can send the same advice straight back!!!!!

Jeez!!!!!

^^ right ?

Cassie, what was your helpful suggestion, exactly?

Not possible. Shoot for 1lb a week at most dont do it the unhealthy way.

Ive been waiting sooo long I would totally rather do it the "unhealthy way" just to get it done and over with....

Okay, you've had lots of advice from your many threads and now I know why you started so many. You wanted a quick fix. The fact that you just said this irks me. This site isn't for you and I'm not going to give you ways to hurt yourself.

I'd wish you best of luck but I'd be lying.

My sympathies to you and I think you should try pro-ana sites instead or just go get lipo-suction.

The rest of us that are willing to work for our success will be winning and happy with ourselves and our choices. :flowerforyou:

^^ such a supportive member ! Why even post this ?

Geezus. Get off your high horse already. Joy is an incredibly supportive and inspiring member who tells it like it is. She is not one to sit back and allow someone to harm themselves because they are so desperate to lose weight that they will resort to anything in order to do so. I wish there were more people on MFP like her.

Thanks to most posts. And for the other, who in the heck cares what I posted before??? This is today and this is what im posted TODAY. Yesterday doesn't matter people - it's what we do today and what we are gonna do in the future. I am trying to lose this gd weight and I AM doing everything right! Even messing up with cheat meals! Having cheat meals is still doing it right! My problem is patience okay! And yes I want a quick fix - doesn't everyone??? Like i said before, I've lost 15lb in 4 months. Why can't I lose 10lbs in 7 months now? Im impatient and frustrated. I just need people to push me to keep going! THAT IS WHY I MAKE MY POSTS AND ASK QUESTIONS!!!!!!!!!! YEAH WOOHOO!!!! YA YA YA YA YA YA!!!!!!! CALL ME CRAZY< CALL ME WHAT U WANT!!!!!! WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!! LMFAO!

Woah. Back away from the computer already... The last 10 pounds are incredibly difficult to lose. I have been working on my last 10 pounds for about 3 months, and I am still not there yet. Do I b*tch and moan about it? No. But, I do push myself to work harder and remain focused.

What good is racing to the finish going to do you? You will be at your goal weight, but you will have learned absolutely nothing about losing weight in a healthy and sustainable manner. And, using extreme measures in order to lose those last 10 pounds will undoubtedly lead you to gain all of that weight back. You have people here who are giving you sound advice and telling you to be patient and lose the weight the right way. Yet, you keep fishing for someone to coddle you and tell you that abusing your body in order to lose weight is okay. If you want to be ridiculous and unhealthy about the way you are losing weight, then so be it. But, don't expect the majority of us to support you in doing so.

:yawn: This again?...why bother? You never take any of the advice given, just keep asking the same question apparently hoping for a different answer.
:noway:

Methinks you broke it.

No no no. If you rush it you will fail, if not initially, then at least when you gain it back. Trust in the process. Keep up what you know works. Log your food. What are you rushing for??

So you're asking for unhealthy methods advice. That's not ethical for anyone to do and it's wrong of you to even ask.

You followed the advice for two whole weeks?

Q.F.T.

FFS, just stop.

You do realize that every single thread you have posted has been answered with sound advice that you refuse to listen to, right?

Maybe you should actually listen to the successful people around here for once.

Solid point.

And OP, I'm not saying you don't have the right to post these recurring threads...

...but you have received plenty of sound advice to your repetitive questions...

...and given that valid responses are arguably a finite resource...

...you may be depriving others of receiving good feedback to their requests for help.

Just something to think about.

CW 150lb in am/155lb in pm (each time i weigh in morning and night, they differ like this)
GW 140lb
31 year old female with type 1 diabetes and hypothyroidism - both controlled
Work in busy seafood retail 5 days a week. Look after 18 month old son all other times/days. He's fassstttt!!!!
Heavy lift 2-3 times a week. 50 crunches every 2nd day. (Squats 5x5 @ 60lbs, OHP 5x5 @ 50lbs, Rows 5*5 @ 60lbs, Deads 3*5 @ 110lbs, 10lb dumbs reverse fly, bench press 50lbs 5*5, trilats pulldowns 5*5 @30lbs.
I walk for 30 minutes 2-3 times a week. Sometimes I jog for 30 min once a week. On days off (2 a week) I swim at the beach.
I aim for about 1300 cals a day. At least once a week i go over to about 2400cals. Some days are a bit more high carb than others. I have protein at each meal (breakfast lunch supper)
I drink about 2 coffee and water with Mio (4 cups) per day

Note: This plan has been going on for about 2 months BUT, I've been having trouble with the eating part - prob not really at a deficit like i think I am.....

How can I tweak this plan to drop these last 10lbs in the month of August!!!!! - other than weighing and measuring and making sure I don't go over cals....

Stop trying to lose weight and accept your current (healthy) way. Start lifting weights to build your lean body mass and to make you appear slimmer. Eat at your TDEE for a couple of weeks and see what your weight does. That'll give you an idea of what to do if you are really determined to drop a few more pounds in the future.

PS with Type 1 diabetes you're probably on insulin right? (I'm no endocrinologist :laugh:) My recollection is that insulin is not weight loss friendly - the whole point of it is to drive glucose into cells and prevent breakdown of fat - many Type 2 diabetic patients started on insulin will often put on more weight for this reason. If your glucose levels are controlled and you are not putting on weight I think you've hit the jackpot here andits best to leave well alone.

I don't know your posting history but if it is true that you keep re-posting hoping for someone to advise you to make the wrong choices then you're on the wrong forum - you know what to do if you want to do it the unhealthy way. Feel free to disregard all advice and chart your own course.

Hi, More cardio is the only way you will lean out. You also have to remember muscle weights more than fat. You will weigh more but be leaner. Increase your cardio to 40 minutes a day. try something different like cycling or power walking. Up the cardio and I bet you will start to lose. Take care, Yvie

Well, I lost 5 pounds in a week from proper tracking. I track it ALL now and I eat pretty healthy, and I'm not starving. I work out almost every day and I eat almost all of my exercise calories back. Since this is my first week of truly tracking I suspect the next 5 pounds will be more gradual, but I'm shooting for 10 pounds in a month because I have spent the past year trying to lose 10 pounds. It's calorie deficit. I want to knock it out and finally get it done. Then I'll move my calories back up to maintenance.

You lost 5lbs in a week because probably at least 3 of it was water. I appreciate the underlying point of this post about accurate logging. But if you truly understand your caloric needs and were logging accurately on top of it, you'd realize how outlandish a legitimate loss of 5lbs of fat or even body mass in one week is. You would've been creating a deficit of 17,500 calories over the course of the week.

If you actually did this and are within 10lbs of your goal, you have way more important things to worry about than the number on the scale such as undereating, overexercising, and loss of lean body mass. You do understand that the closer you are to your goal weight the more important it becomes to lose gradually, assuming your body composition has also improved, to retain muscle. There is a difference between goal weight and goal body composition, people rarely understand the weight that corresponds with their goal body composition or even the best methods to get there. I understand "wanting it done" but at what cost, feeling sluggish, losing definition, letting the scale dictate how you feel? You honestly can't keep up such a humongous deficit, even 10,000 calories, over the course of weeks without some ill side effects.
