Ok so I train hard eat healthy and snack on weekends (not binge) my weightloss is about a pound a week sometimes 2!! Am going away in 3 weeks and I'd like to lose 7 poubds before I go not just for looking wise just so I know I can enjoy myself and atleast gsin a few pounds y on holiday and not feel guilty!!
Anyone have better ideas then me? I eat 1200 calories a day at moment and burn from 350 to 500 calories a day training
Please don't judge am not starving myself or being unhealthy I eat 3 meals a day and have 2 snacks all healthy most of them time.

Drink plenty of water and just watch what you're eating when it comes to snack, best bet cut out soda if you already haven't. I did thazt and just the past week have lost 8lb, no lie. I spend about an hour on the treadmill walking and running a day and eat 1200 calories or less a day also.0

Lots of water. Low sodium foods. Cardio.
Now, do you eat back your exercise calories? If you're eating only 1200 daily, then you really need to eat at least some of them back. That's a very low number.
BTW: Not judging. When I started out, I was eating 1000 daily. I stalled out pretty quickly, and realized that my body just needed more food.0 -
How close are you to your goal weight? The closer I get, the slower my progress is.0

I don't usually recommend this, but for short term weight loss lower your carbs a bit. Research shows that's the fastest (not the easiest.)0
-
Increase your water intake and add another 30 minutes of heavy cardio to your workout routine. That should help get you where you need to be.0

I'll send you a friend request! I'm doing the same thing with similar goals aiming for about 2.5 or 2lbs a week - we can help motivate each other?0

Yes please that would be great :-)!!0

Thank you everyone I'm stil away off my goal weight easily by 2 stone ( but if am honest I don't wanna be that tiny my muscle weighs alot heavier and am happy tonning being healthy and curvy as my pic shows I don't suit being at my goal weight as iv bin there before and looked far to thin :-( x
P.s I love carbs my down for :-( and I only drink diet soda on weekend 1 can on Saturday 1 Sunday other then that am a water freak :-)0 -
I think this is fine. I would try to not eat much fat and go for whole grains and high protein at mealtimes to keep hunger at bay and metabolism up. Only eat when hungry and have apples or carrots for snacks. All you need is motivation which I haven't got.0

Cut out all soda for the 3 weeks you want to do this. Be very faithful to eating clean and keeping within your calories. It's only 3 weeks. Also do some really intense workouts, not just minutes on the eliptical or treadmil, I'm talking HIIT (high intensity interval training) in 20 min you can do a better workout than 60 min on the eliptical or treadmil. Look it up HIIT not HIT but HIIT.0

That's fantastic but never in my life have I lost 8 pound in a week :-( x0 -
You're looking at this all wrong. Don't get obsessed with the numbers so short-term. Take the 3 weeks and get on the right track with healthy diet and exercise habits, and then you'll be able to enjoy yourself guilt-free all the time.
Crash-dieting off 7lbs is not going to magically make you feel better, after your holiday you'll be back, angry that you've undone 3 weeks of misery.0 -

This, plus crash dieting will make you lose mainly water weight, which will come back the second you go on vacation and enjoy your first bite of non-crash-diet food.
I'd rather continue losing at a normal rate and not turn into a blowfish on day two of vacation.0 -

Agreed and I treat vacation for what it is a vacation... I still get my workouts in but relax on my diet, I may come back a few pounds up on the scale but I enjoyed myself and once I am home it is back to business as usual.... Best of Luck0 -
Have you considered moving up to maintenance for the time you're gone? It should give you more calories to work with and help minimize gains.0

Hi Thank you for your comment but I have dieted all my life I eat healthy and exercise right (for my own reasons I wanted 7lb weight lose in 3 weeks as I once had a really bad bulimia addiction for many years) this is my first holiday since I actually became clean of the addiction and I'm terrified I could go down that road again!!!0 -
