    If you can survive on, say, 500 calories a day, it's possible.

    That's a LOT of weight to lose in a week, unless you're carrying a lot of water weight.

    Yeah, to lose that much it would have to be water (mostly), but still....drink tons of water and get lots of fiber and if nothing else you will look and feel better at the end of the week even if the five didn't come off. Good luck but be safe!

    You're chances would be very high if you weren't looking to lose only 30-something pounds. I would lose 5 pounds in a week occasionally at the beginning because I started out 170 pounds overweight. :\ Honestly, if you were to lose five pounds in one week, it'll probably be mostly from water.... Meaning that you probably won't look any different, clothes probably won't fit any better. You might as well stick with 1-2 pounds a week.

    But, hey, you sure can try if you want. Just don't starve yourself. :)
