    Umm you're going to get a lot of "you didn't gain it in a week, why do you think you can lose it in a week?" posts...

    I got nothin' for you :/ sorry :/
  • That's a lovely thougth but if there was a quick way to do it, we wouldnt need MFP :o(

    Maybe get a bigger size. Just a thought.
  • Not sure that my experience will help you, but I can generally lose between 4 and 5 pounds in one week if I stay focused and disciplined.
    The first week of a weight loss plan can be the toughest or the easiest depending on the choices that you make and how your body adjusts to a new routine. The key is keeping it off so the clothes still fit. :>))
    In my experience, if I add a lot of cardio (run, bike, swim, breathe hard and sweat lots) and focus on eating 1200 calories per day (mainly lean meat, vegetables, egg whites, and low fat cottage cheese) success is attainable.

    I wish you the success!! Believe in yourself and your goals.

    nope. just get a bigger size.
  • Before you try anything, it's important that you are aware of the research and scientific evidence..... Look up Michael Mosley documentaries online. You can watch them for free: 10 things you should know about dieting, fasting, exercise. Then try some of his tips if you want.

    as others have said....there is no quick way....but this scenario should be motivation enough to get at a healthy weight (assuming you need to lose weight to begin with)

    Amputation. It's your only chance.

    You didn't say how much you have to lose and how fast. We talking 1-2lbs here, or are we talking 42lbs.

    Although the previous post is right "you didn't gain it in a week, you won't lose it in a week", there are some things you can do to feel lighter and look less bloated. Reduce your sugars, reduce your sodium (salt), eat lots of fresh veggies and drinks lots of water! Cutting out processed foods and eating lean meats and fresh produce will take care of this for you.

    Depends how much you need to lose.
    Just to button it.. but its tight.. maybe

    Lots of water... watch all your salt..
    people have been known to lose 5-10 lbs water weight on their first week
    but if you start eating like a pig again.. that will come back..

    Stay focused..
    water water water..
    if you can run. run at night..

    Good Luck!

    Get a bigger sized uniform for now, and focus on the long term. Change your lifestyle, if you crash diet, you will only gain it all again.
  • Exercise :D

    Just cut back on sugar and carbs and salt...you'll lose weight in no time. Drink alot of water and exercise too. You might drop a couple pounds but like others are saying, there is no quick way to lose weight. It takes time and perseverance.

    ^^^ Yep; quickest way to lose water weight is eat under 20g carbohydrates/day, and cardio like a mofo for a week. You won't lose much body fat %, and you'll be exhausted as F, but you'll have technically lost "weight".

    Spanx & whole body "fat-squeezers"

    Lots of laxitives & dieuretics

    No soild food - water, caffeine and protein shakes

    After that, start cutting off parts.....

    There is NO safe & quick way to shed weight that won't be back on in a few days of normal "living".

    So basically, get a bigger uniform :ohwell:
  • So from what I gather, you are basically looking for a miracle worker, in order to lose weight in a week. Don't worry everything and anything is possible if you keep those spirits high. Not very long ago, I was pretty much in the same situation when I wanted to fit into my wedding dress so I started working out, started eating a low carbohydrate and fat diet and surprisingly lost enough weight to fit into my wedding dress with minimum alterations. It wouldn't have been possible if I wouldn't have come across http://intergratedmedicine.com/, which gave a boost to my rapid weight loss plan in the most natural way.
