That's not healthy, even if it were physically possible.

elaborate, pls

get real.

according to your theory, everyone here would be losing 20 pounds a month. i'm pretty sure everyone here eats right and drinks tons of water, and are still struggling one way or another.

according to your theory, i would weigh 100 pounds right now.

please educate yourself before claiming how sure you are of yourself.

Eeek! I can't lose that much in a month. I only have 25 to go. haha But I'll join your little group to see if I can lose 10!!!

And quit harrassing her! This is a SUPPORT board, not a harrassment board!

how can i support someone who's clearly misinformed? i asked for an explanation on how one can lose 20 lbs in a month and i didn't get one.

lame.

well if your doctor says so then you might as well go for it!!!!!!!!!!

best of luck lol

SERIOUSLY IM SICK OF THIS!
MY DOCTOR TOLD ME IT WAS PERFECTLY HEALTHY FOR A WOMAN OF MY AGE AND STATURE TO LOSE 20 LBS IN A MONTH

I'm sorry dear, but you *may* want to consider getting a second opinion from a totally separate doctor. I'm not trying to dog on your doctor or show any disrespect, but that really doesn't seem like it's healthy. Please don't take this the wrong way...
My brother is a physical trainer, and I have seen several doctors and weight loss specialists over the past few years (I've suffered from eating disorders as well...anorexia, bulimia...that kind of fun *kitten*) and not one of them have ever recommended that I lose more than 2-3 pounds a week.

And a little side note here...... water does not/can not 'flush out fat'....all it does is help wash out excess sodium in your body (and the extra sodium makes you retain water, hence the term 'water weight'..) And water weight only takes a couple days to lose after you increase your water intake and reduce your sodium a little bit. Then after that, it's gone as long as you keep sucking down water.

Some of the best advice I have ever been given was to just take care of my body and try to live in a more health-conscious way, and to just let any weight loss that comes be considered a "bonus" to living a healthier lifestyle. If you are able to change your mindset to reflect that piece of advice, you wouldn't even BELIEVE how your perspective of the entire world can change..

Best of luck to you. I hope you can find peace and happiness within yourself, no matter what weight you're at.

The way you guys went about it was demeaning and rude like you were talking AT her, not to her. This site is for support, information given in a comfortable setting and learning about yourself and what you put in your body. And you're still being rude and childish.

Anyway. To the point........ Neither the doctor OR the original poster sound misinformed. I think it can be perfectly healthy to lose that much a month if you are above 250. For me, it would be like I'm not eating if I lost that much in a month. Perhaps her doctor told her that it CAN be perfectly healthy to lost that much in a month. Don't knock it until you know the deets! That's all I'm saying. You could have been reasonable and told her nicely that losing that much in a month wasn't optimal for most people.

I don't think my post was demeaning or rude. I think I stated in a supporting tone that she may want to reassess her goals. I also looked at MarilynMarie profile and posts in other threads to get "the deets!"

Here's the details I found that make me very concerned about MarilynMarie's 20 pounds in 25 days goal:
-From Profile: She's a recovering Anorexic
-From "Do you eat all the 1220 Cal/day?? " thread "I will admit I BARELY eat 1000 calories and it is very bad aside from your body storing fat also you WILL binge I know I have"
-From "What's your New Year's Resolution?" thread "1. burn 10,000 calories a week"
-From Profile: "I have never loved myself and i would like to finally start"

I just worry this lofty goal combined with minimal calories and maximum exercise may trigger her eating disorder.

I don't think she means you I think she means the other too ladies who were going back and forth with her. I think you meant what you said in a meaningful way & wasn't trying to be rude in anyway!

I wasn't talking to you, obviously. I know you weren't trying to be rude. :flowerforyou:
