    I hope I don't sound like a wet blanket, but I go for slow and more or less steady over X amount in X period of time. :) If you are able to lose 10 lb. in 10 days, it's likely a lot of that will be water, as it's pretty hard to undereat by 3500 calories a day.

    Maybe someone will have some solid advice for you, but I don't feel like it's a great goal - too hard to meet and therefore could be quite dissapointing, probably not all (or a high percentage of the total) actual fat loss, it may involve some pretty severe/restrictive methods and you have the rest of your life to eat and live, what's the rush? :)

    Again, that's only my POV. It's your body and you make your own decisions with it. Good luck with whatever you decide on.

    Take it off for 1 day or keep it off? At your weight, MFP will suggest .5 lbs per week to lose. Even if you lose at twice that rate - that would be 10 lbs in 10 weeks. Sorry, it's not going to happen in a healthy way.

    Why would you even want to do that?

    Yeah it's probably possible but you would likely look like you took a swan dive into a sharps bin and contracted 10 diseases.

    Should have thought about all this 5 weeks ago.

    You could drop water weight - but that'll come back on in 1 meal

    Actually aiming for fat loss, and not just scale manipulation, you might drop 2-3lbs Week 1/2 then 1lb a week each subsequent week .. giving you more like a 7-10 week timeframe

    How do you plan to be in a 3500 calorie deficit every day?

    And why the rush?

    I'm in the wet blanket club. They may do that on biggest loser but that doesn't make it healthy.

    Way too unhealthy a goal. Please do not try this. Lose at a slow steady rate and keep it off. Not advised.

    Also the people on the biggest loser are morbidly obese and have extremely high BMRs.

    OP, sorry. Weight loss is math. 3500 calories per pound. The only person on earth who can lose 10 actual pounds in 10 days is a person whose normal daily burn is 3500 calories (which yours is certainly not) and eats absolutely nothing for 10 days straight (and good luck to them with that)

    Otherwise, no. sorry. People who are telling you it's an unhealthy goal might want to point out instead that it is physically impossible.

    Maybe 3-4 pounds water weight and 1 pound true weight in 10 days. I give it 5 pounds max and only 1 of those pounds is a "real" loss.

    Unless you are considering surgery, it is not possible.

    Aww a "mean person" flag, I feel so loved. Seriously- people need to grow up. (Agreeing with, not upset with you, in case not clear).

    Every time someone gets flagged for abuse, I feel like I missed out on hardcore pornography, nudes or violence. As that's what the abuse flag is supposed to be for.

    The average human head weighs 10 lbs but I'm assuming you wish to keep yours.

    It is possible, but it isn't advisable. If you stop eating, you could lose 4-5 lbs of body mass and without having anything in your stomach, that's another 4-5 lbs that would disappear from the scale. If you don't drink anything the day before you weigh, you would dehydrate yourself enough to lose a few more pounds. But I hope you can see how dangerous trying something like this is. Our bodies aren't designed to go without eating and drinking on a regular basis.

    Your best bet is going to be the master cleanse (lemonade diet). You'll lose super fast but it will mostly be water weight and it will come back (or at least some of it).
