I know it is a lot in a short period of time. I already lost almost 25 lbs. Those lbs were lost from december to march, since then I am at the same stage. The reason I havent lost more than that is bc I was going through so much stress and I let go of exercizing and dieting. But at least I was able to keep those 25 lbs off!
I am going out of the country and I know my 5 weeks aways will be filled of beer, red meat and or fat foods... I know I will be eating more than I should. So I want to lose this 10lbs so I can be ok of gainning some back. Believe once I come back I will be back ontrack on calories and exercise!
What worked for you when you tried to lose a lot in a short amount of time?

    Well when I try to lose weight in a short amount of time I go on a water diet. No other drinks except water. I also go on a no bread diet. Drinking water only for 2 weeks made me lose between 2-5ibs and on a no bread diet for 2 weeks made me loose another 2-5 ibs. So you can always try that. You are basically losing "water weight". Its not dangerous but you shouldn't stay off bread for two long. I would slowly add bread to a maximum of 3 servings a day to keep that excess weight off. The water diet is a good diet because it keep your body clean of toxins. You can go back to drinking milk, soda, OJ and stuff after two weeks but keep it to a minimum, especially soda. Hope this helps

    Thank you guys for the ideas! I think I will try the only water diet thing..... and I may go down on the bread too.
    I think I need to stick to the same food too, that may help to stay within calorie intake!

    Def keep the water intake high as it'll keep you feeling full, I LOVE bread, but bread doesn't love me, if your body is simalar in it's reaction (i look pregnant!) then low bread would work well too :)

    Good luck!
