    sorry not doing it healthy. Why are you fixated on a silly number on the scale. focus on being healthy and how you fit your clothes.

    Is this to meet your June 1 goal?

    What is your current diet? How many calories are you 'allowed' to have? How many do you typically use? How much water are you drinking? Maybe make your food diary public.

    Good luck!

    This would be an artificial loss, food / water weight, that you would only gain back again, so why bother? You could probably lose a pound if you ate like you normally do and do 1 difficult workout, but wouldn't recommend more if you're not used to it.

    Eat virtually no carbs so no bread, cereal, rice just dark coloured veggies and lean meats for the next 3 days. You'll probably only hit 900-1000 cals a day but for 3 days it shouldn’t affect you permanently.

    Whats the big rush? Be careful, I want u to be healthy....well healthy or natural weightloss may come if you drink like 12 glasses of water a day, stick to your calorie count and burn about 600 calories a day...that will probably temporarily get rid of a couple of lbs of water weight...I dont know that 3 is possible without not eating at all and then still exercising....please dont do that!

    Less sodium intake so you do not retain water.

    Ideas: Whey protein powder mixed with unsweetened Silk Almond Milk; Dannon Lite & Fit yogurt mixed with 1/2 cup fat free cottage cheese - just some stuff I like to eat.:bigsmile:

    The only way I could lose 3# in 3 days is with a 72 hour stomach flu. :tongue:

    You're too close to your final goal to lose weight that fast. It's time to revise that schedule, and strive to lose a half pound a week, not 3 pounds in 3 days, or 4 pounds in 10 days. The close you get to your goal, the slower it comes off.

    Drink more water, eat less sodium and maybe you will lose some water weight.
    But there's no effective way to lose a substantial amount of weight in such a short period of time and keep it off.

    Don't beat yourself up over not meeting your June goal. Just take it for what it is and keep going.

    You have been on this site since November. You know better than this. 3 lbs isn't going to affect the way your clothes fit.

    I need to lose 3lbs in 3 days.
    No you don't NEED to lose 3lb in 3 days, you WANT to lose 3lb in 3 days and you can't. Not of fat anyway, and especially not so close to your goal weight.

    I'm afraid that your current goals are simply unrealistic, 3lb in 3 days, and you want to lose another 4lb between June 1st and June 10th? With only a few pounds to go, that's highly unlikely to happen. Half a pound a week would be a more realistic goal, or maybe a pound a week as you're getting such a lot of exercise.

    You've done brilliantly so far, don't make it harder on yourself just as you're coming to the end of this more restricted intake, and moving towards maintenance.

    I have to agree with TourThePast....I noticed your goals too. A realistic goal (and one that won't lead to disappointment) is one pound per week. To lose 4 pounds, you really need to give yourself 4-6 weeks. If you lose weight faster.....well then you'll be pleasantly surprised.

    While I'll say that it seems kind of silly to lose 3lbs in 3 days just to *see* the number on a scale, I must respect your choices and realize that it's your motivation and your WLJ....

    That said, try eating just fruit, veggies and lean proteins.
    LOTS of water

    Avoid sugar, alcohol, carbs, and sodium.

    Good luck and please know that when you follow a strict diet like this that your bound to gain a little the next week once you've reintroduced carbs and such back into your diet.
    Just something to think about.....

    Good luck!

    Bottle of Hollywood diet. Can buy at Walgreens. Drink that dilouted in half with water over two days and eat eggs, steak and green veggies only. kind of a body cleanse
