How to lose 6 pounds overnight...

Last night I was hit with a violent and miserable stomach bug where I spent more time in the bathroom than in my bed. I lost 6 overnight. Great weight loss plan! 🤣🤣🤣

*I’m aware it will come back as I start eating and drinking again.

**I’m not recommending intentionally getting sick to lose weight.

    I’ve done the same trick once. Another ”great” option is hitting a burnout that makes you lose both sleep and appetite... lost 9lbs in 2-ish weeks with that once. 0/5 stars, would not recommend.

    Hope you’re feeling better!

    LOL, when I saw the thread title I wondered if you were going to say "have a baby," because that's something my mom friends and I joke around about. You just have to gain 20-30 pounds first, before the 1-day big loss!

    I hope you feel better soon! Not that I have a preferred way to be sick, but stomach bugs absolutely feel "violent," and it's just so awful!

    I thought you were going to say you had the prep for a colonoscopy. I do hope you're better.

    I’ve never done it, but I gained 6 overnight last week. Exercised too hard. Body revolted.

    I hear amputation is good for rapid weight loss too. Only problem is you can play that card only so many times. 😝

    I used to live in a country with summer temperatures as high as 50C. Spent 30 minutes outside, lose 5lbs on the scale from dehydration. I thought of ways to package and sell this, but nothing came up to be honest.

    Food poisoning is great too. I lost 5 pounds in a day.
