    Go get a colon cleanse. I hear you can drop about 5lbs of waste from it.

    I have about 4 feet of hair.... was thinking of cutting it off to lose some weight fast :smile:

    Don't be disappointed by a number, maybe evaluate some things you weren't able to do at your last appointment. How far you can walk, or how fast. How many pushups, or whatever routine you have been working. Weight loss can be slow, getting fit seems to give faster results that you can concentrate on, brag about, and be proud of!
    Thanx!.. i am able to walk longer!

    unless your doc has a gun to your head I don't see the need to impress him/her. That being said, I once shed 12-14 pounds of water weight in about 6 hours of hard work. Lots of rigorous exercise in a sauna with my body slicked down in baby oil and wearing a sweat shirt over a black trash bag. Taking several doses of laxative helped too.
    WOW..well no gun to my head, just I need the motivation.. im not stressing too much about it, not like that.. just wanted to be there by then. ive been struggling to get out of 200's for about 3 months now

    I don't really think cutting weight is THAT bad for you. Throw on a pair of sweats, hop on a treadmill, and do interval training for an hour. Then soak in a sauna for 20-30 minutes after that while keeping a careful eye on if you feel light headed or anything (obviously stopping if you do). Do this an hour before you go to the doctor. Voila, 6 pounds lost. Just make sure you rehydrate slowly and consistently immediately after the visit, and don't attempt if you have any kind of heart condition. Folks do it all the time in weight class sports.

    Is it the same as actually losing weight? Of course not. Are there ways of cutting weight that are extremely dangerous and can cause you bodily harm? Yes. But if you do it safely it feels good, and sometimes you just need a kickstart. You're talking about 3% of your BW, and the rule of thumb I always went by was no more than a 5% cut. That's my $0.02, though I am biased because I had to cut weight a lot when I was competing in Judo so it's very normal to me.
    Thanks alot

    Fish and steamed vegi's for dinner and lots of water, no sodium, very low carbs and you might lose 2-3, depending on your current weight. It will come back as soon as you add carbs and sodium back.

    The day before take a water pill then follow up with ducolax. You will be clean as a whistle and probably down six pounds.
