Is it possible to drop 2lbs (can be water) in time for new years Eve?

I'm 10st 5 (145lbs) I wanted to be 10st 3 for New Year's Eve then I got exactly a stone to lose for my New Years Resolution for 2012 to complete Wii Fit... which says I should be 9st 3 and BMI 22.

    Yeah it's possible, you just have to work for it!

    Yes it's possible! Keep your carbs on the very low side no more than 50g/day and increase protein. Eat very clean lean protein. Include some fiber and you should lose that water weight (about 2 lbs maybe more).

    It can't hurt to try - if your body cooperates, it's a win! If it doesn't, well, you're still that much closer to getting where you want to be. Go for it!

    for me from experience it is possible but it does creep back on just as fast!

    It wouldn't really be a healthy way of loosing weight as you should only do 1-2 lbs a wk, and like someone said it does tend to creep back on (speaking from experience here...sigh).

    I drink a lot of water so if I weigh myself right about 2 minutes after I wake up in the morning vs the middle of the day, I can easily fluctuate by a few pounds.

    Exlax and a water pill should do it.

    Cut out carbs for those 2 days to drop the water weight quickly. That can be up to 4 pounds for most people. It IS just water weight though, so keep that in mind - but that's all you can really realistically lose in such a short amount of time.

    All the advise given so far is good, can I add bathing with Epsom salts in the water? It helps to detox the skin and speed water loss. Only temporary but will work for a day or two. Good luck.

    I don't have a bath only a walk in wet room.

    I did make it to 10st 3 for todays weigh-in!... probably all gonna go back on again as TOTM is due next week!... but at least just for today I only got 1 stone to go!! :laugh:
