How to loose 1 pond a day

just put the pond on the kerb of your house with a sign on it that says 'giveaway'

I wouldnt set myself such targets though, it sets you up to fail. Just go for a couple of pounds a week and be HAPPY with your progress!

Your goal is pretty unhealthy and not a wise goal. You can't sustain that kind of loss. The 8.4 lbs lost in the beginning are mostly water weight.

I'd advise that you reconsider and that you set goals that are realistic. I'd recommend trying for 1 to 2 lbs a week.

1 pound a day = 3500 deficit A DAY. Say you burn 2000 a day normally. You'd have to workout for 4 or 5 hours to burn an additional 1500 calories and eat NOTHING.

A pound a week is a much more realistic and healthy goal.

Find someone who has norovirus or rotavirus and acquire their germs! You'll barf your brains out for three days and come out weighing 10 pounds lighter. It totally worked for me a couple weeks ago! Of course, you'll be weak, achy, feverish, suffer from muscle cramps and a racing heart - all side effects of the dehydration and electrolyte imbalance. End/sarcasm

Honestly... there is no real way to lose a pound a day other than by severe dehydration or really extreme amounts of exercise. I know you want to lose quickly, but please be safe and healthy and set reasonable goals.

Sweetie - you might see that on the Biggest Loser, and people that are that large might lose that much in a week, but they are on a ranch being fed a special diet and working out like 6 hours a day. It's normal to lose 1-2 pounds a week. And the good news is that when you lose it like that and make lifestyle changes you keep it off. Fasting or purging or other crazy methods of losing weight just set you up and the weight comes right back.

Tape Worm!

That's about the only way it's going to happen outside of quitting your job and working out full time and eating very little. A pound/day is a VERY unhealthy goal. The people on Biggest Loser do it, but we don't see what happens behind the scenes. They really don't lose weight the healthy way, many of them gain it back, and they are under constant doctor supervision.

I'm not even going to say "good luck" on this one because it's foolish to even attempt on your own.

Not healthy at all. You will have to do some serious damage of your body to even attempt losing that kind of weight.

It's not a race, you should think about losing 1-2 pounds a week. What you lost in that first week was most likely a bunch of water weight.

If you want to get healthy and teach your son to be healthy, losing a pound a day is definitely not healthy!:ohwell:

I hear the human head weighs 8 pounds...you could surpass your goal!

I hear cocaine helps.

*PLEASE don't anyone take me seriously*

This CAN'T be a serious post.

Wow! You have 7 ponds? I'm sorry they're so tight. In order to loose a pond, I would let the dam go.
In order to lose 7 pounds however, I would follow the advice given above.

lol!!!!

Fantastic answer. Here is my adagio.

Go here and calculate your water weight. Subtract the 9 lbs you already lost. See if there is any room left. Everything is approximation but it will give you an idea.

If you decide to go ahead follow the advice with the sodium and keep in mind that you won't lose water at the same speed.
Try to drink as much as possible water every day. Lots and lots. This is going to flush the water out of your muscles.
I just wanted to remind you that this is not a real fat loss. It is just a trick to reach your goal. As my predecessor said it is going to come back.

Please keep in mind that you cannot go beyond 7-10% dehydration from the total body weight (BW = 200 lbs -> 10% dehydration is 20 lbs). Everything beyond that point is risky.

so this is week two for me and Im trying to loose 7 pounds in 7 days to hit my weigh in goal on Friday. Does anyone have any tips on how to loose about 1 pound a day without starving yourself. My first week I lost 8.4 pounds but that was probably beginners luck so I'm sure this week will slow down. Anyways I just want advice on how to keep the momentum going thanks!!!

It might be a better idea to eliminate weight goals and dates, as it puts undue pressure on you to lose X amount by a certain date and if you should fail it gets people down.

If it was that important to you, you could manipulate your water balance throughout the week by messing with your sodium and water intakes, but it will all come back after
