    This whole thread has made me laugh so hard a little wee came out (not 10lbs worth tho unfortunately, or I would have a solution to suggest!)
    But I do hope the OP has got the message that this isn't possible in a healthy way?

    Oh my god - this is too funny for words - everyone at work wonders why I am snorting into my computer!

    ^^^THIS. Haven't seen the OP in this thread after her initial post. These responses are not what "pals" are supposed to do. :grumble:

    Amputate your legs.
    I have another suggestion...
    Try 1 lb per week and follow the MFP recommendations for steady, healthy weight loss.
    People who see weight loss as some kind of race fail.
    Don't join that herd. Good luck to you.

    I lost 30# in three weeks, but took three more weeks to lose the next 10#.
    I work 3rd shift and was eating all the time. Starting weight 284# and daily calorie intake was awg 7000.
    After eating my food for that shift, I would stuff myself with junk from the vending machines. Was drinking 24 or more cans of reg. pop per week.
    Now, I drink only 12 cans diet pop per week. I take no money to work, so I can't get into vending machines. Lots grilled lean chicken or tuna and fruits & vegs. My doctor calls it a no flour & no sugar diet.
    I want to slow my weight loss to 1-2 # per week per doctor orders.
    Great news is I need less high blood pressure medicine since I have loss 41#

    Maybe you can loose it if it's tight? Undo your belt.

    ^^Love it!
  • You simply don´t.
    There is no healthy way to lose 10 lbs in a week. It took me 5 weeks to lose 10 lbs.

    I personally can drop 2 dress sizes by flying to the USA.

    But you would gain 2 shoe sizes?! Might be worth the trade. :happy:

    The responses on here have been a lighthearted response to a question that in all seriousness, everyone already knows. If there was a healthy way to shed 10lbs of fat in a week then there wouldn't be a billion websites devoted to dieting!

    If I wrote on a runners forum "Hey could someone please tell me how to run a marathon in in under an hour" then I would expect a little ribbing

    Cut your sugar.... all the way... only get sugar thru natural sources... banana, strawberries and such... that would get you down very quick...

    Also, minimize the bulk of food and replace with snacks and low fat/carb dinner....

    Yes so people are telling her in a lighthearted manner

    What makes you think that she would feel more stupid with these responses than she would by a patronising "Actually dear, you can't healthily lose 10lbs in a week"?

    I know little about weight lifting so Ive asked some pretty stupid questions on the lifting forums and had plenty of ribbing. It's all in fun though so what's the harm?

    The only REAL harm to be done would be if she was given false information, or indeed, none at all!

    Don't believe there is such thing as a stupid question! we'll just have to agree to disagree! i think if she thought it was light hearted she would have come back to the post but she didn't and scaring someone away is not light hearted:0(

    Well I guess only the OP knows if she was offended by the replies, and if she was then I would definitely apologise and be suitably ashamed. Don't think she was though

    10lbs in one week? It is not healthy, but it can be done. The next week you will probably gain about three of it back but if you are aware then you can still keep moving forward.

    I lost nine pounds my first week of MFP. I am 5 foot 5 inches - lowest calorie intake daily for me is 940. I did this for one week with my protein, carbs, and fat set also. I had to go through carb withdrawal which was hard but I wanted to jump start my change and to see if I could do it.

    I ate 30% carbs, 30% fat, and 40% protein. I worked out for six days out of seven (40 mins of cardio for 4 days and the other two days was 20 min cardio & 20 min strength).
  • You definitely don't. At least you don't if you want it to be sustainable. You could lose 10 pounds by eating nothing and working out harcore every single day. And then gain at least half of it back the next week.
