How do I lose a stone by Saturday?

Meant to diet. Forgot. And I like wine and carbs.

Maybe if I cut a leg off? Just knee to foot?

Cholera?

swallow a tape worm and wrap yourself in clingfilm for the rest of the week!

PickAChew · 12/09/2019 23:49

Head should do it.

I went on holiday recently for 5 days, despite dancing for many hours each day when I got home that evening I had put 2 stone on (in 5 days) - however wihh the travel I had b swollen ankes, when I got up the next day th e ankles had gone down and I had lost 1 stone, still pissed off about the other stone and have 5 lb still to get to my (already overweight) pre holiday weight! 😭😭😭😭😭 But anyway - I did lose a. Stone in a night

Following from that last post, you could actually lose some bloat, if not significant weight.

Then it’s just a matter of good hair, statement jewellery (next to your best feature) and off you go to the Ball!

I faced that thought earlier today, mourning my lack of weightloss in time for my birthday celebrations next week. Then I laughed at myself in the mirror, and told my gorgeous reflection how exciting it was to HAVE another birthday. Sure beats the alternative!

Have a fab time, you gorgeous creature...

Realise that the number on the scale will never tell you you look fab in that dress/top/pantsuit/skirt, take yourself to a mirror, look in it and tell yourself you look awesome. Own it. Life without carbs and wine is overrated. Have an awesome night!

Wavescrashingonthebeach · 13/09/2019 00:07

Fuck the scales. Fuck the dress size.
Wear something that makes you feel amazing, put on your best lippy, smile, perfume & earrings & just own life!

70sWitch · 13/09/2019 00:09

I dropped 2 stone by putting the scales on the stairs. Grin

Well. It's worth a try

Whoops75 · 13/09/2019 00:09

Drink 2L of water tomorrow and then start drinking champagne early on Saturday.

You'll be fabulous

When you stand on the scales hold your arms out horizontally and then let them fall freely under gravitational force stepping gently off the scales before they hit your side.

CanadianJohn · 13/09/2019 00:30

Use TWO scales. Stand with one foot on each scale, and take the average of the two numbers.

Do you breastfeed OP? It burns 500 calories a day, so if you are attached to your breast pump constantly and only eat lettuce you may be in with a chance.

SomeoneInTheLaaaaaounge · 13/09/2019 06:47

No need just buy bigger clothes Grin

rslsys · 13/09/2019 07:12

You could borrow my scales, they put me at a stone lighter than the ones at the Doctors . . .

WhoKnewBeefStew · 13/09/2019 07:46

Own it girlfriend!!! Grin

Userzzzzz · 13/09/2019 07:50

Have an Epsom salt bath- it’ll get rid of fluid.

ermwhatda · 13/09/2019 10:21

just scoop up the wobbly bits and cut them off with scissors

might sting a bit

smokeytoby · 13/09/2019 10:32

@360eyes your comment absolutely cracked me up!

I agree though, any food that's been sat around on the side, chicken if possible, reheat to lukewarm and let cool a few times, consume and then wait..... tah daaah!

LaurieMarlow · 13/09/2019 10:36

Spanx, sky high heels, great bra, your most flattering dress, big hair, awesome makeup. Posture, posture, posture.

Visually, thats a stone gone right there.

Enjoy Grin

You can buy tapeworms? Will it kill you?
