7lb in 7 days (yes, I know)

[nodogsinthebedroom]

Weighed myself this morning and I'm the heaviest I've ever been .

Yes, I KNOW crash diets are not a sustainable solution but I'm going on holiday next week, after which I'll be away on various trips for the next month, so the plan is the short sharp shock treatment this week, which will hopefully give me motivation to keep up with healthy eating over the holidays (plus plenty of walking etc) and thereby not turn into jabba the hutt by the time I get back in September.

So, it's 800 kcals/day, Jillian Michael's "Ripped in 30", loads of water and maybe some shitter tea.

Anyone with me?

I don't post much on these threads but as a medical professional I couldn't not.
Honestly guys, don't do this to yourselves- it's such a bad way to lose weight. Basically abusing laxatives (senna) will disrupt your body's electrolytes which can be dangerous and having such a low cal diet will push your body into a catabolic state, like starvation.
What disturbs me the most is the number of people posting healthy weights on here (I guess it depends on height to calculate BMI, but unless very short they are likely healthy weights) before they have even started losing.
I started healthy eating using Slimming World and lost 4lb in my first week- not endorsing that brand in particular, but something like it.
I know, your life, your body but I hope my post at least makes you think.

Newbiecat, thank you (genuinely) for your concern.

2nd Jillian Michaels workout done 😇

What's this tea everyone is on about ?! 😂

Yay nodogs!! Jillian Michaels is tough

I've been for a few walks......

Back up to 10st 4.2lb but I think my stomach's still full of the massive amounts of lettuce I ate yesterday & it's still on track for the 7lb so I'm not disheartened.

Sara - the link to the tea is on the previous page.

Walking is good slightly! How's it going otherwise?

Newbie I understand your concern, but the tea is an extremely mild laxative, and lots of people on the Weight Loss boards have safely and successfully followed the "blood sugar diet" which involves eating 800 calories a day for 6 weeks. If posters were attempting to stick to anything much lower I'd be concerned too, but 800 is perfectly safe for a person with average activity levels.

Jillian Michaels #3 done

Half a pound on - nooooo! I think my problem might be that I've been eating loads of veggies which I've been counting as a total of 50kcals no matter how much I eat. Will knock that in the head today and see how it goes tomorrow.

Jillian Michaels #4..

nodogs don't freak out about the half-pound, probably just a little bit of water retention or something! It'll even out.

Thanks for the support Quim - it really helps!

One pound off today, thankfully, so 10st 3.6lb. Three days to go!

Wow, you're almost bang on track for 7 in 7 then, that's seriously impressive!

Well, I was bang on track untill I got really hungry last night and ate a protein bar at midnight - doh!

Not posting my weight today, as I'm too ashamed but I WILL NOT GIVE UP. Even if I don't manage the full 7lb I can still get a bit more off before I go and then keep up with the healthy eating while away. And I already feel more toned from 5JM workouts in a row so that's a bonus.

Is anyone else still with me? How's it going slightly? Quim - are you losing weight too?

I need to lose 6 pounds by Tuesday...can it be done???!!

nodogs goodness, that can't have done that much damage, no need for shame!

I'm always losing weight Not with you on the 7-day sprint though, just cheering you on!

ohgodohgodohgod....

Do you know I had 2 weeks till my holiday? (Now only 1 week) So I've had a pretty relaxed attitude I've been eating All The Food with gay abandon

We go away in 6 days. I've not actually lost any weight.

Nodogs how you doing? Very impressed with the Jillian Michaels stuff. She's evil (but effective)

So today I have been good: just water and coffee till 3. Ate lunch and then tea with DCs at about 6. Lots of veg and protein and I had some grapes after tea for something sweet.
