How many pounds can I lose in two weeks?

[Toomuchcoffee83]

I know this has been asked a thousand times, but I need some motivation!

Big work event in just over two weeks, and I have put on about half a stone over summer. I am pretty slim usually, so just the small increase means none of my clothes fit and I feel so bloated.

I need to go the semi-starvation route for the next two weeks - is it realistic to think that if I keep to c.500 calories a day, I can get c.6 pounds off?

Yes you definitely can- I'd say maybe raise it to 800 cal though?
Just depends on your willpower 😬

You might do - early weight loss is a lot water.

I doubt it needs to be 500

And you can always go to a sauna at the end if you don’t quite make it 😁

Thanks for the responses!

I know 500 is low, but I think if i aim for that and accidentally go a little higher (for example, I've just randomly eaten some of the kids' left over spaghetti- why??!) that will give me some leeway.

I'm thinking things like miso soup for lunch, courgetti spaghetti with lemon juice for dinner etc will get me there...

Wish me luck!
