[Closed] Lose 2 stone in 6 weeks?

answer me this: do you [b]need [/b]both legs?

Amoebic dysentery should do the job

Surgery?

Realistically for it to be healthy at best you'd be looking at 1 stone in six weeks, although it will likely depend on how overwieght you are to begin with. I'm looking at losing around the same amount of weight but I expect it to take 12-18 weeks.

If your starting weight was 20 stone, maybe

If your starting weight was 12 stone, then not without amputation 🙂

idiet.....no manmade stuff like bread, buns, pastry, biccies. no bulky carbs, loads of veg and salad, plenty of pulses, loads of water.

I managed it.

5'11

15 stone

GSOH

Blue eyes

oh...

and

no willpower

no self control

no motivation

are you worried you wont fit into your wedding dress?

Undiagnosed tonsilitus caused me to lose two stone in about a week.
I think the terrifying hallucinations came in about day 5, with near death on day 7.
I wouldn't recommend it. 🙁

Wouldn't recommend it, at that rate you would be losing muscle mass and doing damage for sure.

a bit

A contestant on 'The Chase' last week claimed he had lost 5 stones in 10 weeks on a diet where you are not allowed to exercise.

no willpower

no self control

I've lost a stone over the last month, was quite easy with, willpower, self control & motivation.

Can you tell me where I can get these from?

Water and laxatives, the ipoop diet.

A set of scales and a mirror is a good place to start.

It probably [i]can[/i] be done. However, I'd suggest it's probably not a good idea. 2lb/wk is a bit more realistic.

I quite often lose 2 stone the morning after a hot curry. #godblessmytoilet

Smash the mirror with the scales, and use shard to cut off leg. Got it.

Someone hold my beer, I'll be right back...

I've lost a stone over 4 weeks (5"10'/14 stone/36" waist walking doughnut) without superhuman motivation/willpower/discipline etc. The best advice I would give is this: do not treat weight loss as a short-term goal. Think about it as a long-term change in your life as you will be able to maintain and build upon it.

Specifics don't matter too much, pick a diet which doesn't involve eating rats or giving up everything you love for a stick of kale, then pick a physical activity you don't hate, make a decision to stick with it for at least two months and observe the results. As far as exercise is concerned I've found the best setting for me was going to classes, far easier having someone shout at you than trying to be your own drill sergeant. Hope this helps.

I am 5 10 and went from 76.6 Kg to 68.7 Kg in 5 weeks. Was surprisingly easy just by going lower carb/higher fat and staying away from processed food. I think " stone in 6 weeks sounds a bit much though

So 1 stone in 4 weeks is do-able but hard work....

I'm off to celebrate this news with a some cake!

Would it not be easier just to gain some height?

My wife lost a stone in January: Slimming World with pretty much zero 'syns' each day. She said it was dead easy.

We were looking at what I ate on Saturday and I ate/drank more than 100 'syns' 🙂

I am 5 10 and went from 76.6 Kg to 68.7 Kg in 5 weeks

Apologies if this is too personal a question, but why the need to go from 76 to 68 at your height? Isn't 68kg bordering on underweight?

I'm about 5' 9" and look a bit scrawny at anything under 70kg, although admittedly that's the weight I tend to sit at when i'm pretty fit.

Apologies if this is too personal a question, but why the need to go from 76 to 68 at your height? Isn't 68kg bordering on underweight?

I'm half an inch taller, and only about 68kg. My BMI is 21.3; if I was 80kg I'd be overweight.

Aye, I suppose everyone is different and a chart doesn't tell you much, I was looking at it too simplistically.

Last year, I weighed about 74kg, but my bodyfat was 12% (lowest it's ever been). When I eased up on the fitness front, my weight [i]dropped[/i] to 70kg and my BF went up to about 17%.

I recommend the Peanut M&M's diet. A family pack every 4hours should do it.
By the second day you will be so sick of them it'll put you off eating for 2 months.

HTH 😉

Isn't 68kg bordering on underweight?

So it's still 'healthy' then? Daft question.

Why is it a daft question? I've just not come across a scenario where someone (well ok, a man) has undertaken a weight loss diet to get down to a weight bordering on underweight. There was no malice intended, was just curious as to the reason (e.g racing weight, aesthetics etc)

I would say so, I can fairly easily lose a stone over the course of seven days by doing a seven day juice diet. Check out www.juicemaster.com it worked for me and as long as you keep eating healthy after it the weight stays off.

Really? Brad Wiggins is taller than me, but lighter. He diets specifically to get his weight down.

See the part of my post that you didn't quote 🙂

Boom! Stealth edit! 🙂

I could put on 2 stone of fat and not be overweight, but I'd rather not.

I lost a stone in 8 days with epic food poisoning, try that. Id recommend bella Italia 🙂

i went from ten and a half stone to nine and a half! I did not look healthy

I've lost a 1 stone in just under a month - stopped eating any biscuits, cakes, bread, pasta etc

Currently at my heaviest ever @ 15st 🙄 put on 1/2st last year and struggling to shift it...

2 stone = 44,000 calories.

If you need 2000 a day and ate nothing, you'd loose that in about three weeks.

So, restrict yourself to 1000 calories a day and go at it for the 6 weeks, you could pull it off but I bet you'll look crap.

The commonly held figure is 1lb fat = 3500 calories. So 98,000 for two stone. However, I think you also lose fluid mass, muscle etc on a rapid diet so if prob isn't that accruate. But a lot more than the estimate above.

Also, 2000 calories would be low for someone of the size of OP.

On how too lose weight quickly, sorry can't offer any advice

It was night shifts which also helped tbh. Never again, i've got the body of an Ethiopian child.

6 weeks? Tough. 8 or 9 weeks doable. I've done it 3 times. Starting from 16 or 17 stone and going to 14 1/2 stone over a two months bike tour. Or half a pound per day.

So for me the recipe is 6 hours cycling a day every day combined stopping eating cheese and chocolate. I probably ate meals less regularly and didn't snack much but didn't hold back when I ate. 12" Subways were a typical meal when I could get them. Or a big diner breakfast. A can or two of beer most nights to rehydrate. I tended to only eat one big meal a day though.

I seemed to get to about 14 1/2 stone then stop losing weight at which point my ribs were showing and I couldn't feel excess fat anywhere but height weight charts still said my BMI was verging on overweight (at 6ft3)

a couple of years ago I had a bowel infection, that meant I lost 3 stone in a week ( went from 16st down to 13st). plenty of excess lard went but also a fair bit of muscle as my body digested itsself.
tbh I wouldnt recommend the amount of weight loss your looking at in anything les than a couple of months.

It should be possible to do it if you really put your mind to it, especially using something like the juice diet but the chances of keeping it off after you go back to normal are pretty slim.

go for a 1 week holiday in egypt every 2 weeks. i lost so much weight from having to simply drink water plus a boiled sweet as anything else came out , top and bottom.... i seem to remember losing about 3kgs in 5 days....

Broken heart or food poisoning diet

I lost about 2 stone with a combined viral and bacterial infection. Lie in bed for 2 weeks barely moving, don't eat anything, although you're allowed the occasional sip of water. I had bugger all fat on my before I was ill and my muscles all wasted away/were metabolised. Not particularly healthy way of losing weight though, and the body will naturally metabolise muscle over fat in this situation, so you won't exactly be toned at the end of it if you were a little overweight to begin with.

Here's me looking veritably fat by comparison recently (5'10", 62kg) 😆

*molgrips to the thread*

So the key is:

Is doesn't matter what you eat, just [b]eat less and move more?[/b] 😉

Yes, or if you take it to the extreme, eat nothing and don't move at all 😆 *

Cheers, Rich

*may not be an entirely recommended method of safe or sustainable weight loss

I want to keep the muscle though, they work quite well. It's had years of powering 15 stone up hills.

Seriously, my body is like a weird cut and shut.

Top half = Bernard Manning
Bottom half = Chris Hoy

Keep the muscles and ditch the ballast and I'd be like some kind of overpowered freak!

You would need a daily calorie deficit of 2,100 for the entire 6 week period. If you can manage that, you deserve to lose the weight, frankly.

Where is molgrips?

I went for the long term drop in portions approach. The idea to lose 1/2 stone a year.
Did most of the portion control over winter, as I wanted to enjoy food and drink over the summer and I knew I'd need to eat to keep racing and enjoying long rides.
The weight kept off regardless of the occasional splurge.
Just on my second attempt to lose 1/2 stone, which is going well. I've not removed anything from my diet, white bread, ice cream, crisps, chocolate, beer it's all in there with the good stuff.
Over winter I ride a lot, but very steadily so I don't burn out.
Plan is to be 10.5 stone in 2015.

Currently 4lb in 3 days but you don't want to feel how I do.
