 Saginaw, MI Member Since: 03/22/08 [Latest Posts] | Post Date: 8/20/08 6:06 am Well, i am not sure what to do... I have to have 15 pounds gone before friday and the first 10 came off no problem, now,... I am stuck with 5 to go and they aren't budgin... at all... I work out 5 days a week, 45 min or so on machines, and 45 min. of swimming for my cardio. I eat about 1000 calories a day, maybe a little less actually, drink about 70 oz of water a day and I am stuck.... Any ideas? I need 5 gone by friday... If I get the 5 gone I get a date.... if not, I have to wait around some more... help  Eli Mathius arrived June 19, 2011 Conner Ryan  8-2-2010 An Angel in the book of life wrote down my baby's birth, then whispered as she closed the book "Too Beautiful For Earth" -- Love you sweet boy...   |

 Winfield, KS Member Since: 07/26/08 [Latest Posts] | Post Date: 8/20/08 6:12 am Hi, Christina. I'm not sure it's realistic to lose 5 lbs. by Friday (sorry), but you could try mixing up your calories (not eating the same amount per day). Try eating basically just protein for today and tomorrow and see what happens. Good luck. Blessings, Mary "Don't tell God how big your storm is; tell your storm how BIG your God is!"

 County Line, MI Duodenal Switch (10/19/07) Member Since: 05/24/07[Latest Posts] | Post Date: 8/20/08 6:15 am Stop working out and eat nothing but protein till Friday-see if that does it. Working out is great for your health, but if you are building muscle your weight loss will appear to slow down. Good Luck! -Wanda Highest -380 Surgery- 345 Goal- 150 Current-150 5 ft. 8 in.  |

 Roselle, NJ Member Since: 12/11/06 [Latest Posts] | Post Date: 8/20/08 6:22 am No carbs - push water - and two days of a lot of caffeine - not the best idea - but it will pull water from your system.....I would keep working out - you aren't building muscle to the extent that it would impact your weight - and it will keep your metabolism stoked.....Susan Obesity Help Support Group Leader - The Woman Warrior 286/170/131 (starting/goal/current) LBL - 10-30-08, brachioplasty/augmentation 2-26-09, medial thigh lift 3-16-09 Plastics - Dr. Joseph Fodero

 elmira, NY Member Since: 07/15/08 [Latest Posts] | Post Date: 8/20/08 7:03 am I agree with another member I'd stop working out until after your visit but I'd walk my heart out they say it's the best way to lose weight. Also change your diet like I was recommended by Diet/Nut to eat Kashi Golean and sf yogurt in the morning and include a salad with lunch & dinner. I lost 6 pounds doing that. There is a sacred (spelling) heart soup diet that dr's. recommend to heart patients to lose weight fast for heart surgery. I have the recipe if your would like to try it I can post it. Best of luck!

 Other Member Since: 08/16/07[Latest Posts] | Post Date: 8/20/08 8:54 am you do the liquid diet, broths, sf popsicles, sf jello and sorts for the next 2 days, and that should actually help loose those 5 lbs. not sure why you have to loose that weight? for surgery? if so the liquid diet is actaully a great idea, it will enssure your are cleaned out, and loose a few lbs. |
