weight loss, quickly

[beds]

hey guys
wanting to lose a stone! and in 2 weeks!

thinking running first thing, 3 midday gym sessions per week and circuits in the evening

with a healthy diet, you think this is realistic?

[Youngblood]

cut off a limb. Sorry, my sarcasmometer finally showed up today in the mail and am trying it out. I don't think it is healthy to try to lose that much that quick if you want to keep it off. A stone. How many stones are you anyway? How many yards tall?

[beds]

5ft 8 and 12 and a half stone

bit chubby, not huge!

Safely, healthily you can't lose weight that fast.

If you're desparate run around in a winter clothing for an hour or so outside with heater turned on max. After that risk of heat stroke you should lose a pound...... of water.

Might I ask why so quickly?

[donnydarkoIRL]

That sounds a huge drop.
Entirely possible, but its unlikely to stay off and your immune system will suffer.
Long term or permanent weight loss are gradual processes which rely primarily on nutrition, with exercise supporting the weight loss.

In order to shed actual fat (as opposed to just water...) one of the best methods is a treadmill - 8kmph with a gradient of say 15%
Utilise this for 40mins - 1hr and it will attack the fat.

Beds, if you are trying to make weight for anything competitive or that will put a strain on your body ..... seriously, don't try and do it mate. You will be seriously dehydrated and damage yourself.

If it's for something like a holiday or something, a stone will be pushing it (using diet, aerobic excercise and possibly diuretics) - but it will still be bad for you.

Think the long term through, mate.

not trying to make weight or anything

thought i would be better applied to doing something quickly rather than long term
but understand what your saying

i'll still train hard but make sure i eat properly.

had my 2nd boxing training session yesterday and the warm up was a proper killer but loved it, will defo use the gym tomo and friday, probably weights 1 day and a circuit the next

Sounds like you're motivated
Thats great mate, well done on starting boxing, elevated beyond armchair expert status forever

[beds]

well im 25 now and have found i cant eat like i did at 17 as the weight stays on now!

the trainer at the boxing club says the hardest bit for anyone wanting to start boxing is just to walk through the doors as it takes a lot of balls walking into the unknown

That is true, the nerves the first time are horrible, particularly when you care for the sport

you can lose the 'weight' but little of it will be fat. It will also depend on how much 'weight' you have to lose. Try colonic irrigation and bikram yoga everyday for two weeks. That should liven you up.

In other words become a contortionist, and sit your butt down on a water sprinkler.

[Howlin Mad Missy]

yes but you're exercising in 105 degree heat and high humidity so you sweat a load.

[Chris Nagel]

ah now we know pac's secret. Move to the Philippines, or bring in the humidifiers.

[Howlin Mad Missy]

It does make you more limber - it also makes you feel very dizzy till you get used to it.
