I just lost 18 pounds in 9 days! Just had to tell everyone...?


Question:
YES! Everyone keeps asking how and I knew it's about diet and exercise. I was tired of the stinkin' 2 pounds a week, so I just DID SOMETHING ABOUT IT! I did 4 protein shakes a day mixed with ice, fruit and skim milk (340 cals each shake) and I did cardio in the mornings, HARD for 45 minutes, cardio at night HARD (I mean SWEATIN!!!) for 90 minutes every night. I did weight-training/toning every other day for 60 minutes (so 4 times this last 9 days) and I drank ONLY WATER - abotu a gallon a day. WOW! 18 pounds GONE. Today I'm eating again, but plan to continue this for the last 10 pounds and then SLOWLY go back to a "normal" workout and food. This takes DEDICATION, but my GOD it is worth it!!!

Answers:
Very unhealthy. Too much protein. Obsessive exercise. No real food.

Congrats!!! You must have serious dedication. Keep up the good work.
when you can bench press me let me know
Great job! It sounds like you did a celebrity slim down plan.... do you work? How did you do the shakes while at work?
Good for you but... Be careful cause you are going to gain it back EFIL
great !!
Water weight
Enjoy gaining it back once you start drinking again and well ... once you stop doing all the crap your doing b/c I guarentee you wont keep doing all that rediclous crap for long
way to go...you should keep this post up for a while so that everyone gets to see it. put is as a no expireation date...i'm glad for you. so many people struggle with weight, you are a champ...
Glad your GLAD, just make sure you incorporate a vitamin supplement with that shake. Remember when you sweat you lose all the essential minerals that keep your mind, body and soul happy!

Take a Centrum along with all that water, remember to supplement your vitamin B complex, and C if you are during cardio.
Congratulations there is nothing like seeing the scale go down!
That sound great, but you have to watch losing weight to fast, its really bad for your heart. I just might have to try it.
That's GREAT!!!!! But I just hope that you aren't one of those skinny girls that thinks she needs to lose weight. It's understandable if you are on the heavy side but if you are of an average weight for your age and height then you don't need to lose too much weight. Anyway YAY FOR YOU!!!!!
good for you. congratulations!
People are always asking how, and what you did is the answer. Just keep it up until you body adjusts, so you dont end up yo-yo-ing
yay congrads :)
lay off the meth dear
Losing that much weight that fast is unhealthy, and ultimately you will just gain it all back because your body was unable to adjust. Try to slow down a little if you want to be healthy.
AWESOME

CAN YOU PLEASE TELL US WHAT YOUR WEIGHT AND HEIGHT WAS BEFORE?
Go on you!! theres nothing better than having something you can brag about! you must be proud!

Well done!
Congratulations about losing the weight. However 18 pounds in 9 days sounds really unhealthy. Your only eating 1360 calories a day. Which might be good for a diet without the exercise. But with all that intense exercise you could be doing more harm than good by eating too few calories. just be careful.
Avoid thinking in terms of weight. Instead be concerned with body-fat %. Even if you were to loose say 20 pounds in one week you are getting fatter, because as your body "eats" it's own muscle tissue your body-fat % increases causing your metabolism to slow down. As soon as you start eating again you will put on more fat due to the reduction in lean muscle mass. What you are considering has been attempted millions of times with absolutely horrible results. In the end you still have to do what it takes to be healthy: Eat 4-6 small healthy meals daily, avoid eating a lot of carbs before bed, exercise regularly with cardio AND resistance training and respect your body. Just think in one year or even ten years from now you will have to do the right thing for your health, no matter how fast or how much you loose in the next week.
That is great and good for you. Please don't let anyone bring you down or try to make you feel bad. It sounds like a lot of work and now you are seeing the benefits.
GREAT JOB IM REALLY PROUND OF U N KEEP IT UP
