But a few years ago I went on a crash diet where I ate 500 calories for 2 months and walked. I went from 170 pounds to 132 pounds in 2 months. That is near 40 pounds in 2 months with barely any exercise. I am looking to lose 50 pounds in 2 months...maybe 45. I know I can do it because I have lose almost that much in 2 months WITHOUT heavy exercise. Why do people lie and say it's "impossible"? If I have to hear how it will "slow my metabolism down" one more time I am going to SCREAM. I get it, eventually it DOES slow your metabolism down but that doesn't mean if I exercise hard and restrict my calories, I can't lose 50 pounds in 2 month. Especially since I AM overweight. It annoys me when people say that.

Replies merryberrycherry Posted at 5:34 pm on Nov. 1, 2008 Welldone on losing that weight and goodluck with the further weightloss. And i totally get you on the "slowing your metabolism" crap..it annoys the hell out of me. grr. lucyhead Posted at 3:51 pm on Nov. 1, 2008 Well of course for someone who is already thin, 25 pounds is huge.  To someone who is heavy like me, it isn't huge. In fact, I wouldn't even look that different if I lost 25 pounds. That is why I believe it is possible to lose 50 pounds in 2 months. Because I am 180 pounds. If I were like 120 I would say hell no.

Especially if I add slowly, more calories when I am done. 25 pounds as a permanent weight loss is huge. If you lose a lot of weight in fluids etc is then it's a piece of cake.. even though that too will take a toll on the body. lucyhead Posted at 3:37 pm on Nov. 1, 2008 25 pounds a month for only 2 months isn't that much.

Your going to die an early death and your body is going to get you back for doing all that. When it does slow your metabolism because my assumption your thinking thats far away from now, which is not true.   due to how teens NEED their calories fats nutrition to function properly, your probably going to have a lot of problems when your older because your liver may not grow correctly etc. ^ Basically agree with that As of the sounds of the thing I think that your body has switched into eating itself. WHICH is really fucked up, and if you have been doing that for two months I'd really suggest you to get medical attention, ASAP. The human body can take around 6 weeks without any nutritions..... some have made it up to 8 weeks in worst case scenario. ihavaroleinthisworld Posted at 3:31 pm on Nov. 1, 2008 Quote: from Natsy at 3:29 pm on Nov. 1, 2008 omgz you've given me an idea!!!!!   THANK YOU!!! ^_^ GAAHHH lucyhead Posted at 3:31 pm on Nov. 1, 2008 Quote: from Natsy at 3:29 pm on Nov. 1, 2008 omgz you've given me an idea!!!!!   THANK YOU!!! ^_^ Don't take my advice. I am not planning on dieting like this forever. Just until 2 months is over then I will slowly raise my calories to a healthy level. Don't go too far.

No I wasn't. I didn't know 500 calories was too low I mistook my doctor for sayng 500 calories when he said 1500 calories. But it worked. And being I gained weight again due to fucking PAXIL I am willing to do whatever to lose it again. jsgirl Posted at 3:25 pm on Nov. 1, 2008 Don't be silly. lucyhead Posted at 3:25 pm on Nov. 1, 2008 I'd also like to add that I am NOT 132 trying to lose 50 pounds. Last year I gained weight due to medication I was on. I am 180 pounds. ihavaroleinthisworld Posted at 3:25 pm on Nov. 1, 2008 well are you anorexic? Most recent 15 of 15 previous replies displayed.
