i'm 5'6...... I use to be athletic but I can't really do much because I have a really bad knee since my accident I also have asthma but i run 2hrs a day i try it's not like im not trying

You didn't even bother to read my post did you ?

Crissy,

Suppose for a moment that this diet is WILDLY successful and you lose 15 lbs in three days (which will not happen unless part of the diet involves cuttingoff your arm)!

That weight will stay off until you decide to eat something (ie, less than three days).

If you are a regular reader of this site you whould realize that the reason diets don't work is becuase a diet is temporary by nature. So once you go back to your old bad habits all the weight comes back and you feel like a failure.

I suspect that you need to get healthy and I mean more than physically healthy. Your "goals" and "methods" have mental disorder written all over them.

You will damage your body and metabolism with these ridiculously unhealthy methods.

Since all of these crash diets and excessive running and exercise have NEVER worked for you, why don't you take some of the advice offered by the healthy people on this site, just on the off chance that it might work?

No I did read it and I am sorry I am just going thru alot here and I am just reading advice here trying stuff here and there and when i get feedback then maybe i can change i dunno i really need help and I admit that

ya i hear ya Crissy, knee injuries suck, u cant help but put on a lil weight. I had one myself, (tore my ACL) and i put on a lil extra aswell.
AnywhoOoOo, those crash diets suck, there not fun And u cant let the fact that ur friends poke fun at u to lead u to a crappy thing like a crash diet. If u want ill kick their asses for u no , but for reaaaalll, im sure that ppls on this site, including myself can write up a nice diet, and good workout/cardio routine (that is healthy and provin to work)

For the record Chrissy, I know exactly what it feels like to be overweight and just want more than anything in the world to get it off of me. That doesn't justify destructive behaviors.

Also, at 5'6" and 145, you are 10 pounds away from being in the "moderately overweight" category, and are barely over the middle of the "healthy weight" category. Basically, you won't be overweight unless you gain 10 more pounds.

I'm still wondering if you really want to weigh 80lbs, or that was just a frustrated exaggeration.

By the way this person writes I'm thinking she's not all there. Sometimes I wonder what these people are like in real life. Could you imagine talking to your co-worker at work and asking what she did over the weekend and she's like:

"I be trying to get to 80 pounds. I so fat!! Do you know how I can do it?! I took lots of vitamin C and zinc but it didn't work?!?! Oh my god! My friends make fun of me!"

P.S. Not trying to sound mean but after reading around on this site for 5 minutes one should know that eating twice a day and running like crazy isn't the way to try and lose body fat.

If I'm not mistaken, some mental institutions still allow computer access to their patients.

Nicole, you should meet some of my potential clients, there are so many people who feel this way.

Chrissy it is a simple understanding that you need to make for yourself of if you want to play this guessing game with your health and body for life, or if you want to actually wake up every morning feeling not only proud of your body but proud of yourself and strength.

thanks for making me feel a little worse congrats and I am thankful and grateful for your hurtful joke. Thank you so much Nicole. Hope u have a nice day.

Seriously, in the most un-mean way possible, let's look at what you are saying...

you are 145 lbs at 5'6" (but think you are fat)

you want to weigh 80 lbs (and still haven't denied actually wanting to weigh that)

you listed off about 10 different unhealthy, destructive ways you've tried of losing weight, asked our opinion about trying yet another unhealthy destructive thing - then got a bit defensive when a site full of health/fitness minded people told you it's bad and you need help if you think it's ok to keep doing this

So, can you really blame us for wondering a little?

Did this diet last week and lost 7 lbs. On the last day I cheated just a bit but nevertheless less still lost some good 7 lbs from my waist area.

Losing 7lbs in a week is child’s play, I could that in a few days if I wanted to and just about anyone else could too because it’s a relatively small amount and you don’t necessarily need to lose fat to drop that much. You won’t have cut 7lbs of fat in a week, you probably lost a lot of retained water though.

Losing weight over a long period of time takes a permanent change in lifestyle and a lot more commitment though and can’t be achieved through fad dieting.

Body weight can fluctuate several pounds per day, then if one were to cut carbohydrates out form their consumption of macro nutrients for several days, one absolutely could lose 7 or more approximate pounds of "weight" (mostly water) within one week. Not all that surprising.

Many people can have so-called cheat meals within their diet, and lose quality tissue. Nothing new.

There is no "magic" diet. Most of the diets marketed on the internet, TV, or magazines (that are reputable, anyway, which are very few), could be constructed properly by anyone, with a little knowledge of calories, macro nutrients, and in some cases careful timing and consumption of food and macro nutrients.

Time taken to educate yourself on carrying out the functions of nutrition and fitness training is priceless. This education can allow modification to your particulars, and these functions of nutrition and fitness training then can become more personally practical.
