I am having a 8 week contest between 3 guys losing the most weight % to
original. I am 5'9' 215, they are taller and 240 and 250. I am doing Atkins
which I have done before. So far in 10 days I', down 8 lbs they are down 13
and 14. Any suggestions for the last 3 weeks? I am on Atkins very strict
and they are both eating about 1000 calories a day. Nobody exercising much.
I ran 25 mins yesterday though - dont like it much. Should I try a laxative
or diet pill for the last 2 weeks?

You didn't suggest he cut his head off? It obviously is useless. You're
slipping, JC.

No. Most people here are interested in losing FAT, not just weight.
Laxatives, diuretics and "diet pills" are what bulimic's use to purge
themselves at ANY cost (including their LIVES sometimes). What if you
all THREE take pills to lose weight and water and make your hearts race
-- then you will have lost whatever fat, water and [censored] you lost PLUS
you'll all be sick. Sounds like a lose-lose situation to me. You
should also be aware that most of the 8 lbs you've lost so far IS water
associated with glycogen stores in your liver. If you go back to eating
high-carb, that water will be put back on as soon as the glycogen stores
refill (it will probably happen to them, too, if it makes you feel any
better).

If you are interested in FAT loss, you'll stay the course on Atkins and
try to stay as healthy as possible because you WANT to, not because of a
contest. I'm not trying to be preachy -- it's just that I've been doing
this for 19 months now and have a totally different outlook based on my
experience so far. I FEEL so much better! I would gladly have PAID
whatever money I might have lost in a contest in order to achieve the
significant improvement in my overall HEALTH and the training to change
my eating habits permanently.

Saw off your head JC! Of course you won't loose any weight or maybe you
will ([censored] for brains)

if that's the case then no matter who wins, you're all losers.

Come on, obviously eating right and exercise are the way to go, I just
wodered if you had any quicky ideas for the final weeks. It's not going to
kill me or change my life, just wanted to hear a trick or two....

P.S. you all seem very serious about all this....chill a bit.

Yes, from what I've seen in my short time in this group folks around here
do actually take their LC WOL seriously. Most people do when they've
completely changed their eating and exercise habits for the positive and
have enjoyed the results. It's a serious matter, not something to do on a
whim or just for a couple of weeks in an attempt to win a silly bet.

While I can see that the competition angle might give you an extra kick in
the pants and engender extra inspiration, it's pretty ridiculous as a sole
motivating factor when compared to those here who have shed 100+ lbs. and
added years to their lives through well thought out and dedicated LCing
combined with exercise.

You've managed to insult and devalue the accomplishments of everyone here
just by claiming that you aren't LCing for the long term, but are just
looking for quicky results. I'm sure there's a group out there for binge
and purgers in which you might find your answers, but you won't find it
here.

Ah, well, that's the point, you see. We're doing this because it has changed
our lives, for the better. No-one cares aout your babyish contest. Come back
when you want to lose some weight longterm.

Come on, you aren't a kid. You really ought to know better by the
time you get to be our age. "Quick fixes" like diet pills and
laxatives actually could kill you if you're unlucky, unhealthy in some
less-than-obvious way or you overdo it. Different people are letting
you know that in their own way, some more pointedly than others, but
unfortunately it really *could* hurt you. No bet's worth that kind of
risk. And you did ask....

Take care,
Carmen

Don't be stupid.

What you're doing is not advised, but it's your body and your experiment.

Start lifting weights and keep doing cardio everyday. If you want to catch
up to them, you'll need to try to burn at least 800 kcals a day in cardio -
every day, plus doing 1 hour 3X per week of weight lifting - full-body
routine. Keeps your calories at about 1200 per day, making sure to stay at
20 to 30 g per day, eating plenty of veggies (eat them raw with little or no
dressing or oil - try brocolli and cauliflower - neither have many calories
but will help fill you up). I suggest you eat 4 meals at 300 kcal each, per
day. Do 400 kcals of cardio in the am and another 400 kcals in the pm. Try
go get about 120 g of protein per day (120*4=480kcals) When you weight
train, do cardio AFTER, not before. If you don't like running, try
bicycling or swimming, or something you do like.

At the end of the 8 weeks, do a 36-hour fast before the weigh in, drinking
only water during that time.

If you follow this advice, you'll win even if you lose by the scale. If you
don't win by the scale, kick the guy who wins ass, as he'll likely be a
weak-ass punk by then.

why don't you try taking some illegal drugs??

from what I heard, speed should do it...

(ha ha ha ha ha!!!)
