<p>Eh, I gain weight when I exercise</p>
<p>^ Muscle weights more than fat!</p>
<p>i know how you feel like i have been running evveryday for like a month and fill like i just keep getting fatter</p>
<p>so is cutting down on cookies the only way to do it?</p>
<p>also the day before don’t eat alot of salt… cuts down bloating!</p>
<p>can’t sayy i’ll really be doing any exercising for prom. i play softball. but i exercise all year round and am in good shape soo i’m not doing anything special</p>
<p>I would be embarrassed to go to prom with someone that has to go on a special diet beforehand.</p>
<p>I’m not gonna lie, this is pretty dangerous but man it works.</p>
<p>Days 1-3: eat as little as humanly possible, I mean if you can get bye on an apple and a cracker then that’s great
Days 4 - 15: eat one small meal and one small snack that should come to around 700 calories total
Days 16 - 25: eat two small/reglar meals with no snacks
Days 26 - 35: maitenance mode, eat 3 small/regular meals avoiding all snacks with total calorie count at around 1200 - 1350 </p>
<p>I went from 149 to 125 on this. I know it’s crazy and probably really dangerous, but so far I’ve kept all but 4 pounds off for nearly 2 years so it worked really well for me. The whole point of this to get through the first 3 days, once I got through those, I started to feel much less hungry and was really content on the one meal one snack deal until it started to get really socially awkward so I added in some more meals. Now I eat like I normal person a 2000 calorie diet and daily exercise but I really needed to go on a crazy diet to get over the hump.</p>
<p>Yeah, actually, if I want to lose weight before something, I just don’t eat for like a week. I’m a million times better at that than I am at dieting. But I have ballet 4 days a week and I eat healthfully, I don’t really need too. I just always think I’m hugely fat. Today I was wearing size zero jeans (they’re a total lie. Clothing from Saks runs huge) and I had muffin top, so I felt gross (I was wearing a jacket for that express purpose. No one sees my muffin top. And they really seriously fit me perfectly everywhere else. They were $200 off, only available in one size. I couldn’t not buy them. They’re the only jeans I ever want to own for the rest of my life).</p>
<p>ahahhahahahah this is such a silly thread</p>
<p>I don’t really eat much the few weeks before prom. It works.</p>

THANKS
hope it works</p>
<p>And just a note, even though my username makes me sound like a guy, I’m a fairly girly girl who goes to an all-girls school.</p>

<p>You are not going to convince me that that’s healthy.</p>
<p>Going to prom a teeny bit out of shape is much better than anorexia, in my opinion. It’s not like anybody cares what you look like anyways.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>It’s not anorexia and it’s not healthy, but sometimes people really do have to resort to such extremes to even get down to a healthy weight. Hard to believe, but sometimes losing weight is really hard.</p>
<p>Don’t worry, I don’t think it’s healthy at all, I wish I didn’t have to do it. But in order to get down to a healthy weight where I could eat normally, I had to do something serious to get over the hump. If there was a healthier way, I would have done it. But the typical healthy diet and exercise thing just didn’t work for me.</p>
<p>I run 6 miles in the mornings and then I have rowing practice in the afternoons, so I don’t really diet… :P</p>
<p>i’ve eaten 1500 calories a day since november. i also became a vegetarian (unrelated reasons) and go to the gym for 30 minutes every other day or so.</p>
<p>since then i’ve gone from 159 to 135, and dropped from a size 10 to a size 2.</p>
<p>the real trick is to count calories.</p>
<p>OMG, you’re 135 and a size 2? I weigh a bit less than that, but I can very, very rarely fit a size 2. I guess you must be tall.
I never worry about counting calories, but I’ve never tried to lose any significant amount of weight because I’ve always been a size 4.</p>
<p>nah i’m only 5’4"…i think it’s just most of my fat gets distributed around my belly and not my thighs. especially since when i’m at the gym i only use the elliptical so only my legs get the workout.</p>
