Thanks so much you guys for your answers. I am starting to get a little discouraged,but I refuse to give up. You guys are awesome!

Answer 1

What? I wanna know what diet you're doing! PLEASE tell me!

Answer 2

Good job on the nine pounds! You always lose faster in the beginning. But 1 to 2 pounds a week is normal safe and healthy weight loss. Aim for that. And don't get discouraged.

Answer 3

Well if you have already lost 9 pds that enough for now. After all it's only been 12 days. You don't want to lose too much weight too fast that would not be good for you or your body. Because if you lose weight to fast than you have a high chance of gaining it back even quicker. The normal is at least 2 pds a week. So count yourself blessed that you lost 9 pds.

Answer 4

It is virtually impossible to lose 9lbs of fat in 12 days. Most of the weight you lost is water weight. Juice diets do nothing but dehydrate you, the fat is still there and the weight will come back when you start eating normally again. You can lose about 2lbs of fat per week but it will be done with a reduced calorie balanced diet, not juice diets, they just do not work for real results. Honestly you need to determine your BMR which is the amount of calories that you burn per day without exercise, eating, etc. called existence calories. The best formula for this is called the Harris Benedict formula, you can search for it online, it will give you BMR and the amount of calories you burn when active, exercising, etc. When you come up with a number subtract 1000 calories and shoot for that per day. It takes a caloric deficit of 3500 calories to lose 1 lb of fat, so 1000 deficit per day x 7 days give you 2 lbs per week. Nobody said it was easy but what you are doing now is unhealthy and the weight you are losing, very little is fat. It is just how it is.

Answer 5

I have tried just about every diet you can think of to lose weight fast and in a healthy way and only found one that works for me and gets me motivated to lose more weight. It is a 7 day diet and it is used in hospitals for patients who need to lose weight quickly for heart surgery and its healthy for you! The best thing about this diet is that you can lose 15-17 pounds per week if you follow it EXACTLY. I know it sounds crazy, but I was going on a vacation and did it the week before I went and I lost 12 pounds! (I cheated too). On this diet you can eat as much as you want everyday but can only eat certain foods. It is hard but worth it in the end if you can stick to it! And another good thing about this diet is that I didnt gain back the weight fast and I went back to my old eating habits. So when I need to lose a few pounds I just do this diet for a week and it works for me and everyone I know that has tried it. In fact I know some who have lost 30 + pounds in 2-3 weeks! If you are interested in this diet just e-mail me at [e-mail].

Answer 6

Losing so much weight in a short period of time is really unhealthy and dangerous. Besides that the moment you start eating again you will gain the weight back really fast. Eat healthy foods (veggies (don't forget beans), fruit, nuts, seeds and grains) and work out atleast 30 minutes a day.

Answer 7

It's normal to hit plateaus. Surprise your body by doing a mixed variation of your exercises. I am assuming you have been exercising along with dieting...? Fasting won't help too much since essentially you will be losing water weight.

Answer 8

Exercise like crazy, like power walking, it helps a lot.

Answer 9

just go to the gym and work out then eat a healthy meal just don't starve yourself and watch wat u eat.
