I desperately need to lose at least sixty(60) pounds by the end of this week in order to fit into my wedding..

Question

... dress by next Saturday! Does anyone know how to achieve such a tremendous task in so little time with minimum stress & effort please? I am open to all suggestions here so feel free to fire any comments at me! My fiancé has already warned me and threatened me that he will not marry me next week if I cannot fit my fat and lazy slob of a derrière into this expensive wedding dress!!! I love him so much and I cannot wait to become his lawful wife but I am also terribly desperate to lose all this excess weight and I cry myself to sleep every night so... PLEASE HELP ME OUT ASAP BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE FOR ME!!!

P.S. Serious answers only please. This is not a game. This is my life.

Answer 1

Reality check: you cannot lose 60lbs in a week and you cannot lose weight quickly with "minimum effort."

Here are some things that might help. Just know that the things I am about to tell you are not necessarily healthy ways of going about it.

-Only eat carbs in the morning.
-Do not consume any sugar.
-Only drink water.
-Xenodrine. (You can pick this up at most drug stores or WalMart type places. It will keep you wired, awake, and somewhat manic, but it gives you extra energy, raises your body temperature, and therefore burns calories faster. It is not healty and I would not reccomend it for long periods of time--but it works.)
-Flutter kicks and crunches. Flutter kicks are done laying on the ground with your legs in the air at a 90 degree angle with the ground. Place your hands under the small of your back with your thumbs and forefingers forming a diamond shape, essentially keeping your butt off the ground. With knees straight, kick your legs in a 60 degree arc. Do these with crunches several times a day.

Using the above strategy, I was able to drop 15lbs in a week. Lose what you can, and then buy a corsett type thing that can suck in some of the excess fat. I know Victoria's Secret has some effective ones. Also, see if your dress can be let out a little.

That is the best you can do in a short period of time, and I'm affraid no matter what you choose to do, it will take effort.

I know wedding dresses are expensive and that weddings are one of the most important ceremonies in our culture, but ask yourself this: If the man loves you, does the dress really matter that much?

If the dress matters that much to him, tell him to take the dress and where he can shove it.

Please don't start this new phase of your life insecure and regretful about the dress. Do the best you can, and if the dress does not fit the way you want it to, know that he loves you and that you are starting a new phase of your life.

How foolish can you be? This guy is abusing you. The threats and name calling are a sick indication of his immoral controlling depravity.This ultimatum he is laying on you is beyond being sick and perverted. It's down right deplorable and dangerous as well! He knows there is no way anyone could possibly do what he is demanding you to do. It would kill you if you tried. You need to face it. This is a way to for him to get out of marrying you. He doesn't love you or care the least bit about you. Your desperation is so intense that you can't see the misery he is causing you. Your judgment is clouded and you have become addicted to your emotions.You're correct when you say it's not a game. It is your life and you need to take control of it before it is too late for you! You are setting yourself up for a trap. So you need to back away from this. Can't you see that you deserve better than this? Where is your self respect and sense of decency? If you give yourself some necessary time to think rationally you'll see that this jerk isn't worth it. He never was and he never will be.

Answer 3

Even if you fasted for the next week, and walked 10 miles a day (which you would not have the energy to do), you would not loose sixty pounds. The max (reasonably healthy) weight loss rate is about 3 to 5 pounds a week, depending on what you started at. Anything more than that is seriously unhealthy and will do damage to your body.

So, it is too late for you to accomplish this. If you fiance doesn't want to marry you because of your weight, all the better. His love shouldn't be dependant on your dress size.

Answer 4

If your fiance can't seem to love you no matter what your size then why be with him?

You cannot lose that much weight in one week. That would be dangerous for your body. You could lose 10 pounds in a week though if you really really watched what you ate and exercised 3 hours a day till the wedding.

If your fiance is being a jerk now imagine what he will be like once you get married. Maybe hold off on the wedding, try to lose weight, and re-evaluate your situation with your fiance.

Answer 5

It is NOT healthy AT ALL to loose that much weight in that little time! Doctors recommend only a few pounds a week.
Anither thing, why would you want to marry someone so shallow? He wont marry you if you cant loose the weight? All I got to say about that is RUN! Someone who says things like that only spells out trouble as a future husband.
However, I cant stop you from it, it is your life after all. So my suggestion would be to take your dress to a seamstress NOW and find out what she can do for you.
Good luck

Answer 6

it's hard to lose 5 lbs in a week!! Plus, if you ask me, you're marrying a loser. However, benefit of the doubt, I don't know the guy, and maybe he is just trying to motivate you. I would never allow someone to treat me like that, especially sealing myself into a lifetime of put downs that have clearly begun. I would say you purposely put him in his place and tell him to love you the way you are. However, you need to be reasonable. If you are interested in losing weight to be healthy for YOURSELF then you should seek a personal training and do it properly. If you are really desperate and have too little self-esteem to give up on someone who will clearly verbally abuse you for the rest of your life, then I'd say take it too a seamstress and have them expand it to accomodate you...but I think you'd be making a huge mistake. Good luck!

Answer 7

Hi, Lolita. I can imagine you are very stressed out about not being able to fit into your wedding dress. But it sounds like your fiance has put you in a situation that he knows you can't accomplish because he does not want to marry you. If he calls it off, it will be your fault (supposedly but not realistically obtainable) if you can't fit in the dress. I know this is traumatizing you but you must do this: CALL OFF THE WEDDING FIRST - before he does. I know it seems scary and you will lose out on all your deposits and feel like a failure and fool in front of your friends and family, but you will feel worse about yourself by marrying someone who does not want to be with you. You can not deny that he doesn't want to be with you if he says that marrying you depends on you fitting inside a dress. He didn't say it depends on whether you will be faithful, can love him unconditionally, how you make him feel like a king. These are the reasons you marry someone. DO NOT MARRY HIM. You will be alright if you do the right thing...and that is "keeping your sanity"!

Answer 8

no sorry no way to lose 60 lbs in a week. Not even liposuction will make you lose 60 lbs in a week. I think the max for liposuction is 14 lbs? You could starve and run constantly for a week, and you still wouldnt lose 60 lbs.

You need to re-evaluate how much your fiancee really cares for you and your health if he's expecting you to do this... dump him and quick before you end up dead or seriously injure yourself for such a ridiculous expectation.

Answer 9

I agree with most of the other people here...you won't be able to lose 60lbs in a week. Do you really want to marry someone who is calling you fat and lazy and forcing you to lose this weight just to get married? What will he do to you after you are married?

I think you need to walk away from this wedding and find someone who loves you for you.

Answer 10

You're not going to lose 60 pounds by the end of this week. By the end of the year, maybe. At most, you'll lose like 2 or 3 pounds by Saturday if you really work hard. Either get liposuction like the other person mentioned, or just buy a different wedding dress.
