Settle this argument! Most weight lost in one week!

[LadyBears]

The most I ever lost in one week was 185 lbs - when my divorce was official. Other than than, the most I ever lost was 14 lbs in one week due to the stress of starting the divorce the same week I started Weight Watchers......

Speaking of which - are they still around? The places I used to go to for my meetings don't have meetings any more!??

I started doing a low carb diet in the middle of May this year. Not only did watch my carbs, but also fat and calories. My first week I lost 15lbs. The 2nd week 10lbs. I have lost 49lbs. I am doing the diet for 2 to 3 weeks at a time, then eating sensibly for a week or 2(no sodas, bags of chips, 1 sandwhich instead of 2 stuff like that).

On my weeks 'off' I have not regained a pound. So, even if it is water weight I lost that first week, it is still gone Now I just need to buckle down and start a exercise routine.

i lost 15 pounds in one week followed by another 10 and a subsequent 5 and 5-BUT i had jaw surgery was wired shut (tmj-not to lose weight). i could'nt drink through a straw because of the stitches so anything thicker than clear broth was out. i was weaker than a kitten and it took a long time to bounce back (even after i got unwired). this was at a point in my life when i did'nt need to lose ANY weight-and i clearly remember finaly finding some size one pants but they fell off unless i wore a belt.

I guess not so much in this part of MA - I just searched the WW website & there are only 4 places that still have meetings within a 30 minute ride. Unfortunately, they mostly offer hours 9 am, 10 am, noon, etc M-F. I work so I can't make those hours.....
The 2 that offer the evening hours,I wouldn't be able to get to them in time as they are the 2 that are furthest away.

For me, looking back, I see that I lost more weight & kept it off when I was with a support group (WW) than when I do it alone (such as Atkins).

I agree that your friends diet doesn't sound at all appetizing....

I'm having a friendly debate (really argument) with a friend about weight loss.

What is the most weight *you've* ever lost in a week? What did you do?


What do you guys think?

I lost 14 pounds in one week while in college. Did an Atkins style thing and played lots of golf that week.

Ahh..that is a shame...I live in a tiny little town in South Central Ma (Worcester Cty) and they have their OWN offices and meeting room. They meet Tues thru Sat and some days it is 3x a day (meetings) they are in the Offices. Even Saturday they meet 2x!!

Wow..I would call the WW # and ask if there have been any new meeting places in your area that might not be posted online.

AND I so agree. It is so nice to have the Support Group.
