How fast did you lose weight?

[Anonymous]

I am not overwight, but I need to tone up for 2016. I am curious to know how long it took you to lose weight and how often you worked out/dieted or whatever.

there are healthy ways to lose weight but people are not patient.
so here's an impatient veterans path
one time i lost 5 pounds by eating nothing but lettuce for 2 days. (160 to 155)
the plan is simple once you get down to it.

pick a weekend, turn on some music and just dance alone in your room for as long as you can. Until your stomach starts ringing louder than the music. Then, go rinse out the lettuce (NO SALAD DRESSING, NO TOPPINGS, NOTHING BUT LETTUCE) and eat it watching season 1 of game of thrones for 10 hours.
have as much as you want, you won't gain weight even if you spent the whole day shoving lettuce in your face.

You should feel tortured and be screaming for real food by the end of the two day period. Even if you're not, you should stop and eat some meat, because you'll have no essential vitamins in your system and a dangerously high amount of vitamin A. But dont worry, you'll return to normal levels and live to torture yourself skinny another weekend.

--
but remember that you can lose weight and it doesn't always make you better looking. if you're already skinny and really want to "tone up" as you stated, crunches and other REAL EXERCISE might be required, disgusting and tedious as it is.

--
WARNING: if you are under 100 pounds, you WILL DIE if you eat nothing but lettuce for 48 hours.
if you feel HIDEOUS, but you know you are skinny, you need to EXERCISE, not lose weight.

i saw what @Jxpxtxr wrote, and yeah, even though i know for a fact that my method works, im pretty sure lettuce is a murderer of healthy weight (like muscles and bones).

Five weeks... But I gained it back because my friends started shouting at me for being thin and it made me upset.. Don't ever let anyone tell you how you should look like! Now I am struggling to lose weight again, because I'm out of control. But it's getting there again. Slowly but surely.

So, I ate EVERYTHING but just ate slower and really listened to my stomach as to when I was satisfied. That's it :) but also, you should try and consider having everything you need in each meal (protein, carbs, ...) and eat 3 times a day. if you have problem eating slow at first, look at a watch while you're eating and challenge yourself to chew for a certain amount of time. I hope it helps!!!

Of course, I also walked at least 4 hours a day. But not all at once. It's normal walking, just when you have time to walk, do it!

I am currently losing weight. About 1½-2 pounds a week and I've been doing so for the last few months (november-december) and will continue till I lose another 12ish pounds

that doesn't mean anything. you can lose weight by standing for 10 minutes. how much weight are you trying to lose?

[Asker]

For the question, I mean whatever that person's goal was.

[Other_Tommy_Wiseau]

ok, i mean it sounds like you were asking for advice more than a trivial question about someone. anyways, for me personally, i have never needed to, tried or willingly lost weight. i mean i probably did when i did sports just because of the nature of exercising.

If you wanna tone up your question shouldn't be "how fast did you lose weight" but "how fast did you burn fat" - and honestly, that usually doesn't work without a lot of exercise and a change in diet.
Best dramatically restrict carbs from your diet and do a lot of cardio...
That will actually bring you more results than just focussing on weightless, especially considering that the most dramatic weight loss is usually only water/muscle weight so that won't really make your body look any better :P

I haven't started losing weight. I guess I'll have to let you know.
