How much weight is it possible to lose in two weeks?

[Anonymous]

So in two weeks I am going over to my ldr boyfriend and meeting his family and friends. Should be a happy occassion but it's really making me stay up all night crying. The reason is my weight and therefore appearance. I have lost 35 kilos so far (I don't know what that is in pounds) but I still have some work to do before I reach my ideal weight. Now his family is super athletic like him and his friends are cheerleaders and models.. So I fear I will be judged. Actually I know I will be judged they might not say it aloud but they're for sure thinking it. "She's not fit". I've been trying on clothes for the trip and everytime I check them out from the mirror my soul just dies a little more. My own fault really for getting that big in the first place but still. How much can I lose before it and how should I do it?

Not much since you have to burn fat in a healthy way. If you burn 1 kg of fat in a month, thats a lot. But why worry? You are working to reduce your weigth, so if the conversation subject goes about that, you can tell what you do to loose weigth, what your goal is and where you come from. That will make a bigger impression on them than just having a kilo less. It shows you have the will to proceed.

Depends on how much you weigh, your height, and your current calorie intake.

the question is not how much is possible, but how much is still healthy

If you maintain a calorie deficit, you can lose up to 1 lbs a week.

the limit to healthy weight loss is about a pound or two a month, so in two weeks about a pound or so.

lies.

[Anpu23]

@BubbleBoy69 Then discounting water weight what do you think the limit to healthy weight loss is? Of course you can gain and lose a lot of weight just by water consumption, but that honestly doesn't count.

In a month i'd wager between 10-20 lbs.

@BubbleBoy69 okay a pound of fat is roughly 3500 kilo-calories 20 lbs would be 70,000 calories. broken down by day that equals 2,333.33 calories a day, at that kind of deficiency you would put your body into starvation mode, and it would eat your muscle and organs before you lost fat. In other words you would be killing yourself, and maintaining your fat. without excoriate that would mean NOTHING but water for a month or you would have to burn through exercise every ounce of nutrition that you took in. Realizing that an HOUR on the treadmill only burns about 500 calories or so, if you eat a health diet of say 1600 calories a day you would need to work out hard at aerobic levels for two and a half hours a day, I honestly do not think that a human could do it for a month. maybe a day or two, but a whole month? No. As for the fad stuff, Atkins has been shown to not be healthy over the long run.
