Ok, here is the deal, we are in a weight loss competition at work and it ends in 2 weeks. It started Jan 1, ends March 17 and it based on total body % lost. I started at 203 and I am down to 190. I lost this 13 pounds the right way... exercising and reducing calories/eating healthy. I figure if I can drop 5-10 more pounds, I can pretty much guarantee I will win. we have 20 guys at $25, so it will be a nice payday. We weigh in on the first of each month, so everyone knows where they are. Right now, I am have the best %, but not by much. I have a feeling people will step it up the last 2 weeks.
I generally burn about 500-600 calories a day exercising (mostly cardio, a little weight strengthing) which I plan to continue to do. I also plan to limit my H20 intake the last 24-48 hours to reduce water weight (as well as hitting the sauna the morning of our weigh in). I do not want to take any type of pills and this is only temporary, as when this competion is over I will go back to my counting calories and exercise routine
My thought is to basically do the Atkins diets because everyone I know that does it, drops pounds quickly. I figure I can live on chicken, eggs and veggies for 2 weeks. Long term, cutting water and carbs is not great, but it is only 2 weeks, so I am not too worried.
What other tips will help in quick weight loss?
