You might work all day, other times through the night, and sometimes both in the same week.

But, now researchers are saying this kind of work irregularity might mess up your pooping schedule.

I am 27 year old 5.4 and I weigh 101.6 pounds I want to lose 7 lbs in 3 weeks. I am burning at least 800-1000 cal when I work out at the gym. I will be working out 4 days a week and I have decided to cut my cal to 800 a day for 2 weeks.

Do you think it is possible to get to my goal?

i am also taking water pills and maybe laxatives for a couple of weeks. I was hoping all of these things combined will help me to lose the weight. oh and I work out for an hour and a half with my incline on 14 and speed on 3.7 – should I do more to get to my goal of at least 95 – 96 pounds?

I also sit in the Sauna for 30 min after each work out.

Should I cut my calories down lower maybe to 600?

I would really appreciate only honest answers on what I should do to lose this weight, not what I should do to gain.

I will maintain my weight afterwards by eating 1200 cal a day and working out 4 days a week but at the same level.
