This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

No, they're right, it's extremely unrealistic to lose much weight in fat in one week. Even if you ate literally nothing and hiked up mountains 12 hours a day, which is obviously impossible, it'd be maximum like 10 pounds. Walking a bit and eating normally? No more than 2, that's already extremely rapid weight loss.

Water weight on the other hand you can easily lose more than 5 pounds in a day.

I never said I lost weight, but I have slimmed down. What I've lost in water or fat weight I've gained in leg muscles. I've already been trying to lose weight for months through occassional dieting, using a treadmill daily, and lifting free weights. I've definitely lost arm muscle mass but I can now easily climb up several flights of stairs navigating subway platforms. It's possible to change body composition over a week and a half if you've been priming for months. It's okay if no one else believes me, after all this is the internet and anyone can lie. I'm satisfied with my own results and that's all I need.
