Help me cut 14 pounds in a day!
Ok guys, I'm fucked. I accepted a fight on 2 weeks notice when I had to lose 22 pounds. Well I went from 187 to 179 now, but my first MMA fight is Saturday and I need to weigh in at 165 tomorrow at 6pm. The fight isn't until saturday, so I'll have time to recover, but still....its not gonna be easy. Here's my plan.....
Go home tonight, put my sauan suit on and jog the treadmill for a little bit before I go to sleep. Go to the gym tomorrow and grease up in albolene and sweat it out for a while....Hopefully this'll get me close to where I need to be. For the rest, out comes the sauna suit to help me get those other 5-6 pounds off. Leave straight from the gym, weigh in and pack it all back on that night.
Do I have the right idea here? Any advice would be appreciated.

thats a lot of weight to lose, you've pretty much got the right idea but you really have'nt got all that much time to lose so much weight .
Good luck man.

As shitty as a way that is to do it, it's about your only option with this amount of time. I know it's going to suck, but you have to do it. Good luck.

A gallon of water (not exactly sweat, but close enough) weighs about 8 pounds....good luck sweating it all off. My suggestion is don't eat or drink shit until after the weigh in.

Yeah, definitely going to suck but it's do-able with the plan you mentioned.
When starting to hydrate yourself again, make sure you take frequent and small sips of water, don't just chug it back! Good luck, tell us how it went.

Do the nr 2 as many times as possible!
Don't eat and drink until the weigh in and train hard!
It will be fine!

Yep. And get a pack of strong gum and a cup and spit away till that cup is full and do it again.  They say a pound an hour. Clip your nails, shave your body, scale your teeth, and oh, yeah, empty your testicles. God I miss cutting weight.
Actually, you are prolly about to weigh in. Post how you do.

i cut from 180 to 166 in like...3 days or so...
i didn't have to get in a sauna either...
i wore the suit and hit the road jack...
and was eating close to nothing...
the results: a severe loss of strength and cardio...
