I was just wondering if it's possible to loose a pound a day? If so, how? Thanks.

It's not. You'd have to burn 3200 calories more than you take in in a day. Strenous cardio work only burns maybe 700 calories in a 45 minute period for me. And I'm a guy that weighs 175 pounds. Then you'd skip a meal thinking you were making up for it, but it just slows your metabolism. Try to lose a pound every week to week and a half. You can't lose a pound in a day. Maybe a pound of water weight, but not of fat. And it's not healthy to try.

First off, it is pretty unhealthy to lose weight that quickly. The safe rate is considered a max of 2 pounds a week, but you're safest at 1 pound a week.
Also, losing weight that quickly depends a bit on your weight to start with. A very skinny person won't lose a pound a day because there is just not that much to lose.
The only way I ever lost a pound a day was on the South Beach Diet, right after my baby was born. I lost over 40 pounds in one month, and I got incredibly sick.
So, yes it is sometimes possible, but you really don't want to do it.

It's probably not healthy for you. While you're at it, try going anorexic, why dontcha! (No, seriously, don't go anorexic.) The point is, you shouldn't do anything as dramatic as a pound a day. But there are other ways, I'm sure! Hope I helped!

It is possible to lose a pound a day! The best way to do this is by excersising and eating better than you usually do. Don't take any days off!!!!!
well good luck!

It's not really practical. And heres why: one pound has the equivalent of 3,500 calories. You never included your age or height/weight (which might have been helpful), but we'll just use an example here, okay? A 14 year old, 5'5", 170 pound female who hardly ever exercises should intake approximately 2,096 calories per day. Now, to lose one pound a day, you would have to burn off your daily intake of 2,096 calories PLUS ANOTHER 3,500 calories. That equals out to hours and hours of exercise. Therefore, your hope of losing one pound per day isn't really feasible, I'm sorry to say. However, if you start yourself on a healthy diet including plenty of exercise you could see a loss of 10-20 pounds per month. That might not seem like much, but it breaks down to a loss of 3 pounds per week, or 1-2 pound per 4 days. And that is a great accomplishment!!

Yea, depending on how much you drink and eat. If you don't drink you won't have that fluid weight and so you will probably lose a pound or too. I don't think by not eating you will lose a pound in one day, maybe two days though.

It is, if you want to lose water weight. Of course, that's just water, not fat, and as soon as you hydrate yourself again, you'll gain it all back.

Yes, everyone's weight fluctuates, but if you are loosing a pund a day regularly, it could be detrimental to your health.
Edit: If today you lost a pound, and then tomorrow another pound, and kept this up for a month, you would be 30 or 31 pounds lighter. I weigh 100 pounds exactly, so that would mean that a 5' girl would weigh 69 or 70 pounds, which is what I would weigh if I were anorexic, and that could kill me. When I weigh myself, sometimes I weigh 96 or 98, and sometimes, I weigh the full 100; it depends on what time of day it is (after dinner, before breakfast etc). Excercise and a healthy diet, like nutrisystem can help you, over time, to lose weight. It's not healthy to gain or lose weight as quickly as a pound a day.
