I have 2 weeks and some change left before I fight. I still have a few pounds to shed. I was curious about some of the seasoned people in here. What is the most dramatic amount of weight have you dropped in short amount of time and what did you do to achieve that weight goal?

Just cut down, sweat hard in the gym and be sensible. How much do you have to lose?

I lost 37 pounds in 2 weeks for my 1st fight.and of those 37 pounds i lost 10 of them about 17 hours before the weigh in.
Im not going to tell you how because the way it's done LITERALLY put you in danger of death.But i will tell you this it was the most mentally torturous thing i did my whole life.and i would never want it repeated its that dangerous it was a big tournament and i wanted experience on the big stage for my 1st fight.so i was willing to subject myself to that torture because i wanted to get my 1st fight over and done with.
But the toll it took on my body was tremendous i was severely dehydrated.never again i learned my lesson now if i lose weight for a fight i will at max lose 3 to 6 pounds week.But at the lowest i will lose tha usaboxing recommended 2 pounds a week.

For the last few pounds on (the night before) weigh-in day a few use Albolene and a sauna suit. According to Dolce drinking about 4 á 5L a day helps losing weight too. A bathtub filled with hot water and lots of salt (with or without Albolene applied) is used sometimes too.
I've never cut weight myself (yet). Naturally I walk around 69kg. But I don't drink and snack (fastfood, candy, ect.) at all. Other than fluids I have not much fat able to cut.

I have waited so long for my first fight and I don't to lose it over something ****** like weight. Any advice appreciated.
