How do I lose 5 pounds in 7 days?

[Eddie Teach]

And being boxers and wrestlers, they may not have the best judgment anyway.

Were you hit in the head a few hundred times in high school?

[katmai]

Since I skipped HS, no

But did wrestle, my coach was All-American at Naval Academy...sadly didn't mean he could translate that to me having any talent

And boxed as teenager.

It's a bit odd that 'the system' can result in someone having to think about unpleasant dietary activity or even do something unheathly, just to avoid being screwed over by their own employer.

Just FYI, not every employer treats their employees like this.

[MadImmortalMan]

We sure don't. But hey she works for the insurance company I guess. They're bound to do that stuff to their own.

Is 5 pounds really possible with the water loss thing? Checking up 5 pounds is over 2kg. When I exercise heavily I only lose around 1kg in water.

Can I say only in America ?

Yeah, pretty much.

I would say the system probably intended for you to start thinking about the penalty the moment it was enforced, ie 6 months ago, not in the last minute.. I presume these requirements weren't exactly a surprise information that dawned on you two weeks ago?

Valdemar, prepare to be tutu'd

Indeed But seriously, if you can only update information every 6 months, then I presume the same restrictions were in place 6 months ago, and not arbitrarily enforced two weeks ago

If 60$ is worth two weeks of misery, then it would have been easier taking it down two months ago

EDIT: Basically I cannot see how this can be the company's fault, they have to draw the line somewhere, and I bet there is cold math behind the penalty payment, there usually is in insurance prices.

It would be like griping about why the speed limit isn't 58 instead of 55 as that would mean a fine instead of losing the license when calculating the relative transgression in percent

[Grey Fox]

She probably didn't work there 6 months ago.

It's not the company's fault, its the entire system that's fucked up.

You should have a week of constant, sweaty sex. Burns calories, and you'll dehydrate at the same time!

[Valdemar]

I bet it was somewhere in writing when she signed up, unless she has been uncovered from sign on until now

The system as such may be fucked up, but the insurance company will have to have some guidelines. the alternative would be full physicals  on all applicants which would be extremely expensive.

[Grey Fox]

Yes, that's not a reason to not be angry about it tho.

[Tamas]

I read it somewhere, not sure where, that dehydration and laxatives are your safest bets

What was six months ago? She's just being hired now.

[Valdemar]

Congratulations then on the new job
