20lbs a month doesn't seem very healthy. If it's true I want to know your secret, but it seems about as feasible as the "magic bullet" theory imo.

I think the thing that you and Snowbird are missing is that if in fact Sara was blaming the food (and you two have said that repeatedly now), it was most likely a play on words and done in a joking manner.

I disagree with you. What's not very healthy is STAYING morbidly obese. I'm doing just fine, thank you. And no, it wasn't a *magic bullet.* What it was ...was a matter of making CONSCIOUS daily choices to eat sensibly, and exercise sensibly. Nothing more, and nothing less.

Funny, I thought you were leaving us to our nastiness.

I'm also curious as to how *specifically* you lost 120 pounds in six months. By my calculations, to lose 20 pounds a month requires a deficit of approx. 2,333 calories a day. It's an absolutely staggering weight loss, one that almost defies reason. Do you have problems with saggy/loose skin? What was your diet like before your weight loss, and what is it like now? What type of exercise do you every day? Do you think doctors and weight loss experts who counsel a weight loss of about 2 pounds a week are not sensible? You have apparently adopted a non-mainstream method of losing weight, so I'm not sure why you find it necessary to pick apart the faults in others' diets. Perhaps we could understand your position if you gave us more information on how you accomplished such a significant weight loss.

I just don't trust someone who comes on this board and says "I lost 100 (or 120) pounds in three (or six) months, and if I can do it, then the rest of you should be able to, as well." And I ESPECIALLY don't trust someone who refuses to reveal the secrets of her SIGNIFICANT weight loss, choosing instead to post cryptic messages about making sensible choices or the plan being doctor-approved.

Whatever.

I absolutely agree that their eating plan will result in weight loss. I just question the AMOUNT of weight they lose with such measures. I'll admit I'm a skeptic--but I just can't see how their plan would result in a weight loss of 20 pounds a month for six months or more.
