    Realistically, you will not be able to cut the much fat a week. General rule of thumb is 1% body mass a month.

    Why is this thread still here?

    In the ever-fleeting hope that other new people read it and see a giant flock of people all shouting "NO" at woo/derp so they get a clue before it's too late and they're eating skinny people poop?

    This must be in the alternate TOS that I've missed somehow.

    Right here in river city actually.

    Have fun reading that one, the gif's are quite hilarious

    ETA: maybe safer to read on an empty stomach.

    I read that one the other morning. I'm not sure how the two are related.

    You asked why the post was still up. I was pointing out (with apparently too-dry humor) that I think they left it up in the hopes that people would read it, see many responses calling it crazy, and not do it. The eating poop thing was the too-dry humor part. I forget you can't read tone and there is no sarcasm font.

    I wonder what sarcasm font would look like.

    I'm going to go put in a suggestion in the forum suggestion thread.

    Maybe it will get implemented tomorrow.

    Well, in the meantime, I've resolved to use this: :|

    That looks more like confusion than sarcasm. Now I'm wondering what a sarcasm emoji looks like.

    I wonder if the old MFP set had one. Off to look.

    I found this on google:) I love it!

    That one's not bad since the text is included. They need to emoji that Willy Wonka meme somehow. That's sarcasm personified.

    When I weighed 340 pound, I cut my calories down to 1200 and lost about 18 pounds per month for a few months. I was doctor supervised, had bloodwork, constant monitoring, etc. Don't do it on your own.

    OP, if you're still reading, like many people have said I totally understand wanting the weight gone as soon as possible, but you've got to buckle up for the ride. Time will pass no matter what, so spend that time making good choices, taking care of your body, and learning how to eat reasonable portions. If you spend the time that you're given wisely, you'll lose weight at a safe rate and by the time you reach your goal you'll have developed a skill set that you can apply to make healthy choices for the rest of your life. Good luck - weighing food and sticking to your calorie goals is simple, but it takes planning and dedication.
