Lots of waking works and congrats. The loose skin had became an issue. I didn't expect it to get too bad but it is. My legs, butt, arms and stomach. I carried the weight a long time. I guess I should have been prepared for it but it bothers me now to look at it. When I'm in clothes it doesn't bother me and I feel 100 percent better but when I'm outta clothes it's there and a reminder of the shape I was in.2 -
Are you still losing? Have you upped your calories yet? It'll be interesting to see what happens when you start eating a reasonable intake.1

You need to start strength training now to prevent more muscle loss. Skip more cardio.3

So therein lies the problem for me. Yes, you were extremely obese and it's good you got that weight off, but I don't like holding out a VLCD as a model for others. You could have been eating twice that and lost plenty while giving your body time to adapt and avoiding the potential negative effects of extremely rapid weight loss. Of course, if you were instructed by a doctor to do it this way, and under his close supervision, that is a different story (but not much).0 -

When we lose weight, we lose muscle and fat. That's just a fact a life. To prevent it you eat at a slight deficit (that's out the window for you) and strength train. Since you are already eating a VLCD diet, it would be wise to emphasize strength training to try and counteract the extreme lack of energy you are providing your body.4 -
That's pretty awesome . Do not understand how losing 25 pounds a month is substainable ... But that is awesome!!2

Regardless there's skin either way. I still have more weight to loose.0 -

If you think loose skin is the only negative effect of rapid weight loss, you need more education about weight loss, health, and fitness. And by the way, I'm not trying to be mean or negative- just don't want the casual MFP user reading this thread to think this is an advisable way to lose weight.5 -
201 Lbs in 8 months is amazing lose.............. I would love to see a sample of your food diaries?1

Obesity is a killer. I was on 20 meds a day. I was set up for Bariatric surgery. I am living now. I was basically dead then. So think bout it!1 -
Just going to add to the praise. That's absolutely amazing!1

And as far as muscle. I was 426 pounds of fat. If I had any muscle it was only because it was there from carrying 426 pounds around.

Yes, obesity is absolutely is a killer. And again, I would defer to anyone's doctor. But I would hate for the average obese person to come on here and think they have to starve themselves and exercise nonstop to substantially impact their health. If they try to imitate you, only to find your severe plan impossible to live with, and they end up quitting as a result, how does that benefit them or their health? Not looking to detract from your success, just to provide a balanced view for others. I truly hope this is just the beginning of a permanent lifestyle change for you and you continue to learn, live long, and prosper!

My success story is to inspire. I'm an average person. Everyone's results vary. I cut out fast food and I only eat out 3-4 times a month. I eat very clean. It fell off for me. I eat clean and I don't drink calories. Anyone who cleans there eating will have great results. You don't starve yourself you just eat correctly and exercise helps. Even if you walk an hour a day.3 -

Well, you are starving yourself at those numbers. Energy is energy, whether it's from foods you call clean or from foods you call dirty. Your body requires a certain number to live (BMR) and you are guaranteed eating below it.
Look, your success story is great, but I want to mention that this is a VLCD and actually against MFP policy. So, like others have mentioned, it's not digs at you, but this needs to be clarified to new members who read this so they don't expect this. It kinda goes against what the majority of us believe is a "healthy and sustainable" way of losing weight, and that's the real goal.4 -

Actually a VLCD is a liquid diet. I eat real food. And you are incorrect. I simply stopped eating bad foods and counting and measuring everything I eat. I took out salt and sugar and lowered carbs and up my protein and j got off my fat *kitten* and moved. If that's something that's just killing you then you have a lot of issues. Don't take away from someone who is actually living instead of dying. You have done great to try and push what you want to believe but you are incorrect!4
