It's a great story and everything, but she was limiting herself to 1200kcal per day and going to the gym every day. 1200kcal net is ok if you're eating more than that, but it's really hard to get the nutrients you need doing under that. Going to the gym every day hugely increases the risk of injury - you need the rest day in between to allow your body to recover.
It is still a great story. And her boobs are awesome.

It's great she's at a healthier weight, but she basically crashed dieted to lose weight quickly. That's not good.leanjogreen18 wrote: »Nice story and nice shout out to mfp!

Well...no you don't. 110 pounds in 8 months is ridiculously fast. That's an average of almost 14 pounds a month, which further averages out to over 3 pounds a week.
Eating 1200 and then exercising obviously netted pretty low calories, which means a big loss of muscle tissue along with that fat.
With all due respect, her story is not an example of a healthy weight loss.

I doubt she has much loose skin, the picture of her skin is sitting and hunched over. Even fitness competitors who have never been fat look like that when they're sitting or hunched over.

she already had a surgery sounds like shes getting people to pay for surgeries is kind of cheating she looks fine...0

Plus on top of that plus size clothing stores really take advantage of that fact. $50 for shirts, $80 for jeans.. the amount of money you have to pay to have a few outfits is ridiculous
yeah i was begining to have that problem...was only 232 at my highest at 5 ft 3 i kind of just went the dress like a man route with zero *kitten* given in big over sized sweaters and spaghetti strap shirts underneath i fooled self into thinking made me look skinny because i had a thin waist compared to the rest of me xD

Kris, what she has is.... publicity! (and boobs)
Re the rest of it. Impressive result. Too swiftly achieved. The real test? What she weighs in february 2020, and February 2022. Let me know then please.
*I would have been more impressed with a sensible weight loss over three years achieving the same results.7 -
i always carried weight in my upper arms...still do...beggining to get used to it but to this day i hate doing out in short sleeves >.>
I still own all my giant *kitten* hoodies they look rediculous on me nowXD
Side note...When you wear older clothes that are loose and baggy big things like sweaters after weight loss you go back to feeling like a fat fat person i swear people down on me when im dressed like that....Even when its clear im small underneath >.> mind is a powerful thing0 -
