I recommend that you seek a doctor's advice because you are trying to lose more than 5% of your total body weight in a year. They'll have a lot more information and advice that will be helpful to you, as well to help you avoid potential problems.
surely you meant more than 50%? not sure how losing more than 5% in a year would require a doctor's ok!?
Generally speaking, there is a wealth of published medical literature, studies, and literal quotations from real medical doctors that state essentially that you should consult a physician when beginning any weight loss plan.
So you should probably do it.
Did you consult the Physician when you put on more than 5% of your body weight?
Generally speaking you dont need doctors for weight loss unless you plan on doing something stupid and dangerous. 5% a year is not anywhere near that level.
Doctors, you know, real medical professionals, disagree with you and I'll go with their published expertise over your opinion.18 -
Sees doctors on a regular basis more then a regular basis (have a illness that causes tumors and what not). (Has 2 tumors on my tyroides alone)
Sorry to hear that you are dealing with this. I hope your doctors are able to help you deal with this condition and that healthier eating and weight loss might help, too!2 -

Yes, Car mechanics also like you to come in to get a "tuneup" before you drive long distances... even if you're not due for any maintenance.
$$$$$ is a powerful motivator.

Show me the doctors and the published medical expertise that says a 200lb person cant lose 10lbs without doctor intervention. Or a 300lb person from losing 15lbs. Its absurd. You are being ludicrous.14 -

I have to agree. Are you saying that if he starts making healthier choices food wise, cuts out junk and takes regular walks that he needs a doctor's go ahead first? If he was planning on doing something extreme like going to a military boot camp or slashing his calories ti the max then yeah...

Exactly - this! That is why I thought it had to be a typo - I thought that poster meant 50% bodyweight loss (which I could see), but 5% is absolutely ridiculous.2 -

I'd do military boot camp if the military would have me.7 -

To directly quote the Mayo Clinic: "Check with your doctor or health care provider before starting any weight-loss diet, especially if you have any health conditions."
http://www.mayoclinic.org/healthy-lifestyle/weight-loss/in-depth/mayo-clinic-diet/art-20045460
If you want to ridiculously argue with the Mayo Clinic, be my guest and give them a call. Again, I'll take published expertise over your twisted opinion and wrongheaded insults.
By the way, what I said originally, and all along is this: "I recommend that you seek a doctor's advice because you are trying to lose more than 5% of your total body weight in a year." Not whatever you are saying.15 -

It is possible yes, seen it done. Start with small goals and small exercise goals and build your way up. When we are larger it's easier to injure ourselves with exercise and it sets us back, trust me those small goals will give results and it won't be long till you get to push yourself further. I always make more progress if I ease myself into it.3
