    Not to add a spoon into the mix but there are some rare occassions when loosing weight too quick can be dangerous... How do I know this?
    Well because sadly I am one of those people. I have various medical conditions mostly connected to pcos and because of this I am at risk of fatty liver disease. I am only just out of the normal range however it is vital that I loose weight at a slow and steady pace otherwise I can do as much damage as putting weight on.

    Tbh it is common knowledge, the bigger you are, normally the more weight you loose initally and I totally agree that for a tiny person to be loosing extreme weight in a week it can be an indicator that, that person is possiby depriving themselves but on the otherhand there is always going to be somebody that doesn't fall into those categories.

    I think as long as people are being healthy, exercising and eating the right calories then they should be congratulated on their weight loss and for those people that are trying to take drastic measures, well maybe people should try and support them rather than attacking them for doing the wrong things. (Not saying that anyone has or is but just making a general point)

    Nobody's body is the same and sometimes I think people forget that :smile: x
