    And you will need surgery to repair your skin for losing around 6 lbs a week (avg.) Losing weight that fast can have negative effects on our skin. Part of the point of losing weight is so you'll feel you look better. How are you going to feel if you lose 100 lbs in 4 mos and have tons of skin or continue and lose 200 in 8 mos. This is not something to be impatient with. Our body's and mind's need to learn this lifestyle so we can keep the weight off.

    The speed of weight loss actually has little to do with what one's skin will do long-term. In three years, his skin will look the same as if he'd lost that same amount of weight over a year. Plus, quite frankly, if you're losing weight that quickly, you have more serious health issues to worry about than what your skin will look like. Like what happens to your body when you're basically starving yourself. Personally, I'm a lot more worried about my health than my extra skin.

    Unless you were under close medical supervision during this time, I don't think one can ever describe looking 25 pounds a month as "the right way" to lose weight. The health consequences of such rapid weight loss can be serious.

    When you do a complete lifestyle change and are disciplined and determined, BELIEVE me it can be done!!! I am in the best shape of my life. I run anywhere from 5-8 miles a day and continue t work out.

    The right way....yes the right way...eating healthy and incorporating daily exercise is the right way!. No surgery...pure will power and mind power.

    the only health consequence i would say is a little loose skin.....besides that....100% healthy!

    I actually just got off the phone with my cousin who is a medical doctor and she didn't disagree with the way he lost it after I told her his story. Funny...are those of you spouting your negative comments doctors? If he is eating right and working out and he loses 100 lbs. in 4 months I can guarantee you a doc would have NO problem with that as long as he has no prior medical conditions that would make it bad. My cousin informed me that the extra weight is much more detrimental to his health than losing weight the way he did it. He didn't starve himself and he worked out. It would be different if he wasn't getting what his body needed, ie. starving himself, diet pills, drugs, etc. To all you haters, hate on because he looks absolutely amazing and is in better shape health wise than he was 4 months ago and NO doc would argue that. May I offer my congrats to you! You have done a fantastic job and are changing the ugly path in which your life was taking you! You look absolutely amazing!

    Amazing I am so impressed I shall read the blog. As for the one questioning the skin. Come on really you don t think we are already aware of what may happen. Maybe you are upset that you can not even get to your goal weight in 4 months so you dogged on him. Truly not cool.
    If i can lose half of this in 4 months I will be over the moon.

    There's nothing wrong with using shakes as meal replacements as long as you are meeting you nutritional goals and it's not all the time...there are A LOT of haters on this site. Watch out because here they come in full force!

    It'll be interesting to see if you can keep it off. since that was pretty fast weight loss. Thing is, I think your biggest advantage is your age.

    Now, this is just my opinion, but it seems like that when people address their weight problems when they are young or young adults, they have a better chance of keeping it off for good. I think if you can maintain this for the new few years, then your chances of keeping it off for the rest of you life are pretty good.

    In any event, no hate here. You look fabulous. And no doubt, you feel better too. Good job! (P.S. the skin issue is minimal compared to the health risks of being that overweight)

    My concern is that you are a relatively young man and it appears that you were not even eating 1,000 calories per day. After your work outs your net intake would have been what I'm afraid would be dangerously low.

    Regardless of my concern, good for you for working so hard and achieving a healthier life.

    Exactly. You know what they say about if it sounds too good to be true...

    In whatever amount of time the OP lost his weight, good for him. However, no one is going to buy Visalus from him...sounds like an erectile dysfunction medication anyhow.

    I ate at least 1400 calorie a day. when you incorporate lots of cardio and sweating. Its possible

    I should also add that even though your calorie intake was very low, your diet looks very balanced and you did a good job of including various fruits, veggies, lean proteins, etc.

    well sorry to inform you that my weight loss is a true story. You can read my blog and see what I did to reach my goal. Its almost disrespectful to down size someones success. www.EdwinVelezSuccess.com

    about the visalus...I just started this a few weeks back to help with my busy schedule. I teach middle school and go to school full time. Cooking my meals and stuff like I did during the summer became hard, and vi is the alternative i use to get my mornings started. So without concluding "its to go to be true" I can insure you that I have co-workers and close friends that have been my support throughout the process.

    it just takes determination, dedication, but most of all discipline! Stop being Negative and maybe adapt some things and you can be sucessfull yourself

    HAVE A BLESSED DAY!

    We were replying at the same time. :) It's hard to guestimate calories from pics because we can't tell portion sizes. Glad to hear you were eating 1400 cals or more. Your dedication is pretty amazing.
