in Success Stories
I used MyFitnessPal as a general guideline and lost 95 pounds in just a little over 4 months. I did a video on the whole process. Check it out: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hNvByZlyacg

I've also done a blog on my entire process. You can read my blog at http://www.skinnyjared.com if you're interested.

    So... do you plan to keep eating 700-950 calories a day while running 5 miles every morning?

    How is it possible or safe to burn 2500 more calories a day than you take in?

    I will never do what this guy has, but good attempt. low fat jimmy dean breakfast sandwich for breakfast, 6 small strips of grilled chicken for lunch with a little celery and then...and then...what? an apple for dinner because you must not have a lot of calories left for only eating 900 calories tops a day....... and on top of all that, you workout an hour a day? Great, but no thanks.

    After seeing the video and seeing old posts he has made on MFP... I don't see why this post couldn't be considered real. Looks like the OP worked very hard to meet an extremely difficult goal and made an incredible effort. Kudos Jared, I hope I can manage that type of dedication in my own efforts!

    Sorry if my blog sounds "salesy". Not my intention. A had a t-shirt idea a while back and some of my friend wanted one so I made them on T-spring so they could get one. You can't even get them anymore. I made a whole 20 bucks on it. Not here to sell people t-shirts. Also, yes I started out on a 50-700 calorie diet but have since then increased my calories and yes I still do run 4-5 miles every morning and then do weights every other day. I can assure you this is real.

    thanks everyone else for your kind words. Appreciate it!

    Dude, I hate to call you out but on another post not 15 minutes ago, http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/1091392-overtraining?page=1#posts-16833676 you posted this:
    I eat about 700-950 calories a day and run 5 miles every morning for 6 days a week. I have hard days and easy days. Sometimes if I've had a few hard days in a row then I just increase my calories a bit. Seems to always help. Here's a video that may help to: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hNvByZlyacg
    That is considered a Very Low Calorie Diet, which you shouldn't be promoting here. For your own sake, take your own advice and eat more.
    Edit: included link.

    Yeah 700-950 is higher than 500-700 is it not? Plus I'm slowly increasing the calories every week. It's not unhealthy. I've been doing it 4 months and lost 95 pounds and feel great. My blood pressure is better than most teenagers and I'm healthier than I've ever been in my life. I'm not here to fight with people. I was just wanting to share my experience. If this is what it's going to be like then I'd rather just leave altogether.
