    Congratulations on the weight loss ..... don't mean to rain on your parade ..... BUT .... on your channel you have a video with suggestions on losing weight fast - the comment that completely dumbfounded me is that you suggest to find your BMR (not even TDEE) and eat 60-75% below that. For me, 36 year old female at 5'2" at 174 lbs that would mean I would need to eat 393 - 637 cals per day????? REALLY????? That's the point of MFP?????

    eat 75 of that, not off. So about 1300 for you.

    Also, for the people saying I lost weight too fast, I was under the supervision of trained professionals with blood work every two weeks monitoring every possible thing. Losing weight too fast CAN be dangerous, this is why i was being monitored by doctors. I do not recommend following my regime, unless you have the same resources to stay focused on health and not the number on the scale. Hope that clears everything up.

    Thank you everyone for the kind words, and yes please feel free to share it on your Facebooks and anywhere were someone may be inspired by it.

    As far as 2 pounds a week for "healthy" weight loss, that is under specific diet and exercise, mind you guys, I eat up to 2500 calories a day, run on average 7 miles a day, and so I do not lose muscle mass I lift weights everyday. My strength has increased and my muscle percentage has dropped by less than 2% according to doctor.

    Again, I was CLOSELY supervised on this transition, I was given a life span expectancy and told if I did not loss weight I would die.

    You should not shoot for this loss in a 6 month time fame unless you have doctor recommendation and nutritionist recommendation to do so.

    I showed the video to tell my story and show people, weight loss IS possible, HUGE weight loss IS possible. You just may need a little motivation and hopefully this video reaches at least one person who can change their life with it.

    Thanks guys and gals.
