    Yes, I lost 100 lbs in 6 months. I went from 380 to 278. For the first four months I ate 1500 calories a day of 100% fat from butter and coconut oil. One day in seven I would have steak pan fried in butter with salad. The last two months I adjusted my macros to 70% fat, 25% protein and 5% carb with a calorie deficit of 20% below maintenance. No cheat days! We got to have more than enough cheat days, otherwise we wouldn't be where we are. Google "bulletproof diet" to get more details. It's not easy, but it can be done.

    Also, ignore naysayers who claim that rapid weight loss is unsafe or that you'll just put it all back on. There's no evidence that a rapid rate of weight loss can cause long term damage or serious harm. Regardless, there's no way rapid weight loss could be more unsafe than lifelong morbid obesity. And "you'll just gain it all back" can be said of any diet. Once you reach a healthy weight it all comes down to continuing to eat right and keeping active. I hope you succeed :)

    Well according to your Ticker you've only lost 24 pounds and have 66 to go. Does that mean you put it all back on? Obviously this bulletproof diet wasn't a long term solution not exactly a great advert for it.

    Not sure why you needed to res erect this thread though?

    Ha! I was going to say the same thing but didn't because this thread is so old.

    I started my weight loss on Oct. 5th 2013, I weighed 452 lbs. On April 24th 2014 I weighed 350.

    When I started off my calorie goal to lose 2 lbs was 2,800 calories, I ate around 1,700. I lost the first 50 lbs. by New Years.

    After the first of the year I upped my average calories to about 2,300 calories and started to go for walks, I've been walking about 2 miles 3 times a week.

    I've felt great all along the way and in no way felt like this was unhealthy, in fact I feel like I'm in as good of shape as I was when I was 20 years old, I'm 42.

    Again, you were 452 lbs. I'm going to go out on a limb and say the majority of the people here are not or were not 452 lbs. You cannot compare your situations to others.

    People that were so morbidly obese need to stop thinking that the rules that apply to them apply to the masses.

    Where did I say my situation applies to any one else, or that I thought my situation applies to any one else. All I did was say my situation.

    I get the hint, since I was morbidly obese I'll keep my comments to my self and not talk about my personal weight loss in the future.

    One more thought, wouldn't ANYBODY that needs to lose 100 lbs. be morbidly obese?

    That's why I gave my specifics and said how much I weighed, how many calories were my goal, how many calories I ate.

    So anybody reading knew exactly what my specifics where. No where did I make any statement or any claim, everything was specifically to what I've done.

    Maybe I'm mistaken. I thought this was a forum and people used it to talk about their weight loss.

    I'll leave the board and only allow people who have a certain amount of weight to lose.

    What exactly amount of weight would that be, so others know and don't make the same mistake I made.

    I joined MFP well into my weight loss to start tracking calories and macros. No, I haven't put the fat back on.


    Is it ok with you that I replied? I'm not sure I did so within the acceptable timeframe. And here I thought these forums were for mutual support...
