Guest guest Posted June 27, 2004 Report Share Posted June 27, 2004 To date in all my research and groups I have never seen weightloss that rapid. The BMI calculator (http://clos.net/predict-wt-loss.htm) is fairly accurate and a much better predictor. I'm at 2-1/2 mths and thrilled at having lost 60 pounds with considerable exercise and following doctors orders, I'm not saying I wouldn't like to lose faster, but would seem very difficult to do, would welcome suggestions though .
