I'm aiming to lose 72 lbs in 72 days, who thinks I can't do it?

Blain, to lose weight you'll have to be technically starving.....to lose that much weight you WILL be starving. 1kg = 2,5lbs or thereabouts, 1kg = more or less 7000 calories. You're talking about running a negative 2500 calories a day diet. To achieve that, you either don't eat, or you eat so little and exercise so much that it would be considered a war crime.

I'm not a doctor but i've worked for a couple months in a hospital....i've seen people trying to do what you're planning that ended up in the ICU. Talk to a dietician.

I'm not your mother, your father or brother, i'm just someone with empathy and common sense that doesn't like people harming themselves.

You are correct, I'm running a caloric deficit but I do eat, quite well actually, and I don't exercise. :)
I could go to the lab and get scans or blood tests to ease everybodies fears and shock them at the same time I guess. Which ones would satiate your concern?

You eat "quite well", don't exercise and run a deficit.

I'm sorry...one of these is not true. Which one is it?

All will be revealed in time. :) Follow me for updates and results.
