    Cut to the chase...

    In no particular order:

    1. "Smart" scales are useless insofar as they are impedance dependent (fantastic for lightening your wallet though, like many products touted by the weight-loss industry)....

    Possible? Yes. Likely? NO. Losing that much weight in that short a time period requires a MAJOR calorie deficit. Whether that deficit is attained through diet alone or diet and exercise, neither the...

    I am not a doctor, but unless my weight directly threatened my life in a sufficiently immediate time-frame (die from some illness if I don't lose 100lb ASAP), then $250/month for a couple of shakes...

    Well, what I would suggest is that depending how far below 20% you are, you should track what you're doing and how much you're consuming over a period to determine just where "maintenance" is. Then...

    THIS. If you consume fewer calories than expended, weight loss (be it fat, or lbm from skeletal muscle or internal organs) will occur. BUT the big caveat, the massive gotcha lurking in the shadows...

    I have the basic outline and am still reading. It addresses a lot of the long-term 9-5-job with family concerns above. Obviously, certain caveats do apply (illness, nature of work--if you work...

    That is definitely encouraging news (provided those friends are not the eat-anything-and-never-gain-a-pound slender people we all secretly hate LOL).

    Not to worry (the geek part LOL). For me, while I was growing up I was the fat kid. When I got to college I was 19, 5' 10" and weighed 225lb. I started working out religiously to the point it became...

    Hmmm, and during your athletic years in college, would you say you tracked your weight and diet? The reason I ask is that I'm trying to figure how your "natural" go-to diet and exercise habits have...

    If you don't mind my asking, how much did you weigh during your college years (average)? After graduating college, was the weight gain consistent, or was it faster at times, and slower at others...

    2,4-dinitrophenol and other metabolic uncouplers are not illegal, but VERY dangerous (take too much and your body overheats and cooks itself). Point taken though!

    To the OP, without details regarding the 800-900 Calories my only recommendation is to buy an accurate food scale, and a measuring cup. Another option is to restrict your PSMF to some appropriately...
