"Twenty-five pounds in eight weeks?

I'm not a doctor, but I was told by one that the safe rate at which to lose weight (in terms of cardiovascular health) was a rate of about a pound a week, taking into account daily variations in weight. Doesn't losing more than three a week seem, uh, extreme?"

Well my Mom when she was obese lost 50 pounds in 6 months, but exercising every day and by dieting. She was 45 then. I know she didn't take any pills, so I don't think it's unhealthy.

Anyways as for on topic, this just seems like a desperate attempt to get attention and of course make a quick buck. I seriously don't think anyone is that stupid (although I have been surprised).
