It is much too much weight, too fast.

They will likely fall victim to the 'yo-yo' syndrom, when they are back in real life and don't have access to the exercise equipment for all those hours in the day.

I'd rather lose 1 lb a month for a year, and keep it off.

They are nice people, if not naive.
More courage than I have.

God help them.

All of the people on BL are morbidly obese. All of them. They are at SUCH a huge risk for any number of fatal health crises, if not already in many dangerous health crises. Losing 1 pound a month- for them (and many overweight people) would never allow them to become healthy (and most likely happier) in this life time.

Losing 20, 30 pounds a month- under a doctor's care, mind you, and performing physical exercise nearly most of the day, is much healthier for them then carrying this excess weight for another month or two.
