I lost it a few years ago now. I’ll answer some questions ahead of time so they can expanded on.
Do you have loose skin?: Yes. This one is obvious but it lets me specify that I went from 255lbs to 145lbs from February 28th to September 28th.
What was your lowest weight?: 135lbs at 6’1”
Why are you doing this AMA? Many people have a large amount of lost weight.: I’m doing this because of the method I used and the timeline I did it within. I didn’t think much of it at the time but losing that much weight that quickly doesn’t seem very common.
Asking anything you want, nothing off limits. I’ve probably heard it before.
Any question goes, I’ll answer it truthfully.

Were you in a constant state of hunger or did it become normal after a while also that’s an amazing feat good on you❤️❤️
Why didn’t you include exercise in this endeavor? Do you plan on ever becoming active?
Imagine that, you basically starved yourself and lost weight… Who would have thought…
Why didn’t you exercise?
Is 155lbs a typo?
Do you have any desire to workout now that you’ve lost all the weight? How do you plan to keep it off?
How did it worked for you? What would you eat?
Due to work constraints, I ended up doing OMAD (One Meal A Day) and still didn’t lose weight just slowed my metabolism. It saved me a lot of money and mental energy though
Did you get a lot of loose skin or anyway? Especially arms? I’m doing a similar loss and I’m curious what to expect .
How do u focus on work when you’re constantly starving ? I can’t focus. Plus how do u through your day with no food, starving, having have to work and focus ?
after the fast how did you make sure that you did not gain it back? from what i know the biggest problems with fasting is that you revert back to your old habits after cuz its not sustainable to fast indefinitely
has your lifestyle changed even without doing exercise
The extra loose skin around your stomach, has this tightened up now that it’s been a while, or the same? You mentioned you exercise and it’s helped, did/do you focus on ab work to try and minimize the looseness and have you noticed a significant change, or just minor? I’m in a similar position, down from the same (255 years ago), but some of the loose skin in that ab area hasn’t seemed to have changed over the years. Granted, I don’t hardcore focus on ab work, so I’m wondering if strong focus on that specific muscle area and growing larger abs would make a noticeable change to the loose skin there. For me, the other area of looseness is my inner leg/groin area, but it’s very minimal compared to my lower ab area.
What exactly did you do? Like how did you fast
Did you ever feel malnourished?
Just a couple sorta general info questions outta curiosity. Are you male or female? You obviously dont have to be exact but what ageish were you? Its alot easier to do this when your 15 than 55 lol. If male did you have any sexual dysfunctions befor during or after this?
I would not consider 250lbs at 6’1″ to be very large, so I would imagine that this was an eating disorder that drove you to take such a risky course of action. What helped you to regain healthy eating habits and a healthy relationship with food? Or do you still have disordered thoughts regarding food and weight?
Congrats! I did the same thing 12 years ago. I lost 45 lbs in 4 months, using a <1000 calorie a day diet.
