Also look at the reality of the numbers.  A person can lose 100lb.  That person is not going to put on 100lb of muscle to fill up that space.  You can't take 100lb out of a bag, put 20lb back in, and expect it to be full.  Yeah, the skin adjusts a certain amount, but not enough to make up the difference when a person is losing that much weight.

Look at the guy that won the biggest loser a few years ago, he gained all his weight back in a year, and then some. Maintaining a healthy weight is a gradual thing, you cant just lose 100 lbs in 3 months. Thats crazy.

Yes. There is this strange misconception out there that when you finish losing a bunch of weight, you can just resume your old diet and maintain your body weight. any person's body is going to react first and foremost by gaining weight back, so any changes away from a diet has to be very gradual. The whole, "I'm done dieting, now let me feast to celebrate" is the worst thing anyone can do.

Also, I found the best way for me to diet is to simply eat less. I am still easily getting enough of the nutrition and calories that I need, but the smaller amount of food makes a difference. I've lost weight really quickly, about 4-5 pounds a week. I just fill the hunger void with water, and have been weening myself to less and less water to allow my body to adjust to a smaller appetite. It has becoming a bit frustrating recently though, since I now eat less than my wife. She feels bad that she is eating more food than me, so she is laying on the guilt that I should eat more.  :lol
