Post "Extreme" 1 month weight loss blog - thoughts?

I came across this blog about a woman on a journey to lose 30 pounds in 30 days..she is around my weight so I'm interested to see how this works out for her. Thoughts on her methods?

I'm more interested in seeing how she handles it after the 30 days and 30 pounds.

I think she will lose a lot of weight. But not 30 pounds. When she realizes that I think she will get discouraged.

@cherrypie - Hmm thats what I thought .. I'm around her weight and I haven't been doing anything NEARLY as intense as she is, but after the first 4 pounds, my weight loss has been super slow.

@mammasita - I know right! I read that she does work, so I'm interested to see how she fits this into her schedule.

I guess regardless, it would be interesting to see the end result.

I think it is completely unrealistic for someone her weight to lose 30lbs in a month. She also appears to be focusing on only long haul cardio which promotes muscle wasting and will make it difficult to keep off any weight. She also is a student and works part-time and I think the only way you could make this even remotely possible is if you were to dedicate your time to staying on plan. i am not saying you can't lose weight with these obstacles only that 30lbs isn't realistic.

If she was 200+ lbs I would think it more realistic but at such a low body weight of 170lbs it just doesn't make sense. I think setting a goal like that is more likely to lead to disappointment.

It looks like she has stopped blogging. She had no plan that I could see.
