Good for them. [He lost 250 lbs. in one year and she lost 143.](http://thechive.com/2013/09/19/an-obese-couple-decided-to-journey-together-on-a-mission-to-shed-the-pounds-18-photos/) Is 250 lbs a year healthy? That seems incredibly quick. ---

My understanding is that 9000 calories deficit = 1kg weight loss… I’m closing in on 100,000 calories through exercise this year, and I’m not very serious about it…spend 90 minutes on a bike a day, and I’d think that would be about 30,000 calories (3.5kg) per month. ---

The Chive tends/tended to have a lot of joke articles, but I’ve been seeing a number of very serious, straightforward articles from them lately. ---
