Yep. There are people who have lost lots of weight and have excess skin as a result, like Beady says.

I had no problem, fortunately, with excess skin when I lost 40-50 pounds twice.

But a 600 pound person MUST lose a substantial amount of weight, preferably quickly. A 300 pound person could more afford to lose the weight slower.

I've lost 30 pounds in one month, once. I've lost 40-ish pounds in a few months, multiple times. I lost 45 pounds this last winter.

But a high-subscriber youtube channel that makes a grand, click-worthy claim but didn't journal it as it happened? I have my doubts.

If I lost 100 pounds, I’d be 10 pounds.

How long the weight loss is maintained is more important than how quickly its lost.

Even if you lose weight that fast with a deprivation diet isn't sustainable; there needs to be a middle ground.

Even if you need to lose that much, probably better not to lose it in 3 months. Rapid weight loss or gain is statistically worse for your health than remaining stable at an obese weight. It's recommended to aim for about a pound a week. So you should be looking to lose 100 pounds over 2 years, not 3 months.

Besides, if it comes off that fast, you're more likely to gain it all back quickly, too. And more.
