I don't believe that is in question. I think the issue is why the discrepancy between the two.

Well, he didn't tell us how much the guy lost.

Where's the tattoo on her left "bird" finger in the before shots? Is this the same woman?

That is all irrelevant. 15 lbs in 3 months is great.

15 pounds of actual fat is a lot of weight. The problem with personal anecdotes is that people are rarely completely honest regarding their diets.

"I know this girl who works out all the time and barely eats anything and she can't lose weight."

We hear that all the time. It's bullshite.

Take vitamins. Drink water. Don't eat. For 7 days. Sleep all day. Lay around. Then report back on how much your genetics changed to allow you to lose 5-7 pounds.

I'm detecting a lot of fat shaming in this thread. Fat shaming causes increased cortisol and therefore weight gain

Exactly.

I remember a fat acceptance video that was put on YouTube.

Some fatty in there starts off claiming that she doesn't eat much.

Halfway through, she states how much she likes to eat Chinese late at night.

Then a mock of the video shows a tweet of her eating ramen noodles at 2 AM.

They aren't honest with themselves or others.

I know you're trolling. I'm just discussing the point that people make regarding genetics. It's something we hear all the time.

A couple I worked with both bought Fitbits. She was fat, he was tall and lanky. They posted their results each week on Facebook. He didn't do shite, she was killing it. After our three month company weight loss contest ... she only dropped like 15 pounds.

A fat sloth that starts getting active and moving is going to gain muscle - just by moving all that fat around. Her total weight loss might have been 15 lbs but her fat loss was likely higher.
