“This woman had some serious unchecked thyroid problems.”
Maybe. But probably not. 44 pounds in 22 weeks works out to just 2 pounds per week. If I stopped exercising and doubled my calorie intake, which I think I could do easily, I bet I could gain two pounds per week.
I can almost guarantee this lady couldn’t exercise. Being this close to a heart attack and as big as she was to begin with, I’m sure she had problems walking to the bathroom.
