The physical or mental elderly?

Weight loss beyond 5 pounds per month can be dangerous. 25 lbs is a huge
risk
for the elderly.
Look it up.

A risk for the infirm maybe but I am anything but.

I have NO diseases, no infirmities and no health
problems. When one is overweight the BEST thing
to do is get rid of the weight as fast as possible.

Of course, starving is not a safe thing to do but
eating right and exercising the weight off IS.

Speed of Weight Loss When Dieting
If you have more than 15-20 pounds of weight to lose, the fastest realistic
speed of weight loss is about 2 pounds per week.

Of course it is possible to lose weight faster, but too rapid weight loss can
cause problems.

1. You may develop loose skin, especially if you lose a lot of weight.

2. You may lose too much water weight. Since water weight is regained within a
very short time, this can be de-motivating.

3.You are unlikely to develop the type of improved eating habits that are
necessary to sustain the weight loss and prevent weight regain.

4. Losing weight rapidly can "shock" the system and has been linked to stroke.

Fatalistic bullcrap. As you can well notice, I'm still here.

More fat people die from strokes and heart attacks than people losing
weight.

Water weight is a myth.

Developing proper diet has nothing to do with losing weight.
If one had a proper diet and exercised regularly one would
not have to lose weight in the first place.

Loose skin will tone up after a period of time unless the
skin is permanently stretched as is often the case in
morbidly obese people who often have to have folds of
skin surgically removed. Being 20-30 pounds overweight
does not stretch the skin permanently.

Odd that when Irwin Yacht required you to take a drug test before
providing a piece of paper (pay check) you refused, but when the USCG
requires a drug test for a piece of paper (wall ornament) you gladly
took the test. Seems your values are misplaced.

I got it that low simply by exercising, losing 25 pounds

and eating right.

Of course I also passed the **** test.

Of course I documented sufficient hours aboard my

Of course I filled out all the paperwork correctly.

And, of course, I will continue to be a Master in good

Thank you all listening.

Just the opposite. When one has a job as a common laborer
being paid eight bucks an hour installing systems in yachts
one has no responsibly concerning public safety.

On the other hand when one is the Captain of a vessel
with passenger's lives at stake one should not balk at
proving one's competence.

Big difference there.

Hold on hoss... that's certainly not true. How about the
person being so stoned that they install something backwards,
which starts a fire.

Then the installer or the inspector would catch the
error long before it ever got to the customer.

Maybe, maybe not... let's not forget the screwed up heart transplant
incident. It started with a small mistake and someone died for lack
of follow through.
