I have been doing all of these things and just reached 50 pounds lost this week. But it took me 7 months, as I ran into several plateaus even though I was working hard the entire time. There was no way my body was going to let me lose that much in 90 days. It seemed determined to maintain homeostasis. A goal like that is a little too lofty (unless you have well over 100 pounds to lose) and sets one up for frustration and failure. But I agree with the "how to" part. Adding more fat has gotten me off my most recent never-ending plateau. Less than 30 pounds to go until I reach my goal--a healthy BMI.

These are the two concerns I have. Maybe a highschool boy does identify as female. I highly doubt he has had reassignment surgery at such a young age. That being said, my 14 year old daughter shouldn't have to see his member in the locker room shower even though she is perfectly safe. Also, I worry about the girl who decides to exercise this right by using the boy's bathroom or locker room. Thinking she is "one of the guys" can be really unsafe for her, considering how often a group of young people together can result in really poor decision making. A single non-gendered bathroom with shower seems like such a better option to me, as I realize it can be bad for a male who identifies as female to use the boys bathroom as well, due to bullying.
