Been here before?: Your name is familiar. Trying to lose that much weight this fast? A mile a day is good for about 140-200 calories a day; roughly 3500 calories to the pound-that's a lot of walking. Cut out and/or spend 500 calories/day, lose about 1.5 pounds/wk. With wt loss the fatty liver should get better-smaller, more normal lab results. If weight is lost involuntarily, it could be problem follow up w/md(.
