You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

In addition, your other leg would have to build more muscle mass to support your body's weight. And if you want to lose weight for health reasons, the risks of amputation and post-operative complications far outweigh any benefits.
There are so many issues to address here, I won't go into all of them. However, losing weight for health benefit requires loss of fat tissue, not just random subtraction at the scales. When you lose fat mass (particularly around the abdomen), you decrease the amount of hormone-secreting fat cells that make a person insulin resistant. If you just chop off a limb, you are doing nothing to improve your metabolism.
Hope that answers the question!
