Are they burning like 1200 CAL a day on the treadmill and other excercises?

the math will show you the answer you want. a 2000 cal daily intake won't maintain a 300 pounder. figure it takes closer to 3000 cals minimum to keep that kind of poundage.
also, do they lose that much consistently, week after week? it's probably water weight lost the first week. losing ~8 non-water pounds a week = a 4000 cal/day deficit. very hard to do.
