I'd like to see the actor playing Hurley start losing weight noticably, maybe 20 pounds+, in the first season/40 days.
He's strong, capable, and pitches in. The restricted diet, mostly proteins and fish and a little boar meat together with the physical activity, IRL he'd be rolling off the weight after a month.
Mainly I know this because I was (and am again) big like that and I started shedding pounds like water when I was isolated taking care of a run-down resort back during the summer when I was in college.
Poor actor would have to work hard off camera for it, tho.
After ~30 days, will Hurley remain heavy?
Go ahead. Turn this into an Atkins advert.
We will lurve Kat, anyway.
Sawyer, "I made this birthday wish 4 years ago." Another 4 year crack.

Any other "four years" references so far?
Jack, you're trapped in an alpha male body. Deal, buddy.
Damn, I like Locke. I also dig Hurley. Shannon's the only one I want to vote off the island.
Go, DCJ, with pounds-shedding!
You? The Man!
I'd say so. Larger people tend to have lower metabolisms, so he may lose less weight per day than people with a much smaller share of extra padding.
Several of the heaviest Survivor contestants could still be described as heavy after even an almost 40 day stint on the show.
ETA: Context, and: while many of the skinnier contestants turned positively skeletal.
Weight loss X-postyness.
Still? It did take two or three weeks for it to start rolling off. I lost over 100 pounds in six-seven months without trying hard. Lost even more at the 1 year mark.
Sadly, I'd gained it all back in the ten years since I had surgury*. Losing it again is a much harder process.
ETA: * No, not weight-related.
We will lurve Kat, anyway.
For the record, that question was brought to you not by me, but I was merely channelling Allyson.
For Deena:
I'm an ordinary man, Jack. Meat and potatoes. I live in the real world. Not a big believer in...magic. But this place, it's different, it's special. The others don't want to talk about it because it scares them. But we all know it, we all feel it. Is your white rabbit a hallucination? Probably. But what if everything that's happened here happened for a reason? What if this person you're chasing is really here?
And:
But I've looked into the eye of this island, and what I saw...was beautiful.

Locke lost the use of his legs four years ago.
