Where I applaude your desire to lose that weight that fast, its unhealth to do so at that rate. A normal rate is 2 lbs per month and it goes up the heavier you are. I have a friend who is a RN and he has helped me with a lot of information on weightloss. the issue with losing that much weight that fast is your body doesnt have time to adjust, and when you go back to a semi normal lifestyle your body puts the fat back on. Good luck to you, and I wish you the best.
I always thought that was a bit extreme, as was me losing seventy pounds in three months
I ain't been right since ( Mono story in previous post ).

Lost 90 lbs when I got divorced. Have gained back 40 since. Just got involved in a wellness program at work thats showing and coaching me into living healthier. Like eating better, quitting smoking, drinking etc....
Amazing how much better I feel, and "Dead sexy baby!"

Well, I was very close in my weight guesstimation.
Starting stats:
Male age 33
5'10"
211 lbs.
Eased into the gym this morning with 30 minutes cardio and some weights. Man, was I sweating like a pig!! Breakfast was good though!! Eggs, with avacado, mushrooms, turkey, and a bit of cheese.

I am joining you in a different way, I'm not going to worry about weight right now I embarked on a different health journey two weeks ago today. I quit smoking and for now I think that is enough of a challenge, once my metabolism settles back down then I'll worry about the weight I will gain. As it is I'm running up and down stairs all day every day and it was getting hard to breathe, now I'm doing it at a much faster pace...:)
Good for you

Well, Day 2 and I'm still sweating my butt off!! Bought my vitamins last night and started taking them today. Everyone wanted pizza for lunch today so I only had 1 slice and ate yesterdays leftover Ground Turkey Tacos.

Ok, so today I took the day off from the gym. However, I am so proud of myself. Today for lunch we had Pot Roast with potatoes and carrots. I actually ate the CARROTS!!!! GO ME! GO ME! GO ME! 
Just don't expect me to eat raw ones though
