Mushmadness - 20.5lbs wow - wot did you eat???

I too have loads to lose, won't go into detail here but I though I'd give you a brief update on what I am doing and the progress I've made.

I have lost 5.5lbs in a week, I've walked 3 miles each night for six nights during that week and have been swimming once. Now I tell you, I do look like Shamu in a costume (and soooo not cute) BUT I decided to brave it and just get in the water as quickly as possible - once you are in there no one cares.

For breakfast each week-day I have weetabix and semi skimmed milk, a salad for lunch - all veggies sometimes tuna, and a calorie counted ready meal in the evenings. I drink loads of water. Now let me assure you that I am no paragon of virtue, come the weekends, I am good during the day but let go at night (ie had a pizza on Saturday and wine). It seems to be working though...

So to everyone else out there who wants to lose weight - do what's right for you and GOOD LUCK!!!!!

Funny thing is i've just started to do alot more walking(well having a dog helps) I've tried cutting out chocolate and pizzas etc but sometimes i do eat them just as a treat.

Sorry guys I hate to say this but 20.5lb in 2 weeks is too much - that is dangerous. I don't what you did to lose it that fast but I wouldn't recommend you continue as you could seriously damage your health. I know when I go to the blood donor place they ask if I am on a diet (routine question) and they say they won't allow you to donate if you are losing more than a stone a month so to lose nearly a stone and a half in 2 weeks would have them really telling you off.

Don't mean to sound negative but please be careful. Btw I'm not a skinny person quite the opposite I need to lose a fair bit of weight myself (probably around 5/6 stone) but exercise is my problem - my diet is generally pretty good but I'm sat at a computer all day and don't feel like doing anything when I get home. I've lost about 4/5 pounds recently without really trying because I've been busy at home and while I admire all of you that have lost the large amounts that I don't seem to be shift I hate for anything to happen to one of you as a result of losing too much too quickly.
