My doctor and I couldn't believe it and I'm still shocked and amazed. He said that it was probably water weight or some thing like. He also said if I keep losing weight like that then I need to stop he said losing more then 2 pounds aweek can bad for my health. Is that true?

First of all, congratulations on the 20 lbs!! Keep up the great work! I'm sure this will be the first milestone of many for you!
I've heard that loosing around 10 lbs a month is supposed to the max for it to be safe weight loss. Anymore, and it's said that you will loose muscle and water. I think you're right on target, so keep doing with you're doing!
I lost my weight slowly (about 5 lbs per month), and I've never had this much success in keeping it off (even though I've gained about 5 lbs for Christmas  ), but I know once the chocolate is out of my sight I'll be able to work that off.
You're doing fantastic! Your first post here sounded like you were about to give up, but you sound like a new person now! All your hard work is paying off, and you're on your way to a healthier, happier you!

Thank you. Christmas was hard with all the cakes,pies,and other junk but I beat it by sleeping through dinner and by playing video games to keep me busy and took my mind off of the food.

I do say the same thing to others that 2lbs a week is the max that people should shoot for through eating changes alone. With exercise too I don't see why a little more than 2lbs would be unsafe. I cannot imagine that 20lbs is all water weight. No way.

That is what my doc said but I don't know nothing about stuff like that. I am just happy that the 20 pounds is gone. I been busting my butt too do it tho. I been lifting 20-30 mins a day but I rest on sunday and I also been walking more and those tips work audrey thanks. I have also found some new hobbies and stuff to do to keep me busy. Today was the time I have ever played pool and it was fun but I was awful at it.

At first the weight loss is rapid, and if this truly is a lot of water weight that you lost, then I'm guessing that your weight loss will slow down a bit in the coming months. I'd play it by ear and see if this weight loss pace keeps up.

well done bud... nice to see the weight finally starting to shift hey? keep it up and don't get discouraged... come back on here and similar weight loss sites for further motivation if you start feeling down about your weight loss... its a long term commitment and no one says it will be easy... but it certainly will be well worth the effort.. keep it up!

You're making progress!
Make sure you eat all your calories, you've still got to keep your body functioning to loose weight, and who feels like working out when they don't have any energy
Just think, when you've reached your goal, you're going to be ripped!

When I got ill I keep having awful headaches that wouldn't go away and alot stomach pain. I havn't felt that bad since I had double pneumonia. It made weigh lifting hard cause I didn't feel like doing anything but lay around. I gain some weigh alil setback but that ain't going to stop me. My weight has destroyed and take over my life long enough and I will do anything to get rid of it, even if it kills me. Right now my life sucks I can't do much and Im so miserable if I don't take control my weight is going to kill me anyway so might as well go down fighting it.

You are such a strong person! Don't ever give up, and keep up with your counting calories and exercise. Are you still drinking your water too?
