Good for you!!
I'm only 5' 10", and at one point I weighed 235#. I went on a pretty radical regimen (under a Doctor's care) and lost about 70# in about 3 months.
Couple of hospital stays and health problems later, I've put back about 15#, but I don't get as much exercise now that I'm retired.

Losing that much weight in that little time is pretty bad for you I think. I'm not sure how much you weigh now but losing a lot of weight fat may cause you to have extra loose skin (if you lose weight gradually it shrinks along with your body)

That's because you weigh all of twelve pounds. :p

If I lost eight pounds in six days, I'd weigh around 220. I've already lost three pounds or so in the last four weeks without doing anything but running. :D

I have lost almost 40 pounds in the last two months. But then living an active life and n ot eating for days at a time will do that to you. I was eating like 3500 calories a day, when i decided to lose weight i ate about that much a week. Was so stupid, I could've (and probably did) caused permanent injury to myself. Keep at but be careful. Good luck.
