Just thought I'd mention....I went to fat camp when I was 16 (oy vey!!!) and they made it very clear that the people that lose upwards of 6 lbs per week (there were a lot of us) aren't doing too much harm SO LONG AS WE HAVE THAT MUCH TO LOSE. Comparitvely speaking, a person that is 100 lbs overweight can handle losing 8 lbs in a week moreso than someone that is only packing 20 extra lbs. So, depending on how big you are, losing more than 2 lbs per week woudln't be that big a deal, for a while.
I can understand that, but even at my heaviest, my doctor told me you should never ever lose more than 2 pounds per week to avoid buring muscle.
