First - would: ask if you are over-weight? If you have normal weight - losing just to be skinny is often not the best idea. Second - concerned that you want to lose this much weight over such a brief period of time. If weight loss indicated would not recommend more than 2 pound per week average (except when sanctioned by your doctor).
