My 2 cents is to not set too high standards. 5 pound in a week is tasking your body. I doubt it will keep up with it. Atleast, allow yourself to deviate from it. I went from 104 kg (230lbs?) in (november or) december, to 92 kg now (203lbs). I am 1,85m BTW. With doing nothing more special than leaving snacks and cookies asside, and not going for the extra plate. When I use my bicycle to do errands in town I never have a backwind to keep me going if you know what I mean. And that usually means upto 20 minutes of pedalling. That's as much sporting as I do.
I was determined to put myself on a lazy weightloss schedule. I have no fixed weight-loss amount per time period in mind. Just a set goal to get back into the safe BMI region. I take my weight as it comes, and allways get a smile when it has dropped a 0.1 kg in the morning. Sure, I had setbacks, where it stalled or even kept at the 95 kg level for a month. Sometimes rising a bit. So be it. It's a signal you need to be more conscious of your regime again.
I think such quick weightloss regimes are going to put alot of extra bad moods in your mind. Which is difficult enough to cope with anyway when changing your lifestyle. If your deadline is 2 years then you'll do fine. I'm sure I'll get there too. Just don't sabotage yourself with such high expectations. That's a sure way to fail. Been there, done that.
