Hello! Obviously, I can see this post is a bit out of date, but I'd love to know how you got on? I'm currently trying to lose weight somewhat quickly for an event (I have 54 days from now, which will be seven weeks starting Monday), and am just wondering about any results other people have noticed over a similar time period. =)

That's only seven pounds in seven weeks. Anything more (like 20lbs) would require acts that may not be healthy or sustainable.
