Don't get too confident. If you're doing things the wrong way, most of this weight loss will consist of fluid, fat,
and muscle. As an example, with crash dieting, if you lost 20 pounds in 20 days, the first 6 to 10 pounds would be fluid, and the rest fat and muscle. Oh, you'd also lose other things such as aerobic power, strength, and metabolism.* Isn't that effectively stunting you against your goal? You'd be setting yourself up to fizzle out when you're trying to work your body to were you want it to be.
Doing things against the good advice listed here really is unsustainable. It's well documented.
