    I started to eat better foods and kicked up my exercise routine. Is this too much weight too fast or not enough? I'd like to drop 10-15 more.

    Typically medical professionals say about 2lbs lost per week is healthy weightloss, so if you calculate that (multiply by 4, then by 2, you get 16). I think you're FINE! As long as you aren't completely starving yourself, you're just fine! Some people also lose weight faster than others (depending on their body chemistry and exercise/diet).
    Be proud of yourself and keep it up (as long as you aren't underweight). If rib bones and shoulder blades begin to jut out and cheeks become gaunt and cheekbones extremely pronounced, you've gone too far! There is a massive obsession (mainly by young girls) in this country with being skinny, lanky, tiny, bony waifs - it's not natural or healthy. The body MUST have a specific percentage of fat on it (depending on height, age, level of exercise) in order to maintain good health. Starvation and malnutrition can cause hair loss, drop in libido, lethargy, apathy, bone density loss, fragile nails, inability to carry a child to term (in women) and even DEATH.
    Don't obsess and as long as you are within healthy weight parameters for your height (and bone structure), you are doing the right thing.

    not at all, I lost 22lbs in about that same amount of time, but it gets harder to lose from there on out. You've got to start figuring out to keep tricking your body, so it will still want to eat that fat up.

    You should probably only lose a few pounds a week..

    Yes that is a perfect rate! Normally I lose around 10lbs a month if I am very dedicated. So long as you are not starving yourself or over-excercizing, you are doing fine. Expect the rest to come off a little slower, though.
