Yeah I was thinking that is a massive drop in such a short time. I find as I get older that when pushing harder the body pushes back so different strategy now. Not necessarily limiting normal calorie intake but burning a little more and doing interval training seems to work best for me. I lose weight slower but increase muscle mass and shed fat. Easier this way and less of a hit on the system.
