Cut your food intake by 50% and start drinking water / coffee to combat hunger. I know I am losing weight when I am hungry between meals, most of the time I eat because it’s time to eat. Down 10 pounds in two weeks. It’s nothing special just eating what I should be eating in terms of quantity. Eating sweets? Skip a meal, etc.

2 weeks is easy. 2 months is hard. 2 years is really hard

  If you have kids it’s beyond hard.

  > 2 years is really hard Yeah, loosing 2 kg/week for two years is physically impossible for almost all obese people.

People area focusing on the 2 weeks thing but your approach is right, and I did something similar for about 6-8 months in order to lose 10kg and keep it off. I kept eating my regular food, just cut my portion sizes in half. It sucked… but it worked.

This is more or less what I do for a loss of ~3kg/month. At least for me, we're talking massive amounts of water, by the way. ~500ml every 2-3 hours, all day for the whole time. Ayran/yoghurt with more salt and water works better, likely because of the salt, but I've gotten too many small kidney stones that way - 100% sure, because I had to painfully piss them out and cut my urethra several times. And, well, yeah, bring a portaloo everywhere. The hunger gets to me every week, though, in which case I found it's OK to eat a lot of protein/fat (eggs, cheese, meat) for a day. Well, by a lot I mean maybe 3 times the normal food intake.

  500ml every 2-3 hours seems like a very normal amount of water. I drink more water than most and I usually go through 4-5 litres in a regular work day.

I lost 40lbs effortlessly, eating as much as I wanted, and I've kept it for a couple of years now.. by switching antidepressants. the one I was on before caused weight gain and sugar cravings. I gained 40lbs when I started taking it and lost it when I stopped. I just suddenly found sugar and carbs unappetizing, whereas before I'd get intense cravings. the experience further convinced me that weight regulation is metabolic or something. I used zero self-control, diet or exercise, and a chemical change brought me back to a healthy weight. my eating habits changed but it was subconscious, not willpower.

I guarantee that you're going to start seeing huge drop offs in another few weeks. 5lbs/week is significant, it's far more than would be expected with even a massive calorific deficit. You're losing water weight.
