Is this too fast?

This pic represents my weight loss since September 5th until today. I lost 10kg since then (a little more than 22 pounds). Is this to fast? I'm 5'10" (178cm) and have 168.5lbs (65.5kg), and my ideal weight should be/is 150lbs (68kg). I started in May, but didn't have the courage to weigh myself often, I just know I started with 209lbs (95kg), so I just posted you this info from september until now. What do you think is 22 pounds in 4 months to fast? And 43 pounds (19.5kg) since the middle of May??

I don't want to gain all this back, I have worked so hard to get it off, so I don't want to rush my weight loss.

    I think it´s totally ok.
    So, as I cant see your diary, hope it´s not by fasting the whole time :)
    But for normal, you can calculate with 0.5 to 1 kg a week with healthy eating and sports.

    So, you´re on a good way.

    That's 5.5lbs lost a month. That isn't out of line. (1.3lb/s a week roughly)

    Good job and keep it up!

    I actually don't logg my foods here so it wouldn't help if you cold see (the empty) diary, I use the Calorie Counter app but you guys are so much more active on the forums :D I used to play volleyball professionaly, but when I stopped I gained a lot of weight. I now have practices 2 times a week (just for recration, but we are all former volleyball players), I try to go to school with my bike, I'm thinking of joining a fitness. I've been eating 1600-1700 on average.

    Doesn't seem too fast... but I would think that you should expect it to slow down soon, as you are getting closer to your goal weight.

    You think you are rushing? Well what is the rush anyway?
