I'm out to lose 150 lbs and the first two weeks have been great. About a pound per day is disappearing and only once did I add a few potato chips. Many tempting opportunities and snacking patterns have been overcome. I log faithfully. My wonderful wife is super supportive working on a 20lb decline herself. Unfortunately my day is so packed I can't squeeze in gym time. I've set my profile as sedentary. MFP recommends 1900 cal per day for 2lb per week loss. I'm eating high protein, low fat and carb, and lots of fresh and raw veggies. I'm finding that 1200-1300 is plenty of calories to satiate and provide energy.

Is it OK to lose fast at first if I'm not feeling deprived? Or should I slow it down to 2lb per week by eating more?

    As a male, you should eat more. Also eat complex carbs and healthy fats. I cut carbs out by 6pm daily. I eat fats all day. I also eat 160-200g of lean protein a day. If you cant make it to the gym, find a home workout. If you can eventually find time to go to the gym I recommend lifting weights for 30 mins.
