How much weight could I lose in 6 weeks?

I weigh 265 pounds now. Would losing 20-30 pounds be possible? I know when you are heavier you can lose more than 2 pounds in the first few weeks and be fine.

I would drink about 100 ounces of water a day.
I would watch my portions and eat rice, chicken, fruits and veggies.
I would walk at least 30 minutes a day.
I would also do some strength training.

Anything else I could do?

I was able to lose 5-7 pounds a week pretty much every time I have tried for the first 2weeks, it slows drastically after that, most early fast weight loss is water, it does help inspire and continue trying. This time I had over 80 pounds to lose, slowed to 1-2 pounds a week now, and sure it will continue to slow.

They sound like sensible things to do - but no one will be able to tell you how much weight you can lose, you just have to go with it and see what happens.

My only advice is that you don't suddenly cut your calories to a minimum and workout like a crazy thing - eat well (reasonable quantity of nutritious food) and exercise regularly and you WILL see a difference in 6 weeks.

Go for it!
