I've heard that losing more than 10 lbs per month is not healthy. Is that true?

my money is on it's personal...it worked for totf, yes, but my personal opinion is it's all about the work you put into it. If you put the same amount of effort on a treadmill as you do outside, you'll get to a similar result...treadmill's are a bit misleading because you have the momentum of it working for you, so you need to work seemingly harder.
I personally find that running outside is psychologically better. Get fresh air, and you're actually going somewhere...you're continually pushing yourself to get back to where you started instead of just reaching the 30 minute mark.
But, to each his or her own.
TOTF - thanks for motivating me once again to get off my ass and get to the gym
