10 pounds the first week, I can see. Heavy intake of water will reduce the bodies dependancy on water retention. 4 pounds in week 2 calculates out about right. Basal metobolic rate (wieght in pounds / 2.2) in kg x 24 hours = seditantary calorie expendature or 2814 calories per day. Your recommended exercise programs calculates out to be about moderate activity adjusting his calorie expendature by about 1.5 or 4222 calories per day. Drop the 2000 for intake and you have a deficit of 2222 calories x 7 days or 15,554 calories. Divide this by 3,500 calories per pound of fat for 4.4 pounds.
Here is the problem. As his weight drops, so will his base line seditantary calorie expendature. At a weight of 180, weight loss would be less then 2 pounds per week. In order to maintain a 4 pound per week weight loss, he will need to intake less (not healthy) or increase the intensity of the exercise program.

We have before us an ordeal of the most grievous kind. We have before us many, many long months of struggle and of suffering. You ask what is our policy? I will say: It is to wage war, by sea, land, and air with all our might and all our strength that God can give us; to wage war against a monstrous tyranny, never surpassed in the dark, lamentable catalogue of human crime. That is our policy. You ask, What is our aim? I answer in one word: Victory Victory at all costs, victory in spite of all terror, victory, however long and hard the road may be; for without victory, there is no survival. Winston Churchill
