Okay I'm in my late 30's and for the first time in my life I need to go on a diet. I have lifted weight's 3-4 times a week for the last 20 years without interruption. I'm fine with my upper body but have developed a stomach.

I'm 6-0, 185lbs. and want to drop 20lbs. by summer. My question is I've been on a crash diet where I drink a glass of milk for breakfast, eat a banana for lunch, and eat a very small healthy dinner and have doubled up my stomach crunch's. I started this a week and half ago and I've lost 3 lbs. Shouldn't this be quicker???

Now I don't expect overnight results but for those of you that have dropped this type of weight what can I realistically expect?
