How to lose weight fast (ish) safely ?

^^^ A lot Of sense there, far better put than my first post ,
I am too lazy to tap out that much helpful info unfortunately! ::)

Thank for the replies.
I am on an exercise bike for 30-45 mins a day now.
Reduced food intake quite a lot, especially bread and junk food I used to eat a lot of.
Reduced carbs and sugar ( used to eat a lot of potato + bread all the time, way too much bread )I seem to have lost between 3 or 4 Lbs in just over a week, maybe 10 days and face looks visibly thinner and healthier.
I do feel weaker and felt myself getting a little dizzy once or twice but it has been a huge change really after letting myself go for many years.

I didn't want to quote it because it's big, but Lester's post times a thousand! He nailed it imo. It all comes from changing the bad habits and teaching yourself better ones. Without that, the results are just temporary at best.

Update : Lost near 18 lbs now and no longer classed as overweight
Congrats!
Stress and depression are the two main subjects that always been what I battle, I've been super fit and overweight, I try to keep my eye on the stress and processing depresion and not feed them, that helps me to be consistent with what I eat because it always reflects one with the other, we are all different sizes and lead different lives but at the end we get affected by things the same even tho we have a different theater of life or are strong in different departments. All the very best to everyone. -

Yessss! How many of your old jeans can you fit into now? Be careful you don't lose too much and have to buy a bunch of size 30s

That is quite a transformation. Are you doing any form of training as well as watching the calories?
I have stopped losing weight now because I noticed I was getting gradually weaker and weaker.
My new plan is to try and stay roughly the same weight but build some strength back so I have started eating a little more and doing some weights / push ups etc.But when I was losing weight I was cycling on a machine 5 or 6 days a week until my knee started to make a clicking noise all the time after about 8 weeks. So I switched to walking for about 1.5 hours a day instead.

That rate of weight loss will strip muscle as well as fat which explains the weakness. Strength training sounds like a good plan as does increasing calorie intake.
I’d recommend using a calorie counter and tracking your consumption/burn. If you continue in a calorific deficit while training you’re likely to damage yourself, on the other hand, eating too much will hurt your progress. Well done!

You can train on a calorie deficit. You won't damage yourself, it will just slow down your progress.
You certainly can, but if you consistently try to increase volume and intensity while in a deficit you may well find yourself reaching for reps you’re in no shape to reach for and that can affect form and lead to injury.
Edit: you also have to watch your recovery times a lot for carefully.
