Is it possible to lose 20 pounds a month for six months or longer?

Call it wishful thinking if you want, but so far (for eleven weeks) I've been losing about 5 pounds per week. I do exercise 5 days a week. I was wondering, is it possible to keep that rate up, at least during my "honeymoon" period of six months? The way I've calculated it, if I keep up this pace I'll lose all my weight by the end of the year, which would mean almost 180 pounds in eight months! Am I crazy for even thinking this could be a possibility? For longer post-ops, for how long was your weight loss steady? Also, if it matters, I'm 24.
