If Your Bigger You Lose Weight Quicker

I've always been told that if your really over the amount of weight your supposed to weigh that you lose weight quicker? Is this true?

There are several reasons why overweight people lose weight faster, but I think the primary reason is that a larger body consumes more calories just existing. Overweight people have a higher base metabolic rate. Imagine the extra exercise it takes to cart around a 10, 20, 50 or 100 pound weight everywhere you go.
