Gangrell, without involving the precise mathematics, let me just say that for any normally overweight person, it is impossible to burn 20 pounds of fat in two or even three weeks, let alone with as little exercise as a 30 minute walk per day. You sure you didn't also greatly decrease your calorie intake as well during that period? Walking for 210 minutes would barely burn half a pound. Now I'm guessing that you had probably stuffed a lot of food and/or liquid in you before weighing yourself the first time. It's not unreasonable to measure a difference of 20 pounds within two weeks time, but I'd be willing to bet that at least 80% of those 20 pounds consisted of water, glycogen, half digested food and muscle tissue.
