I started in early October and have just now reached the 19 pounds lost mark. I am older than you and had less to lose total, so it may go a little faster for you. However, I lost steadily at a rate of about .5-1 pound per week, which is the rate I'd recommend for most people. (The 2 pounds a week is too aggressive for anyone who isn't really and truly obese.)
