    Around the same here so far.

    Roughly 1% of my weight each week.

    How much weight do you have to lose? If less than 100, you are losing muscle along with fat, and you don't want to do that.

    1.47. How long have you been losing at this rate? If you just started or are very obese then that is probably ok, but 3 pounds is kind of a lot. As kshama said at that rate you will be losing lots of muscle along with fat and that isn't good. If you are just a few weeks into it though a lot of that is probably water and the rate should slow down. You should aim for 1-2 pounds a week or less if you don't have much to lose.

    Just under a pound a week. I don't want to loose any more than that because I only want to loose body fat, not muscle.

    It will be different for people as it depends on your current weight (as it is easier to make a higher deficit at higher weight). I'm 70kg and losing about 0.4kg a week now.

    I am currently losing about 0.5 lbs per week. I'm in a healthy weight range now, but for the first few months I was losing 1.3-1.8 lbs per week.

    Given that I have less than 5 pounds to go...I'm losing less than 0.5 pounds a week! I am still losing super slowly so the plan is to reach goal weight by May 31.

    Varies, .5-1.8pds lately. If only weight loss was always lateral. :lol:

    After losing 30 lbs in 100 days, my weight has slowed down to .5 lbs a week. :( I'm in a healthy weight for my height at 5'8" and 147, with 9 lbs to go to goal.

    I know, healthy, and normal... but still discouraging after dropping 30 lbs so quickly.

    0.50 average.

    Wanted to lose the holiday weight, and have lost 7 lbs since January 1! Slow and steady wins the race.

    Yes, but there is a wide range for Obese. How many pounds do you want to lose?

    Turn that frown upside down, you're doing great! I'm down 27 in 102 days and have 7 more to go, but have slowed down as well. I purged my closets yesterday which gave me a big positive boost. Trying on clothes and finding out I entirely skipped one size I had stashed away was inspiring.

    I maxed out at around 1lb/week in January. In March I only lost around .5lb/week. I am also obese. I would prefer to be losing 1.5 lbs/week until I reach the border of obese and overweight, but I continue to eat too much on a consistent enough basis that I am not meeting my goals. However, even 2 lbs in a month is still moving forward for me so I take it and try to continue to improve.

    I think about a pound a week now. Thank you Pasta Zero.

    I lost 7lbs last month. And 2lbs last week. So i'm averaging 2lbs as of now. Which is a little higher than the 1% that is recommended.

    I'm 5'3 and 136 pounds.

    I recalculated and is actually 1.9 per week. Was 3 pound when I first started. Only on my 3rd week.

    @n1cholee93 Considering you are healthy weight already that is too fast...meaning you are losing muscle tissue as well which you really really don't want to do.

    I've been on my journey for almost 35 weeks and I've lost 70 lbs. my goal is to lose 10 more. When I first began the weight came off faster but now I'm ok with maintaining week to week. I've found that feeling healthy is better than the number on the scale anyway.

    Just over 1 lb per week (9 lbs over 8 weeks)

    Wish it would go faster, but I know that patience is needed!

    I'm losing 3-4 a week. But I am obese and only in my 3rd week of restarting, so I expect it to taper off a bit moving into the second month.
