    1 lb a week is a good, safe rate.
    If you don't like your progress, do more heavy weight training with compound lifts.
    You will build more muscle which may help you burn more fat.

    You are 330 299 pounds (putting that up there for people who aren't familiar with stones.)

    How long have you been eating 2600 calories? I do believe that you can lose at a faster rate and would suggest dropping your calories again.

    You're doing amazing! Keep at it!

    One pound a week is reasonable, sustainable weight loss.

    You lost 23 lbs in 10 weeks - that is great! You are losing weight at a healthy rate, and doing a great job at it.

    I agree with @jemhh as well. You need to have MFP recalculate your calorie goal as you lose weight, since we need less calories as we get lighter.

    Don't be disheartened. It's not a race. :smile:
