How long have you been maintaining a calorie deficit and what is your average loss per week?

I have been dieting for 23 weeks and am down 28 pounds, for an average of 1.2 pounds per week.

How about you?

    I'm lucky if it's half a pound a week. Of course, I'm nearing the end, so that's how things go. These past couples of weeks I can't seem to get it to go down at all.

    I'm at about 7 weeks and averaging a little over 3 pounds a week. I'm supposed to be losing a pound and a half, but maybe I'm more active than I gave myself credit for? I figure that if it works and I'm not starving, it's fine.

    About 16 weeks here. Averaging about 1.2 a week. But I have been all over the place. Often losing only .2s or .4s, and then will get hit with a 2lb or even a 4lb once.

    When I weighed 192 I lost 30 pounds in a little over 2 months, so about 3.5 pounds per week. A year later I was at 172 and lost 18 pounds in 2 months, so a little over 2 pounds per week. To get down from 154 to 145 took me 5 months. It took another six months to get to 127. I maintained that weight for years and decided only recentlytomake that"final push" to the body I want. 2 months of excruciatingly hard work and I'm down to a whopping 123!

    Moral of the story is the more weight you have to lose, the faster you will lose, so don't compare your rate of loss to others ( or even your former self).

    Back when I was actively trying to lose I was steadily losing at 1-2 lbs per week. I've been maintaining for months now though.

    I Lost 1 pound a week at 1250 till I lost 28. Then I changed to 1600 with increased exercise and stood still for 7 months. Brought my calories down to 1450 and got 1/4 pound a week the last three weeks. 15 to go.

    This.

    Each person is different. Slow and steady win the race.

    Good luck in your journey

    Right now, about 1lb. I'm only doing yoga (currently power, but switching to ashtanga soon) right now so I'm not expecting the greatest results. I'll be adding skipping into my workouts soon so theoretically I should be seeing a 2lb loss then.

    I've been losing for the last 4-5 months. Over the last 90 days, I've lost an average of 2 pounds a week. It does vary -- some weeks it is a little over a pound, other weeks it is almost 4. I think some of the variation is water weight.

    6 weeks 4 lbs.

    1.5lbs./week

    That's my goal and I'm reaching it.
    Slow and steady is my indicator that it's fat loss...that and my emerging cut lines :)

    Zero most weeks. I've been maintaining for a couple of years and now that I'm trying to lose another 10 it's very slow. I expect it will take at least until after the holidays. Possibly till next Spring. I'm cool with that.

    But I am going to start ChaLEAN Extreme in a couple of weeks, so maybe that last bit off sooner.

    Yeah, I'd say about 2. If l look back over the past few months it all averages out to that.

    I'm doing the old chalean, the turbo fire. Because of my knees I do it from a chair, and it is an "extreme" sweat maker. She is dynamite.

    11 weeks, 41 pounds, 3.6 pounds per week.

    But for the first couple weeks, it was about 6 or 7, and more recent weeks it's smaller. At first, my loss was about equally fat, muscle, and water. More recently, my loss is almost all fat. (My physician has an InBody machine that gives me exact figures for these.)
