i joined 15 days ago and i just wanted to ask what is the average pounds lost in a week by everyone? i am thinking it comes off in the first few weeks at a pretty good pace then dies down some...but when does that happen?? just looking for some feed back please! thanks everyone

1-2 pounds per week is the healthiest amount.

I tend to lose 1-2lbs a week. Thats the healthiest.

Generally 1- 2 pounds per week is safe. At first it is not unusual to lose 4 or more in the first 2 - 3 weeks, but after that it slows down if you are doing it correctly. You will reach a plateau and will need to make some changes - either in diet or exercise - to recharge yourself and keep losing. Be slow about it and it will stay off once it comes off!

A lot of that depends on how much weight the person has to lose. For me, I want to lose 42 lbs. After the initial "water" weight loss, I've been losing on average 1-2 lbs per week.

I agree!!

I lost 10 lbs. in the first 2 weeks...then I have been losing 1 - 2 lbs. per week since....

I think it is different for everyone. It depends on how much they weigh, exercise, and calories. I personally lost around 15lbs in the first 3 weeks and then about 1 1/2 to 2lbs a week. Then my weight stalled....no weight loss...just last week I lost 1.6lbs making my total 20.6 lost since 5/3/11. 1-2 lbs a week is healthy!

ballpark around 2.5-3 lbs per week, but that is slowing (after 2 months) to about 2 lbs per week.

Everyone will tell you 1-2 lbs per week is "healthiest" but everyone is different. If you feel good (not tired, lethargic, or feeling sickly even with exercise) and are losing, that's good

I don't think 30 lbs in 3 months is unreasonable. It'll be hard work though. Just do your best
