How many pounds do you lose weekly?

I normally lose one pound a week but this week lost three and I feel awful. Tired sweaty and dry mouth.

Well this week I lost three and feel like crap. When I was losing one pound I felt amazing.

No idea. I haven't been logging long enough to know yet.

I know some weeks have no change and others have big change. It seems to come in spurts.

Between 1 and 2 usually

I've averaged something like 1.6 pounds a week over the past six months. I average 1800 calories a day.

.5 - 1 pound a week eating 1200 cals; but I'm short and sedentary.

I'm lucky if I can lose .5lb/week, even eating 1500 net or less. Wish I was more like you 1-3lb people.

Yeah, but how much do you have to lose?

I am trying not to weigh myself every week, I was freaking out about the scale not going down enough. I'm trying to only weigh myself once a month, but to be very diligent about inputting food and exercise. My pants are fitting looser, so that's a good sign. I would take a pound a week loss, if it was consistent. We'll see.

2-4 the last 3 weeks, not muscle loss.
looking to lose at 1-2 a week for the next month.

1-2 lbs but this is an average. Some weeks the scale goes down more, but as long as I'm trending down, I am thrilled! Slow, steady, consistent. That is the way to success for me.

I just averaged my loss over my time here: 3.44lbs.

Jeez that seems like a lot...

My average for my first month was 4lbs, next 2 months was about 3lbs, but I have a LOT to lose!
It's beginning to slow to 2-3 now, so I think I'll be averaging 2 lbs a week soon - which is what I wanted after an initial faster loss.

I'm lucky if I can lose .5lb/week, even eating 1500 net or less. Wish I was more like you 1-3lb people.

from what I understand if you lose more then 2 pounds it's dangerous? not sure if this is true.

it's not necessarily dangerous - but it's not the best for optimal health for everyone

the more fat you have, the faster you can lose without suffering from ill effects. The main things you want to avoid are loss of lean body mass and getting into a binge eating/excessive restriction cycle.

If someone has lots of weight to lose, like getting on for 100lb, they can usually lose 2-3lb a week without those problems.

with less to lose, then it's more like 1-2lb a week

if you're trying to lose the last few lbs, the risk of problems such as the above is that much greater, and it's better to go really slowly, e.g. aiming for 0.5lb/week.

That's optimal, but nothing wrong with going slower than the above, if it makes the diet easier to stick to, so long as you really are losing at a steady rate and are not totally stalled out.

Bear in mind that the human body burns fat slowly, so losing more than the above is a sign that what you're losing isn't pure fat. Don't look at one week in isolation, water weight gains and losses can mask fat loss on the scale, so a drop of 3lb in one week may be because you were retaining water the previous week... so look at the trend over time. If the average weekly loss is the same as the above that's optimal. If it's less than the above but still steady, and you're happy with your diet, keep going. If it's more than the above, then it's possible you're losing lean mass as well.
