    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?
