Hi all, now I know weight loss isn't linear and we go some weeks without losing anything but I just a wanted to see what the average was on here for what people are losing a week? I lost loads in the first few weeks but then nothing for a while (celebrations,holidays, TOM) and have now settled at about 1lb a week. What are your (realistic) hopes at the end of the week on weigh in day?

    After a rough patch of a month or so - I'm back on track averaging just over 3 pounds a week now. 14.5 pounds lost in 4 weeks.

    Earlier on in the year I had 3 months of solid progress - averaged 1.8 pounds a week then.

    *edited to include more info

    I average between 1-2 pounds a week. In the beginning it was more like 5-7lbs a week.

    At this point, I can realistically expect to lose about 3/4 lb a week.

    Down 75 lb in about 31 weeks is 2.42 lb/week although that rate of loss has been declining for several weeks. August was 31 days and 8 pounds lost, so each week was less than 2.

    I lose about 1 pound every two weeks. This does not necessarily translate to 0.5 pound per week.

    I've lost 2lb every week and maybe a few more the first couple of weeks.

    Overall my weight loss rate was 1.32 pounds per week. It started out about 2 per week and ended up at about .5 or less per week. Definitely not linear.

    I've heard 1 percent of body weight is most you should go for .. closer to goal the harder it is to loose so you loose less ..

    I lose around 10lbs one week out of the month, immediately after my period, and then I stall for the next 3 weeks. It's a nice rate of loss, and I'm not complaining, but the stalls get frustrating.

    Wow I can imagine how distracting that must be for the 3 weeks! But that week after TOM must feel amazing

    With 18 pounds left to go, I'm at about a pound every 2 weeks or so. I also am "shrinking" in size quite steadily.

    I am relieved to hear this ^. I have 15 lbs to go - and I also am losing at a rate of about a pound every two weeks more or less. Sometimes it feels so frustrating, a snails pace....but I can see light at the end of the tunnel, and the continued exercise is toning my body so at least I "feel" as if I'm making progress. And clothes seem looser every day...

    I'm similar, though not ten pounds - more like six or eight.

    Averaging 5lbs a week over the last 4 weeks, but that's the getting back at it pace. It'll taper off at 1-3lbs eventually.
