    I just started (sw 190 - gw 150) and lost 4 pounds in 2 weeks. After November I'm going to set my diary to lose 1 pound a week. Once I get to 160 I'm going to set my diary to lose .5 pounds a week.

    Maybe 1/2 a pound at most. I'm close to my goal weight so it's slow going, but it doesn't bother me as I know that with time and dedication I will get there.

    I lose anywhere from 1- 1.5 lbs per week when I've been sticking to my allotted calories.

    Any loss should be celebrated but I know it's always exciting to lose more than 1lb! I've currently been on this journey (again) for 6 weeks. I initially started off doing Weight Watchers (again) and my first week I lost 4.2, and then the next 2 weeks were -3.6, -3.0, then the 4th week I didn't lose anything. That was my last weigh in there cus my monthly subscription ran out and due to personal reasons I decided not to go back. I then started tracking on here, and lost 3.4lbs. I'm down 14.2, but I am morbidly obese. I think it's pretty normal for people my size to lose so much. I know it's going to slow down, but as long as I don't gain I will be happy!

    Hi! This time around in me weight loss journey I’m losing weight sloooooowly but surely. I currently work out 3 times a week and losing about 1 pound per week.

    I’m just curious, how many do you lose a week? I know things slow down as we get older so I definitely feel it now 😬 Do inches matter more? I guess I just wanna lose more than 1lb a week...

    1 lb a week is normal.

    I'm fortunate enough to maintain 1% bodyweight loss per week for quite some time. I've lost 115 lbs since the beginning of the year and completely content with this rate!

    Slower rates of loss are completely fine - don't let it discourage you.

    Jan 1, 2014 to April 30, 2014 (PRE MFP): 280+ to 280lbs unknown loss/loss rate/restriction "going for a walk every day"
    May 1, 2014 to Nov 20, 2014 (PRE MFP): 280 to 240lbs 1.35 lbs a week (unknown caloric restriction)
    Nov 21, 2014 to Nov 20, 2015 (MFP): 240 to 168lbs 1.394 lbs a week (695Cal-a-day=21.35% TDEE)
    Nov 21, 2015 to Nov 20, 2016 (MFP): 168 to 157lbs 0.2134 lbs a week (106Cal-a-day=3.51% TDEE)
    I am currently around 154 +/- 2

    The first 1.35lbs a week involved a higher restriction, working very hard, and ultimately achieving a lower average loss than the subsequent 1.394lbs a week which involved more education, less hard work, and a high, but ultimately more consistent, manage-able, and did I mention educational deficit.
