    It generally depends on how much you have to lose. If you need to lose 100 pounds, it will come off a lot faster than if you're only 10 pounds from your ideal healthy weight. Also, you tend to lose more the first week than later. I lost 7 pounds my first week, but I need to lose 94, so that's just a drop in the bucket.

    I was always about 1-200 calories under my goal and I lost around 3-4 lbs per week. Not really sure how healthy that was but I felt great =)

    My goal is set to lose 1 pound a week, but I lose 2 - 2.5 pounds weekly. I feel good, and I am eating about 1700 calories a day. i just figure that I must be more active than I think, or I am blessed with a high metabolism. I need to lose 25 more pounds to be at healthy weight.
