Average weight loss is about a pound a week.


Where does that number come from? If you are very obsese then maybe for some people, but if you are overweight or even normal weight wanting to loose some weight then I find loosing a pound week very hard to believe. In my best weight loss streak, I lost .5 a week for 7 weeks which I thought was great.

I think is dangerous to see up expectations like that for all the people that don't loose weight that fast.

If you can average a 1 pound a month loss, that is 12 pounds a year. Stay on this WOL and that is 120 pounds a decade. That sounds alot better than then gaining 30 pounds a decade like I did I found LCing.

I believe you should be happy that your weight is not going up, and is has a general downward trend. A definite improvement over how you gained the weight.
