I lost 7lbs the first week which of course would be something like half water. Then I lost about 4lbs a week for the next about 4-6 weeks. Then it dropped to about 2lbs a week and now it's about 1lb or less a week. It's pretty slow loss now...more like a premaintenance. I could likely speed it up if I would limit the variety I'm now eating but I don't feel any risk of going of the WOE and as long as I'm losing it's all good!
