Hi Lesley,

Always good to talk to someone from the antipodes!

I may be wrong, but I get the impression, in browsing around this forum, that most people's rate of weight loss slows down towards goal weight. This is conjectural, but I would think you might be able to get a fairly consistent average for the first two thirds of the journey, then a far slower rate with occasional backsliding for the last third.

Hopefully you will get some more replies to test this notion. If you wanted to conduct a survey, Wa'il (tamarian) would be the person to contact.

Good luck!

Andy
