I started LC with Atkins in mid-March. 8 months later, I've lost 53 lbs. I have my goal weight set for Sept 30, 2004 - over a year from now. According to FitDay, this will require a loss of approximately one pound per week. I thought that was fairly reasonable - much moreso than expecting to lose 98 lbs by Sept 30, 2003, for example.

So, how do we know if our goals are actually realistic? Is one lb/week too high an expectation? I don't plan on going off of this wol, even if my goals are not met when I expect them to be, but I'd like to know what is possible.
