after 10 weeks, it is around 2.6lb a week. I really hope to be able to keep it to 2lb a week from now on... it is getting tougher the less you have to lose..

as Arie said, weight loss slows as you have less and less to lose. Atkins says something akin to allowing yourself a month or so to lose the last five pounds.

currently though, after being on atkins for a month, im losing about one to two pounds a week.

I have about 10 pounds to lose, will reevaluate goal at that time, and I lose about 1 pound a week. I eat 30-35 carbs a day. I guess if I cut down to 20-25 I would lose a little faster, but, with my current carb level, I don't really feel like I am dieting.

I've lost 35 pounds since 2/3 but the last month, my weight has slowed down to nothing (not really it just feels that way). I'm probably loosing only 2-3 pounds a month. But I only have ten pounds left to reach my goal. Its frustrating but I'm hanging in there.

Now, less than 1/3 pound a week. I have lost about 3 lbs in last 2.5 months now that I am heading towards goal. BUT I did manage to lose a few inches. I am not so concerened about the scale these days since I am building muscle and toning. But as my stats will show...I lost over 44 lbs in 15 months so that averages about 2.9 lbs a month or .73 per week.

When you take total lbs divided by total wks = 2lbs/wk.

If you subtract my 5 week stall = 3lbs/wk.

On average, I've lost 0.8 pounds per week. But I'm in that "not much to lose" category and it doesn't come off as quickly as some others. But the way I look at it....losing is a whole lot better than gaining, no matter how fast or slow it comes off!

My average loss per week is 1.25 lbs per week. I don't lose every week though.

Peace
