hugs to you too!
Hmm... Tama, I think 4.9 lbs per week is a bit too much to expect!! Some folks do lose 5 or more lbs in the first week or so of Induction, but then things slow down to a steady, but slower rate of loss.
Wa'il has suggested the best guide is 1% of your weight per week. This means that as you lose weight, your loss will be less from week to week. For example, if you are 170 lbs, then it's reasonable to expect to lose 1.7 lbs a week with lowcarbing. However, when you reach 150 lbs, that will slow to 1.5 lbs a week, and so on....
I'm glad you've broken that 2 yrs. plateau! But no more talk of growing old, you're still a young thing, just like me ..
Have you taken your measurements with a measuring tape?? That's another good guide too, since the scales might not show a loss of lbs, but you will have loss of inches (or centimeters).
You'll do fine!!
