Average weight loss

Hi, I'm wondering what everyone's average weight loss is per week. I started on 30 mg on 11/23 at 170 pounds and i'm now at 149 on 1/31/06. I've averaged about 2 pounds per week. Just wondering if that sounds normal. It feels slow to me.

From what I have read a normal healthy weight loss is about 1-2 pounds per week so you're in the normal range.

I lost 1.5 pounds for 2 weeks then this last week lost 2.1 pounds so I'm within that also. I think those with a lot to lose will lose more per week at first.

Congrats on the weight loss! That's great!

I just read what Holly put earlier today. One-two pounds a week is normal and healthy. I lost 6 the first week (water, I'm sure) and I'll be happy as long as I see two this week.

Sounds to me like you are doing fabulous.
