"Real" average weight loss
I've been "dieting" for four months and have come down from 290 to 265. That comes out to about 1.3 lb/week. Considering that there were a couple of small setbacks maybe that's not so bad. I'm wondering other people experience in terms of average weight loss. Specifically, pounds lost divided by weeks of dieting. Its one thing to lose two pounds a week some weeks but not others, vs. sustaining that rate with no fluctuation or setbacks. My original goal was x pounds by such-and-such date based on losing 2lb/week. That just doesn't seem like a realistic way of looking at the situation. Maybe my real goal should be to stick with a healthy way of eating, and gradual weight loss is just one indicator of success. Thanks, Mike fat/still fat/not fat |
