Well your 10% is 22 pounds. No offense meant to the previous poster that said three weeks, but there's not much chance that you'll lose 22 pounds in three weeks. If your 10% was 12 pounds or something, that would be more feasible.
I started WW 3 weeks ago and lost 5 pounds the first week, 2 the second week and 1.6 the third week. Based on that, I'm expecting to lose 1-1.5 pounds a week (on average) for a while going forward and expect that will slow some as I get lighter. I'm exercising about 2.5-3 hrs a week at a moderate level (which, even though I wear a HR monitor, some days feels like I'm running a marathon for a speed record).
So I'd estimate that my 10% (26 pounds) will take another 11-14 weeks, so about 3-4 months in total.
You definitely can't expect to lose faster than 2 pounds a week on average unless you're working out a LOT. Personally, I'm just returning to a workout program and that would be unreasonable for me to attempt at this point.
