I am doing the Dukan Diet, which is low carb AND low fat. I didn't do much beside a little walking for the first 3 months, but for the past 6 weeks, I've been working out every day, it's about 30-35 minutes a day at this point, hoping to work up to more! (I started at 20 minutes a day the beginning of Sept so it's good progress already)
I'm averaging about 2.6 lbs per week, and that's with taking out the 5 lbs I lost the first week, otherwise, it's 2.75.
I think my lowest was about 1.6 and I've had a couple of 4 lbs weeks too, but usually it's somewhere right around 2.2-2.6
I'm losing an average of two pounds per week. It's certainly not that way every week. Some weeks I'll lose more and some I'll lose less but it all averages out to 2 pounds.
I lose about 2 lbs a week. I'm not on a particular diet plan. I cut out all alcohol, soda, juice, sugar, honey, and processed foods, and I avoid potatoes, rice and pasta. I try to watch my portions at meal time.
For long time I was losing about 2lbs/month. It's now a bit quicker at about 4-5lbs/month BUT almost all that weight comes off after I ovulate/before my period so it's in a fairly small window. Most of the month I don't see any loss at all.
I'm basically following my own plan that consists of little to no sugar, whole grains, low carbish, lots of fruit and veggies and lots of protein. I also make myself away of portion sizes/calories but I don't calorie count.
Sometimes I am lucky if I lose a pound a week. Usually I stay the same for 3 weeks but on the forth week my body drops 5-8lbs in a couple days. Weird, right? It would average out to 1.2 - 2lbs a week if it would come off steadily.
I am calorie counting and exercising. I also do not eat junk food unless I have preplanned a "cheat" snack/meal, I try my best to stay away from processed food and get my servings of veggies/fruit.
I'm on a pretty aggressive plan right now through my gym called the 20/20 lifestyles program and lost 86 lbs. in 20 weeks (average of 4.3 lbs. per week). It consists of working out 5 days per week (although I've been doing 6) and eating between 1200-1350 calories per day (40% protein, 35% carbs, 25% fat). My husband is on the plan too and he has lost 77 lbs. in the past 20 weeks as well.
On average for the weeks I have data, 2.5 lbs per week. If I divide total weight lost by total number of weeks I've been at this, it's 2.7 lbs per week. Weight lost in any given week has ranged from 0 to 5.9 lbs, and I once had a week with a gain.
I am a calorie counter; I eat 1200-1500 calories per day, and exercise 5 days per week.

This - except I'm not calorie counting, I'm carb counting. But still, I average between 2 and 2.5 pounds a week.
How much do you lose a week?
I'm eating 1400kcal/day and I'm only exercising about two times a week now. Need to step up my game!
