I am counting calories, and have been averaging about 1/2 lb a week, but for whatever reason, going thru a dreaded PLAT-TOE (heh) right now. Haven't lost any weight in the past 3 weeks.
But I shall not freak out! - I'm gonna keep doing what I'm doing, and maybe step it up a bit with the exercise.
I eat 1200-1300 calories per day, do an hour of yoga 4x a week, and do 40 minutes on the elliptical about 5x a week. I'm averaging around 2-3 pounds...
...but, like some of the other posters, my weight loss is totally erratic. Regardless of how well I stay on plan, some weeks I lose 7 pounds and other weeks I gain 2 (I have NO idea how that works).
I've been on plan for 7 weeks and have lost a little over 7lbs, so just about 1 pound per week. I work out 5 days a week, for between 30mins-1.5hr depending on how much time I have. My calorie limit during the week is 1500, although most days I eat around 1350. On the weekends, especially Sunday, I go off plan and eat about 1800 cal/day.
I've slipped with my eating, but haven't with my exercise at ALL.
I count calories, and averaged out since the beginning of February I lose a little over 0.5 lbs per week. Granted, some weeks I lose 3 pounds, some none, and the average rate was higher near the beginning, closer to a pound per week.
1lb a week overall, which I believe is a reasonably fast rate, and certainly good for my size. From what I hear, 1-2lb a month is usual, based on WW meetings and the like. Either that's not quite right, or people are more likely to chime in on this thread if they're losing faster?
I'm calorie counting, and I'm on a vegan wholefoods diet. Due to disability, I'm not exercising, barring the odd minute (literally) on the exercise bike. You can see my weight loss graph in the link in my signature, along with my measurements, calories and so forth.
I'm losing roughly 2lbs a week although I have a woosh once a month where I've lost 3-4. I haven't been counting calories but I've been making healthier choices and watching portion size. I lift weights w/ light cardio three times a week and then do more cardio two to three times a week. I've been working with a trainer once a week and it has helped a lot. He pushes me to do more than I would be doing if I was working out on my own.
I'm losing an average of 3.5 a week... what's weird about that is I had the large initial drops, then it slowed down to closer to two. The last few weeks I've been dropping 3-4 lbs a week (since about 5 weeks into the diet). I'm not following any plan except counting calories (12-1400 a day) and working out, though number of times a week I'm working out has been erratic lately. It seems I *have to* get it done first thing or too many variables in the day with the kids and work derail my efforts.
