In a 9 week period (4/2018-6/2018) I went from 210-179 (31 lbs total - 3.4 lbs per week) so it *is* possible. However, more importantly is to 'feel comfortable' with YOUR plan :) I had a 6 year history of failure that needed -drastic measures- If that isn't you, you're right to 'dial it back a bit' :) The speed I lost the weight did not make a difference, because maintaining my weight is based on what I do today not what I did in the past. Good luck!

body changes make a huge difference too and working out and losing weight is a win win.

I have been losing about a pound a week - so I think you are doing great! Since that is working for you I suggest that you keep doing it - something about don't mess with success

It's possible but I thought that your maintenance calories were really low now, Adef? Not sure if it's worth it. Patience. You can average 2-3 per week at first but it will slow and if it doesn't you may be suppressing your long-term metabolism.

No rush - it's not like you're ever going to be 'done'. This is a lifestyle. Do what you can and will do forever.

Since joining this community I’m averaging 1.54lbs/week. Healthy weight loss is 1-2lbs/week. I’d love to shed more, but this is a marathon not a sprint, at least for me. Being able to be consistent and steady is important. Started this journey just shy of 2 months ago, before I discovered this app. Since starting I am averaging 2.035lbs/week. At that rate I’ll hit my goal, but I prefer to use the information on here.

@vsublzr - Totally understand! Fully supporting your plan!

Not really trying to loose these days but I believe if I continue at 1-1.5 per week I’ll get there. Slow and not so steady has been more my history. Doc asked me “ can you maintain this Way of eating?” You might ask yourself that and settle in at your own pace. You’re doing fine!😜😇 Good shedding!
