Weight Loss Forum / Low Carb / January 2004lost 33 pounds in 4 mts
Hello I am 36 Yrs Old - 5'10" - originally 240 pounds. Start Atkins for 3 weeks and later do on my own low carb diet. Now my reading is at 205 pounds in around 125 days with good source of exercise as well. Now my question is is this pace too much like 8 ibs/month ? My target is 170 pounds in another 3 mts. Thiyal > Hello > [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > > Thiyal The rest of the weight will be alot slower. Depending on caloric intake and exrecise output of course. The first pounds lost were water. Don't get discouraged. Your weight loss will be slower, generally around 1-2 pounds per month, which is safer. Myway I've kept losing at the same rate, even though I'm getting close to my goal..If anything, I think I've sped up as I've gone..

The OP is already losing 2 pounds a week. 2 pounds a week is just fine when you have a lot to lose, but I imagine when you get down to the last 10 pounds or so, losing 2 pounds a week would be pretty difficult.

I think I remember reading that 1 - 2 pounds a week is healthy weight loss. Don't expect the pace to continue indefinitely though, the closer you get to goal, the slower the loss will probably be, plus most people experience stalls and wooshes sometimes. Signature-Michelle Levin (Luna) http://www.mindspring.com/~lunachick http://www.mindspring.com/~designbyluna It all depends on how much fat you have compared to muscle. If you're mostly fat you can keep losing quickly for a while. SignatureJC Eat less, exercise more. -- > Hello > [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > > Thiyal |
