I usually lose 1-2 pounds maybe 3 if lucky~ only when I first started did I lose 5 pounds and than this week weigh in I lost 5 but think was cause i was watching sodium~

Losing too quickly can back fire if you're not careful...When I first started my weightloss journey...*I lost like 7lbs in one week...Then gained it all back...So, now that my weight is coming off slowly I'm very satisfied that it's going to stay off...Good Luck on your weightloss journey!

i dont think 3 lbs would hurt you. just stick with what you are doing. your doing great.

How much is too much to lose in a week?* Is 3 pounds too much to ask to lose a week?

1-2 lbs a week is recommended.* More than that and you may have trouble keeping it off.* Plus, it's not healthy to lose more than that.* I know they do it on Biggest Loser, but they also have trainers and a medical staff working with them.

No. Especially if you've got a fair amount to lose & you're just starting out.

When I first started and got serious I lost 11 lbs in 2 weeks but I was eating very healthy.

After the first couple of weeks, weight loss really slows down (1-2 lbs/week) but I will occassionally have a 3lb loss

Like Mary said, most experts agree that 1-2 pounds is healthy and better for maintaining...
Also, losing slower reduces the risk of excess skin...
I have had some three pounders, some 5 pounders, and once, when first starting, like Dan said, I had a 6 pound week...But they are rare...
Now I am usually between 1-3...And thats okay!!!!
Good luck!

Yes*I knew 1-2 pounds is what should happen.* I actually wanted to lose 3 pounds each week til Christmas then 1-2 pounds til April when I'd hit my goal.* Too much to ask huh!

Nahhh...You can ask...
*
Just dont be too hard on yourself if it DOESNT happen!
*
I ask for five pounds every week!!!! But I get 1-2...But thats okay!
