After the first month how much is average for someone to lose each week? I'm in my 4th week and lost 3 pounds this week but prior weeks the loss was so much more, except for last week I think I only lost a pound (the stall at 3 weeks perhaps?). Just trying to figure out what is an average weekly loss from this point forward?

Btw, do you write down your weekly losses or do you only keep track of your total monthly losses?

I guess there is no 'average', there is just you.

I track weight by week, but there are stalls and stairsteps, and even gains.

Just follow your program as strictly as you can and it'll wotk out!!!

My doc said figure 10 pounds a month average. 3 a week is GREAT! Many people have the "three week stall" starting around the first 3 weeks, and you can have no weight loss for weeks... this is normal! Try not to compare yourself with others, your body will do what it needs to do in its own sweet time... just follow the rules, Water, move, Protein first and go through the stages.... you will be fine. If it makes you feel bad weighting more often, weigh every month or two weeks. I made a deal with myself that I would not let the numbers push me around emotionally if I weigh every day, and thats what I have always done.

Make sure you measure yourself as well because it is completely possible for you to lose inches and not weight (I've had this happen several times).

I have a ton of stalls...I was at 187 for a month...now 184 for a few weeks BUT I went from a size 16/18 pants to a 12 that are starting to get loose..the upper part of my body hasn't changed much..Everyone is so different...

I am 12 weeks out. Hw 250 Cw 197. ... actually 12 weeks plus 10 days pre op. I was averaging 4.6lbs per week. Then 3.5 now it is slowing and I'll be thrilled with 2 lbs per week. I use mfp and log my weight under food notes so I can see what I weighed on any given day.
