Weight Loss Expectations

     Depending on your starting weight and how overweight you are, here's what a typical weight loss program produces in terms of weight reduction:

The First 2-3 Weeks
Rapid weight loss of between 7-12 pounds

The Next 2 Weeks
Weight loss of 2-4 pounds a week

- The Next Month
Weight loss of 1-2 pounds a week

     From then on, the weight loss should stay at a steady pace of 1-2 pounds a week until the ideal weight is reached. Weight loss, after the initial rapid phase, will only be 4 pounds a week. The good news is, even if you continued to lose weight at 'only' 1 pound a week, in 3 months you would have lost a further 14 pounds.
