is 3-5 lbs a week ok?
Reply from Rachael, Age 14 - 12/14/04 - IP#: 207.231.98.xxx Believe it or not, it is recomended that you lose no more than 1-2 pounds per week for healthy weight loss. If you lose more than that each week, it could be muscle(eek!) or water weight. Of course, during the first couple weeks of losing weight, you may lose more since your body is experiencing total change in it's routine and everything. But after that, 1-2 pounds is better.
