Deborah, I've gotta be straight with you here...asking this question is just as bad (or worse) than jumping on the scale everyday.

You are an individual person...you're not the same as the people you are asking this question of. Everybody is going to lose weight at a different pace, depending on their sex, age, metabolism, beginning weight, etc.

Please stop torturing yourself over this. Yes, definitely talk to your doctor about your personal rate of loss, but please don't compare yourself to other people who are NOT in your shoes.
