Is it realistic to lose 1.5 lbs/week?

October 22, 2008, 06:50 AM

I am starting ym 2nd week of induction. My stats are below. We are planning on vacationing in mid Feb and I would love to be by 125 lbs by that time.

Is losing 1.5 lbs/week feasible?
I do cardio aerobics 3x/week, and weight train 2-3x/week, in addition to staying in Induction (15-18g net carbs per day).

I would say that it is realistic to lose 1.5 lbs. a week as that's what I usually aim for. But don't be discouraged if you don't lose pounds one week. Try taking measurements too. Sometimes when I don't lose, the one thing that makes me feel good is to know that while I'm not losing pounds per se, I'm still losing inches.
