  I think if you stuck to it hard core you (no slip ups) you could drop 2 pounds a week.  I would aim more for 1 pound a week though.  The first couple of weeks the pounds fly off.  Then it is more slow and steady wins the race.  Pre-baby and in my 20s I lost about 65 pounds in about 7 months.  I was psycho about it though.

  A healthly weekly loss for your body is 2 pounds a week.

  If you are curious, you can sign up for www.sparkpeople.com and it'll tell you what you can lose by what date. I track my daily eating on there and have lost weight successfully once pre-pg. and i'm doing it now again and so far so good! (I lost 2 pounds last week!)

  We just got the Wii Fit and my goal is 1.8 lbs every two weeks, which I think is realistic. 

  That means in six months, I'll be 22 lbs lighter! (yeah, right.

  It will also depend on if you are really overweight and have alot to lose or if you just would like to drop a few pounds.  The heavier you are, the easier it will be to drop pounds fast the first couple of weeks.  However if you just need to lose a few pounds, I would look at maybe 1lbs a week at first and then it slowing down some after a couple of weeks.

  One or two pounds per week is the average, I think.  But I could be wrong.  That said, I started Weight Watchers on April 24, 2008 and I'd lost 42 lbs by October 24, 2008.  Most weeks I lost 1-2 lbs and there were a couple of weeks when I lost 3-4, but that's odd, I think.
