Seems impossible to drop more than a pound per week

[saidmusician]

It must vary on body type and metabolism... it just seems impossible for me to drop even a full pound per week, unless I'm on a PSMF or something. Why can some people drop the lbs. so fast, and others go less than 0.5 lbs. per week? Currently eating between 1400 and 1800 cals per day on Keto, and it's creeeeeeping along. Any all-out cheat day seems to throw me off for that week too, so I have to keep refeeds more controlled and strategic.

If that's a current picture, you don't see many people near your BF% dropping 2 pounds a week. Every pound of fat is a little bit harder to lose than the one before it, I'm told much more so around 10%bf.

Yeah, I definitely see what you're saying... I think when I was a lot heavier, the fat probably came off much quicker... although I didn't track it as intensely then.

I'm happy with 1 lb a week.

Dude, at your size I wouldn't expect more than a pound per week. Do the math on your deficits/maintenance and you'll probably see that's what's expected....

I'm at about a half pound / week... I'd be happy with 1 pound!

Don't worry man, If that's your current BF% in your avatar than your doing fine. Its looks like your in the 10-12% range and when your there you definitely don't lose 2 lbs a week. In my own personal experience, once I get down around 12/13% the fat loss REALLY starts to slow down. Just be patient and consistent with your diet and training and you will get where you want to be.

As long as your weight and measurements keep dropping I wouldn't worry about it. Keep up the good work man.

Thanks guys... I appreciate the words of encouragement.

gl op! And I agree about losing less the less u have to lose! lol :P You'll get there eventually, bro!

[Bramble]

you already have low bodyfat its going to be hard to drop any more then 1lb a week without starving your self. i can guarantee though if you were 20% bf + you could easily drop more then a 1lb a week

[BamaBruce]

also, when I started my cut around 20% bf, I easily lost 2 lb per week, now I'm losing just a little bit less, maybe 1-1.5 but sometimes II think I still lose 2
