You're doing great!: 1-3 pounds per week is generally a healthy rate of weight loss. Eat right (minimize fats; supplement fibers), exercise, and you should be fine. Roughly for every 3000 calories you lose, you drop a pound (that's 400 calories a day). Shoot for a reasonable weight goal in a reasonable time period--but consult your doctor if weight loss is involuntary or can't be explained.
