They say no more 2lbs a week, you also have to take into consideration when working out in the gym as muscle weighs more than fat, so you could be toning up and not really loosing any weight, everyone is also different and it goes by your matablism, if it is fast or slow, by the sounds of it you could have a slow matablism.

It really depends on where you're starting from, but it's generally OK to lose two to three pounds a week. Any more than that and you're going to put it back on as soon as you eat normally. Do you do a slimming club? They are a good way of getting all your questions answered.

I've read in many places that aiming around 1% body weight is a safe sustainable weightloss. I'm around 211lbs so a safe loss for me would probably around 2-2.5lbs a week

No more than 2lb, I'm in trouble then as my wight goes up and down by as much a 6lb a week dependant on what I've been up to.
