That is a pretty safe statement for the majority of people. For those that are excessively overweight, a little more a week may be possible until they diet down. -------------- Days go by and life drags on.....

So i'm losing about 10-12 lbs a week and i don't feel sick or anything but i don't want to continue to do this is it's gonna kill me, so i was just wondering about all this.
