I disagree with this mentality 100% I have asked a bunch of people what their average weight lose was! It has no bearings on them being a 7 stone athlete or a 50 stone lazy ass.
If 50 people tell me that they lost 7lb in the first week and 50 people tell me they lost 3.5lb in the first week then the law of averages tells me if i lose anywhere between them values then I MAY be doing it right.
Turns out, if i carry on like this till tuesday (weigh in day) then ill be in the AVERAGE weight lose values
Ooh, touchy!
Its also all very well saying the law of averages yadda yadda, but theres no reason to expect you correspond to whatever that 'average' is.
As a 27 stone 8lb 'lard ass' when I started, I lost half a pound in my first week btw.
