Rate of weight loss varies on a variety of things actually! Everyone’s hormonal function, metabolic function, and body chemistry are so unique (which is special) but it will be the culprit for a variety of outcomes regarding weight loss. 1-2 pounds is great. We have others losing 1/2 pound per day on the 1st phase due to their amount of weight lost. Those who need to lose more weight will typically see larger amounts coming off at once (at the beginning). Those who only need 10-20 will be a little slower rate. Those last pounds are always stingy! 8 pounds is nothing out of the ordinary, and a lot of it could be due to water weight fluctuation too!

Keep at it, and remember the number on the scale is only a number. It is not the end all be all to your weight loss success. Getting healthier overall is the goal!

-Hope this helps
