The average person witll lose 2 pounds of fat per week, though many people lose much more. Depends on many factors, including age, activity level, number of days per week exercising, etc.

Q.	What type of goals should I set?
I could write a 10 page column on this subject, because hardly anyone does this right. That's why so many people have blown their New Years resolutions by the 3rd week of January.
