For total bodyweight reduction, he gives the figure of 2-4 pounds per month. I think if you're in it for the long-haul you should set your expectations accordingly.
Interesting, Jill, do you know if this applies to both men and women?

On Krista mistressing the chin-up, "It's amazing", said one gym source, "considering that for months she just hung there like a dead fish."
