Right, 2 lbs per week.
The "etc., etc.," includes what some have said about losing too fast: your body undergoes changes at the metabolic level where the body reacts, sacrificing itself, to survive, after which it takes fewer calories to live--so, you stop losing weight--because, the body's "set-point is reduced and a day's minimum caloric requiement goes down.
But, who knows?
