182-206 pounds

The National Institute of Health advises steady weight-loss goals.The most successful programs include 14 sessions or more of behavioral treatment over 6 months. Though weight may be lost faster at the start of the program, the healthy weight loss is about 1 to 2 pounds per week. That means that in 6 months, the weight lost can range from 24-48 pounds.
