text: how much weight should a woman lose per week?   there isn't really a good answer to this. it really depends if you are getting the proper nutrition and the proper protein. it also depends if you are really over weight or if you need to lose 10 pounds. a person that is over 100 pounds over weight could lose 5 pounds or more a week.  compared to a person needing to lose 10 pounds could lose 1 to 2 pounds a week.  serious inquries check out this link.
