To first order in the spin, the motion of the reduced-mass particle excluding radiation effects, is characterized by three constants: the energy E, the magnitude L of the angular momentum and the projection L_S of the angular momentum along the spin S. This motion is quasiperiodic with a period determined by r_{min} and r_{max}. We introduce a new parametrization, making the integration over a period of a generic orbit especially simple. We give the averaged losses in terms of the 'constants of motion' during one period for generic orbits, to linear order in spin.3 pages, to appear in the Proceedings of the 8th Marcel Grossmann MeetingGeneral Relativity and Quantum Cosmologytext
