1lb a week is a healthy weight loss do you weigh and log everything you eat/drink what is your calorie goal4

4lbs sounds like a good rate of loss to me.... You are you, you are not your friends..
Depending on how much you have to lose, you could potentially lose at a faster rate. Fast doesn't necessarily mean better though.6 -
Yes i log it ok im hoping if i keep going i will loose within 2 months.1

How fast you can lose, depends on how much you have to lose, how carefully you have set your calorie target, and how faithfully you are sticking to it. Exercise isn't that important for weightloss, and clean eating can mean so many things that it practically means nothing, it just adds confusion and guilt to the simple, innocent and delightful act of eating.5

Slow and steady wins the race, you do you and forget about everyone else!5

If you want to lose faster you can create a larger deficit. It should never be a mystery why you lost X amount of weight. It's math.
To lose 1 lb per week you have to create a deficit of 3,500 calories per week.. that's just 500 calories less than maintenance per day. If your maintenance calories are 2,000, that means you've been eating a net 1,500 calories per day. Use the MFP goals, log your calories, log your exercise, and it won't be a mystery.3 -
Im now 62.7kg i want to get to 55.2kg i have finally lost 1 pound within just over two weeks as i stayed at 63 for about 1 month and 2 weeks just seem to be taking so long, and i seem to loose motivation im hoping by summer il be bafk to normal what does people think i can be back to 55.2 by summer? Im still doing treadmill and eating clean x0
-
I don't think you can realistically weigh 55.2 by summer this year. Because your rate of loss will only decrease as you lose weight. What does normal mean? How old were you last time you effortlessly maintained that weight? Exercise and eating clean still won't make much difference.2

Normal back to what i was 55.2 last july i was 55 2kg and i gained thid weight end of august last year suddenly i put on stone anf a half? Why wont excercise and eating clean wont make a difference how else are u supposed to loosr weight?2

1lb a week is good going, well done. Forget about what others are doing, you do you. Keep going0

Im 23 and i did eat a bit of rubbish last year0

Ok, that means you'll probably be able to go back to that weight, but not in a couple of months. The easiest is to just limit the amount of "rubbish", which you will have to do for the rest of your life anyway, if you want to stay that weight - that's why we're harping on patience.3
-
So when u say not couple of months you mean more like a year0
-
You gained 21lbs so realistically it will be 1lb a week and even 0.5lb a week when it gets to the last few pounds so it will take the best part of 6 months to lose but the good news is that is a relatively short period of time in the grand scheme of things.2

Okay thanks1
-
I agree to the above - half a year sounds realistic.2
-
Ok thankyou0

It can help to make your diary public if you want advice with what you are eating and if you are logging your exercise. Are you eating back your exercise-earned calories?0
-
So i have made my diary public yes can u see what i have had? If you look on yesterday and today0
