Kestrel45

Well I lost 9 pounds so far and it took me about 5 weeks

arlenem1974

about 5 weeks. In 1 month I lost 8.4 lbs and by month 2 I lost 17.

I weighed 225lbs at 5'4 so simply by eating like half the ice cream at night or a few less pizza rolls I lost like 10lbs in like two weeks. It eventually got harder and I had to make real changes. Took me five years to get down to 155. That is because I stalled and slowly made changes, it wasn't a constant thing.

Took me a month!!!! I'm watching my carb intake (70-100 a day) and just started exercising two weeks ago.

Took me about 2 weeks. I do Zumba on the wii for at least 30 min a day, walk in the morning and eat healthy. I only drink water also.

6 days. But of course it slowed after that.

govinda70

10,8 lbs in about 3 month... but I go cycling or running at least 4-5 times a week.

6 days. But of course it slowed after that.

you lost 10 Pounds in 6 days??? this is impossible. 1 Pound of fat got approx. 4500 calories. so you burned 7500 calories a day with Sport or not eating????? LOL

DeannaNL

1 month in and 13 pounds down!!

luulu1999

I have been using MFP for 3 weeks and have went down 8lbs so far....I really hope I keep losing at that pace because I don't want to hit a plateau for a while

I usually can do 10lbs in 6 weeks--if I stick to it. That's my problem.

I lost 4 this week; but I know most of that is water weight. I'd like to lose 2 lbs a week? I have a lot to lose, so I know I'lose more in the beginning.

I have a mini goal of losing 20 lbs. by August 19. My son starts high school that day and I go back to work.

This is incorrect, for one a lb of gay is approx 3500 calories for another it's not impossible although most was probably water weight. I watched my scale drop the lb overnight once seemingly impossible but NOT.

Typos, a lb of FAT

How do you burn that may calories at work? What do you do that is just crazy high.

And I started at 285 and I lost my first 10 pounds in 2 weeks. Next 10 a month after that so about a month and a half. Next 10 at about 4 months. And currently I am at 251 and I am 5 months in.

But really don't base where you should be on where everyone on here is. Stay strong, you got this!

Exactly, everyone losses at different rates, just do your best and the lbs WILL come off.
