    16 pounds eating around 1650 calories a day. My 4 week losses for the past 5 months are 16, 6, 8, 3, 3. After that first month I increased my calorie intake for a more sustainable loss, and did so again after the third month. This month looks like it will be around 4 pounds. My biggest weekly loss was my third, which was 6 pounds. I have about 15 pounds to go, and then I'm hitting the weights. I would have done so sooner, but I've been taking this winter to allow an arm injury to heal.

    155 was my starting weight, I lost 7 pounds in the first month due to cutting carbs, so most was probably water weight. Now at 142-244 (fluctuations), I am losing about 0.25-0.5 per month. I am not particularly great at weighing my food. When I do, I will lose at 0.25-0.5 per week now.

    Lost 7 pounds before coming here in six weeks of November/December, and about 4.5 pounds last month using MFP. I like it here. I think I'll stay!

    I lost 9 pounds in my first 31 days. First week I lost a lot, and then averaged 1 pound a week the next three weeks. If I continue at 1 pound a week I'll be very happy.

    Before MFP, I lost about 4-5lbs first month. Started MFP and working out, lost nothing for 6 weeks then whoooosh. But I lost about 10 inches all over in those 6 weeks. The scales are a crude measure really.

    9.4 lbs for me. Started tracking faithfully on January 4, weighing 199.4 that morning. On Monday, February 1, weighed in at 190.0. So an average of a little more than 2 lbs a week. It wasn't steady though- there was a week I gained and a week I lost more than I expected. I don't expect every month to be so successful, kind of surprised myself and really saw that tracking every day and being consistent is key.

    Somewhere in the 8 - 12 lb range. So we'll say 10. Went from 180 to roughly 170ish my first month. Ate at 1660 calories with a 'lightly active' setting at 5'8" for a 1lb/week loss. I also worked out on my elliptical 30 min/day and tried to leave 250 - 300 calories 'on the table' at the end of the day.
