Still loosing weight really quickly

Determinedtoloseliz

I started mfp on 28th March 16 at 13st 11.8
I am now 11st 8.2

My weight loss was understandably quick at the start then slowed down to just over a pound a week I'd say. Now I'm loosing weight quickly again (over half a st in two weeks). I eat half my exercise calories back, sometimes it ends up being more like three quarters (I like food ok).

Of course I love that it's going so fast, doesn't everyone want to be at their target weight like yesterday? But should I be worried.

I think I average about 1.7lb a week loss so maybe that's not too bad, but my calorie deficit is only 1lb.

I have inserted some screenshots of my recent weight losses.

This happened to me as well. At the time I was only eating half my exercise calories back. I started eating more and the loss slowed to what I planned on.

You're overestimating your food or underestimating your exercise. We generally hear of mistakes being made in the opposite direction, but it can go either way. I tend to err in the same direction as you.

Are you logging exercise and eating back the calories? If you are using myfitnesspal's numbers for your calorie goal, then you should be. If you don't then that is why you are losing faster than expected.

1.7lb per week is still healthy enough loss. Although as you get nearer goal .5-1lb is a healthier rate and will mean you will lose less muscle along with the fat.

You've just been eating at a higher deficit to have that amount of loss per week. If you feel hungry at least you know you can up your cals a bit more and still lose.

Well done on your progress so far
