I started my Live-It February 19th, 2018 and I'm seeing great results! 42 pounds down in 5 weeks and no more blood pressure meds! Praise God!

May I ask how you lost an average of 8.4 lbs a week for 5 weeks? Or am I misunderstanding? Glad to hear your health is improving

I would guess that her starting point is higher and it's not unheard of to lose this amount quickly.

the more you weigh/the more fat you have the more you can lose in the beginning. so say someone 400 lbs loses 10 lbs a week, a person 200 lbs couldnt lose that much safely. a lot of it in the beginning is water weight as well. eventually the weight loss will slow unless in too big of a deficit.

I lost a significant amount the first week and I've averaged about 5 pounds a week the 4 following weeks. I do realize a lot was water weight, but I'll take it! I do have a lot more to lose, but I had to start somewhere.

You're rocking it, keep it up! I've never heard anybody call it a Live-it before besides me, from an amazing book I read

exactly but some will come here and wonder if they can do it at a weight where for them it may not be attainable. but we all have to start somewhere and as long as you are doing it in a safe manner thats all that matters and congrats.

All they have to do is ask. I'm only sharing my results hoping that it may encourage someone.

Thank you all!

I had similar results when I started lost 11 lbs first week thought I'd be at goal in few months. Nope didn't quite work like that but I do appreciate the 2-3 lbs lost a week now. Everyone just has to keep it in perspective it's a marathon regardless of where you start.

nothing wrong with sharing. but as for asking many dont they just come here and see other people doing things and think oh I can do that too,all the while not knowing the persons stats(height,weight,age,activity level and so on). Im not poo pooing on your weight loss or your sharing it so please dont think that was what I was doing. its great that you lost the weight.
