What is your average loss per week?

maillemaker

How long have you been maintaining a calorie deficit and what is your average loss per week?

I have been dieting for 23 weeks and am down 28 pounds, for an average of 1.2 pounds per week.

How about you?

I'm lucky if it's half a pound a week. Of course, I'm nearing the end, so that's how things go. These past couples of weeks I can't seem to get it to go down at all.

About 26 weeks now. Averaging 1.8lb loss per week. :drinker:

I'm at about 7 weeks and averaging a little over 3 pounds a week. I'm supposed to be losing a pound and a half, but maybe I'm more active than I gave myself credit for? I figure that if it works and I'm not starving, it's fine.

About 16 weeks here. Averaging about 1.2 a week. But I have been all over the place. Often losing only .2s or .4s, and then will get hit with a 2lb or even a 4lb once.

When I weighed 192 I lost 30 pounds in a little over 2 months, so about 3.5 pounds per week. A year later I was at 172 and lost 18 pounds in 2 months, so a little over 2 pounds per week. To get down from 154 to 145 took me 5 months. It took another six months to get to 127. I maintained that weight for years and decided only recentlytomake that"final push" to the body I want. 2 months of excruciatingly hard work and I'm down to a whopping 123!

Moral of the story is the more weight you have to lose, the faster you will lose, so don't compare your rate of loss to others ( or even your former self).

Back when I was actively trying to lose I was steadily losing at 1-2 lbs per week. I've been maintaining for months now though.

Congratulations - That's great for all of us to remember.

I Lost 1 pound a week at 1250 till I lost 28. Then I changed to 1600 with increased exercise and stood still for 7 months. Brought my calories down to 1450 and got 1/4 pound a week the last three weeks. 15 to go.

This.

Each person is different. Slow and steady win the race.

Good luck in your journey

Right now, about 1lb. I'm only doing yoga (currently power, but switching to ashtanga soon) right now so I'm not expecting the greatest results. I'll be adding skipping into my workouts soon so theoretically I should be seeing a 2lb loss then.

I've been losing for the last 4-5 months. Over the last 90 days, I've lost an average of 2 pounds a week. It does vary -- some weeks it is a little over a pound, other weeks it is almost 4. I think some of the variation is water weight.

terriblyn

6 weeks 4 lbs.

1.5lbs./week

That's my goal and I'm reaching it.
Slow and steady is my indicator that it's fat loss...that and my emerging cut lines

bcattoes

Zero most weeks. I've been maintaining for a couple of years and now that I'm trying to lose another 10 it's very slow. I expect it will take at least until after the holidays. Possibly till next Spring. I'm cool with that.

But I am going to start ChaLEAN Extreme in a couple of weeks, so maybe that last bit off sooner.

madtownjeremy

Yeah, I'd say about 2. If l look back over the past few months it all averages out to that.

determined_erin

I've lost 80 lbs within 35 weeks, making my average 2.29 lbs per week.

I'm doing the old chalean, the turbo fire. Because of my knees I do it from a chair, and it is an "extreme" sweat maker. She is dynamite.

11 weeks, 41 pounds, 3.6 pounds per week.

But for the first couple weeks, it was about 6 or 7, and more recent weeks it's smaller. At first, my loss was about equally fat, muscle, and water. More recently, my loss is almost all fat. (My physician has an InBody machine that gives me exact figures for these.)

KateK8LoseW8

49.4 lb in 20 weeks for an average of 2.47 lb per week. It was extremely rapid at first, and now I'm losing 0.5-1 lb per week.

Miepke99

I've only started two weeks ago and I'm losing 1 kg per week.
I know it's probably not going to stay that way, but for now, I'm happy with this.

How about you?

Mine goes up and down so fast by water weight I cant tell but I lose inches.I lost 4 inches and 19lbs.I gain while I weight lift and then lose it again.It changes by 5-6lbs and once in a while it will stabilize more and show the same number for awhile then go up and down until it stays down again.It slowly goes up and down and then a little more down so it's hard to say"Did I word that right"Kinda hard to explain...My trainer told me it takes 5 weeks to show fat loss and 4 weeks to show muscle gained or Vise VS and my body changes weight based on retaining water or not...Or something along that line(think that's what she said)

As of last Monday (only because I will do my weekly weigh in tonight) I had been diligently counting calories for 6 weeks and I had lost 10.7 lbs so an average of 1.783 lbs per week. Not too shabby

LarryDUk

I've lost 44 pounds in 15 weeks. In that time I have stalled twice for a period of two weeks each time. I needed to lose about 46 pounds when I started.

tattedlady75

I've lost 30 lbs in 28 weeks, so I am averaging about a 1lb weight loss per week. However though there have been weeks that there has been no change or an increase and then I get a 2 lb decrease, then stall for a week or two. It's been a slow and gradual process but it has been going down.

kns6374

About 8 weeks so far, and 24 lbs. down. About 3lbs a week, average. There have been some weeks where I lose crazy amounts, and other weeks were I hardly lose anything at all.

omma_to_3

First year, about 1 lb. per week. Second year, about .6 lbs per week. Third year (only partially through) about .37 lbs. per week.

I am a slow loser, with PCOS and Hashimoto's thyroiditis. I also like my food so run a fairly small deficit. That has made this a very sustainable thing for me. I aim to net about 1240 calories now (it was more when I was heavier) but I usually hit a net of 1350 to 1400 instead (just in my nature to always go over so I aim lower so when I go over, it's still an OK number). I used to eat back all of my exercise calores, but now I eat back only 70% of them. I try to workout 5 days a week.
