I lost 8 pounds my first week. This is toward the end of my second week, and I've lost 0.4 pounds. My net calorie goal is 1200, and I exercise four times a week for around 40 minutes each day.
It's like everyone says -- give your body a month or so to get used to the new lifestyle changes you're putting it through. That's where you'll start to see the real progress.0 -
I am on my first week and I won't be weighing in for a few more days but my calri goal to loose 1 1/2 pounds a weeks is 1400. I'm eating all of that...lol...and if I excercise I'm gonna eat more! I am more excited for the inches lost over the pounds though...to me the scale is a number and my measurment is the most accurate way of knowing how well I'm doing:) Good luck on your weight loss and please let me know you week 1 end result.0

I lost 2 pound and even though I haven't recorded the weight, it has gone up and down. I know I am trading fat for muscle as I can see it (been exercising everyday, usually exercise 2-3 times a week). I am not too worried as I have eaten really well, have not gone hungry, have kept on or around my 1200 calorie intake, exercised, look and feel better... I will try an wean myself off the scales and just look once a week, as I know it is discouraging. I am determined for a steady weight loss and lifestyle correction. The fast loss bounces back on fast as well, if the changes aren't permanent and sustainable.:0

ZERO. (Glad to see others have had similar issues!) Lost 0 on my 2nd week (exercised 3-4x each week), and 0 for most of my 3rd week. I think I may have even gained a pound. The last week I exercised 6 times that week with 30-35 minute duration and then finally dropped 2lbs. My goal loss is about 15-20. Dealing with the appropriate water intake was a challenge for the first couple weeks because it was nothing but bathroom breaks all the time seemingly. The body is more used to it now and so that has changed!
If it weren't for being able to notice my arms and calves becoming more toned I have been tempted at times to say screw it because the weight is coming off so slowly. BUT I am shooting for a lifestyle change here to be just more overall healthy and so just keeping the long term goals in mind helps my discouraging moments.0 -
probably about .5 to 1. honestly the first month was hard not to mention the first week. honestly sticking to calorie and exercise goals is not easy. i still struggle with it after a 105 day logging streak, but I am down 12 pounds, so something is working
every little bit counts. dont get tied up in the first week.

I lost nothing for months!0

I lost 3lbs. MOST of which was water.
I jog with my dog, dance while doing clothes and cleaning, walk to work almost everyday twice a day. (about a mile and a half each way).0 -
I lost 2 kg in my first week using Diet Chef and MFP in combination. I have 23 kg to go which sounds so much better than 25Kg!
And for the first time in my life understand the need to eat my exercise calories and hey presto I got results. After years of staying at a static weight despite a heatlhy diet and plenty of exercise. Thats my one change! and on most days I have not eaten all of my exercise calories even,0 -
I lost 6 pounds my first week. I don't like using the word lose though because when you lose something there is usually an intention of finding whatever you lost. I perfer the term...got rid of.0

Hi! I lost about 3.5 pounds the first week. I cut back on my sugar, flour and wheat and I worked out 4 times that week. I drank 1/2 my body weight in water everyday!0

I lost 3 lbs. I have 1900 calories a day, and I really was bad with tracking all my foods and went over often. This is the start of my second week and I'm trying to be really aware of my calories and get a lot of exercise in this weekend. I'm having surgery next Friday so I especially have to learn how to moderate my food better....either way, eat your calories, work out, and while there will be some gains along the way, you will lose weight! Good luck!0

I weight myself once a month because I hate seeing water weight fluctuations. I'd rather weigh in once a month, then have days where I feel disheartened.
That being the case, my first month I lost 10 pounds, which is a little over two pounds a week.

1lb in my first week. Started drinking the water yesterday and feel better for it already. Also planning more exercise time!0

I lost 5 pounds in about 6 days. My allowed caloric intake is 2010. I was significantly under that most days. I exercised minimally. I believe it was mostly water weight.0
