    I lost 7.8 pounds my first week. I average about 2 a week now.
    (I gave up all soda from at least 2 or 3 cans a day, several cups of coffee light and sweet with sugar and creamer, as well as all the usual bad food choices!)

    I lost about 7 pounds my first week, and about 2.5 lbs a week there after. Men will lose about 2 lbs a week or so depending n size, women 1 or so. This of course is also dependant on activity levels and food intake.

    Why? first is water weight. If you cut down on how much you eat and how much salt you take in your body will equalize for that. Second, intestinal emptying lowers your weight as well.

    Even though you might be at a plateau at times, your body is storing up unexpelled foods, etc until that happens your weight loss will appear stagnent and not going down as fast as you want.

    Even though I have lost 16 lbs so far, I manage my diet as though I have only lost 12 pounds.

    Still, I am thrilled to have lost 12 pounds in 36 days.

    Using INSANITY and eating a very strict diet I lost 7 lbs the first week. Eating very well again I just finished the second week and have weighed myself as low as 188, but this morning was 189.5. My goal for the 63 day period of INSANITY was to get to 185. If I keep a lock down on the eating I should be there sooner than anticipated. If I see the scale say one-seventy-anything it will be the first time since college(I'm 40) that I'll have been in that area...

    SW: 201
    Wk 1: 194
    Wk 2: 189
    GW: 185 (subject to change)

    I'm a very active person, it is the eating that dictates my weight. Keep an eye on your intake, that dictates more than anything what you'll look like!

    I didn't in my first week.

    The first few weeks, I actually gained 9 lbs. I was/am feeling better, but gaining weight.

    Then my progress charts started to look like a Cardio-Gram. Up and Down and all over the place. Yes, I use the same scale, which is a new "cheap" one. I also weigh myself after relieving myself and before I eat, in the morning.

    I have made more weight loss progress, this last week. I have been ill and haven't worked out or exercised at all. I have maintained my calorie and water goals, though.

    I am -12 lbs from my start, in December.
