    Last year, in my first week of eating right and exercising every day, I went from 424 to 404, so 20lbs. I'm sure a lot of it was water weight, but after that is was about 2-4lbs a week.

    When I first joined MFP I lost 10lbs my first week, then 6lbs my second week. I was AMAZED and that was one helluva jump start! It has kept me super motivated :happy:

    Don't over do it initially or it will be hard to maintain, you also don't want to go into starvation mode, that can sabotage your progress later.

    wow! good job everyone! I was curious because I am eating no more than 1200 calories, going to the gym 1.5hrs now. yesterday i burned 1085 calories :). drinking green tea in the morning, multi b vitamins and cayenne pepper (in pill form cuz that pepper is really hot lol) because all those help metabolism and cayenne and b vit turn fatty acids into energy and i checked my scale today of which I should check it tuesday because thats my 1 week mark and ive already lost a few lbs...its been 3 days lol

    If you're only eating 1200 calories and then burning 1000+ calories you need to eat more. You should be trying to NET 1200 calories a day. Otherwise your body is going into starvation mode and shutting down weight loss because it thinks it's starving.

    Back when I wrestled in high school, I managed to lose about 6 pounds of actual weight in one week. I lost a grand total of sixteen pounds in about 3 months. While not exactly crazy, I was pretty lean. I remember putting on sweats, and hopping on the treadmill the night before a weigh in to sweat out a few pounds.

    The most water weight I ever lost was five pounds in a night. Imagine my surprise being 4 pounds under after being a pound over the day before.

    I've only lost 2lb in 2 weeks. Not sure if I'm eating too many or too few calories. Hmm.

    I lost 10 pounds the first week more than a year ago.
