    I've lost 38 lbs in 7 months. I probably could've lost more but I slack on exercise.

    On average do you lose more than 2lbs a week? Yes, but I started out with over 200 pounds to lose.

    How much have you lost? 38 lbs.
    How long did it take? 8 months
    On average do you lose more than 2lbs a week? When I first started off, the weight came off quickly. Now it really depends on what I've done that week. Lol! I've lost anywhere from 0-1.5lbs a week since I got rid of my first 15 lbs.

    Hi smkcx!

    You are a young girl who know doubt could starve herself thin very quickly - believe me I've been there! Please -please think and be smart.....with only 50 or so to lose, a pound a week is about as fast as you should go. Really - any faster, you are just setting yourself up for a re-gain.

    What ever you do now, make your eating habits sustainable. Those calories and foods you could live the rest of your life on, in otherwords.

    I have friends who have 100+ to lose and they can lose at 2 pounds plus per week because they have alot of body fat to use as reserves (they can creat a large deficit). You cannot!

    Be smart and be safe - all the best! And, don't worry - you WILL get all those beautiful new clothes you desire :)

    Thanks and I doubt im going to starve myself thin, I done lost weight the wrong way (ate once a day -- lost 80lbs, but when i started eating again i gained 30lbs of it back.) So this site is pretty much helping me to eat 1200 calories (its insane how little i ate when I first started using this site, apparently my body was hoarding everything i ate -- I lived off soda and 1 very fatty, big meal a day) now I eat for every meal and etc. I'm trying to do it right this time around.

    I didnt mean to make my post sound rude! lol im definitely just trying to do it better this time around, I did it the wrong way once and I definitely learned my lesson! but just eating one meal a day I was losing weight fast so I didnt care -- but even though I did lose all that weight, I still never looked good cuz i was eating all the wrong things and all that soda! lol so even though I weigh 30lbs heavier now, I look better than I did after I lost my 80lbs -- aint that sad? lol!
