Hello all,

Thought I would share my fist weigh in news!! Well I got up this morning with much anticipation and thought this is it the moment of truth!!! Went down to the bathroom and got the scales out and stood on them expecting maybe 2 to 3lbs at the most!!! It felt like a lifetime before the scales actually came up with anything and the results were amazing in my first week I have lost almost 11lbs!!! :bigsmile:

I never expected such great results in the first week!!1

Has anyone else had some great first weigh in surprises that they would like to share?

Natz :bigsmile:

    Well done! That is really really good!

    But do be careful about losing so much weight so fast - its much more likely to creep back on if it is not lost at a steady pace


    But well done! You're obviously doing something good :D x

    I agree with this, but I just want to add, I think it's normal to burn off a lot of weight in the first couple weeks. After two or three weeks, it'll probably average out to 1-2 pounds per week. Disclaimer: I'm not an expert. Just an amateur opinion.

    Aside from that, congratulations, welcome to MFP, and good luck continuing your journey! You're off to a great start!

    My first weigh in was this past Saturday and I had similar results! I lost 11.2 lbs in a week! My understanding is in the beginning its likely you'll lose that much because its mostly "water weight" your finally taking in more water and eating healthier foods so your body doesn't retain as much water. I imagine the weight loss will slow down for both of us these next few weeks.But either way losing that much in the beginning is exciting, it the perfect way to jumpstart our weightloss journey! Congrats! :-)

    That is fantastic news!! Congratulations! I've been on a weight loss program for 9 weeks now. In fact, Tuesdays are my designated weigh in days every week. I work 3rd shift, so I won't weigh in until later today but after 8 week I lost 31 pounds which makes me feel great! I did a 3 day body cleanse when I first started and I lost 10 pounds in those 3 days. It's so great to hear someone else having great success. Keep up the good work and hope to see those pounds melt away for you in the upcoming days/weeks/months =)

    Fantastic! My first weigh-in is in an hour and I am really anxious about it- worried it will only be a pound or two and I want to keep motivated. I really do not like stepping on the scale :)

    Well done!

    I have re-started my plan after a festive break, and I have also lost 11lbs in just over a week- and 3 inches from my waist!!

    It is probably mostly water weight, and will slow down to a steady 1-2lb per week loss. But congrats!!

    holy macaroni!

    I think my 1st weigh-in was maybe TOPS 1lb! Good job! Even if it's mostly water weight, it's still something :) Keep it up.
