    I lost 12 lbs my first week and then for the next 6 months lost between 4 and 5 lbs a week, for the last 6 months I have averaged about 2 lbs a week, give or take.

    First week I lost 6lbs. Second week, another 6lb.
    Okay...that's as far as I am. 12lbs down. It may be water weight but I'm 12lbs lighter than I was last year. Don't really understand what water weight really is.
    Honestly, I'm not doing anything more exercise-wise, just logging my food and keeping it below my goal. And I'm drinking tons more water! So I'm not really sure I want to count those 12 lbs as water weight.

    I didn't have a scale, I just noticed my pants were getting looser on me. When I finally got to get on a scale I was finally under 200!!! I think about 195-198 or so...but I also lost the weight the wrong way by not eating much and sleeping a lot due to depression...but once the depression got under control I started walking 4 miles a day. :)

    I havent loss anything...very disaapointing. I have been reading that a few people who have lost a lot in the first week say its water loss...I'm on high blood pressure meds that rids my body of excess water..maybe why I didnt loose.. :huh: I had a few bumps in the road, but stuck to my exercise. Praying the next week looks better.

    14 lbs and I've not finished a week. I know reality is going to hit and it is going to slow down, I set my goal at 2 lbs a week and will be happy even when it slows to that.

    When I first started, I was weighing myself every morning and for the first week or so I was losing a pound a day! Obviously that slowed down then, but it gave me a great initial boost :)

    In my first week I lost 6 lbs. Now I am losing about 1.0 to 1.5 # per week. I wish it were more but I know this is the healthy way to lose it and keep it off!

    8lbs first week (which will have been mostly glycogen and water)
    3lbs second week

    Last year I was lighter and losing around 1lb a week, which is my aim after these first few weeks are done.
