in Health and Weight Loss
After we submit our food diary each day MFP tells us based on the days intake that if we continue to have smilar days in 5 weeks we should be a certiain weight. Just curious (speaking to those who have been using MFP 8 weeks or more) how much weight and or inches have you lost after 5-6 weeks?

    I usually lose between 8 and 10lbs a month give or take a few but it's added up to about that much a month.

    It depends on the person really. Some people can lose consistently and others may have a plateau for a little bit. My first 4 weeks I didn't lose at all but after that I lost rapidly. I hit a plateau for a little while and just recently started losing again. All in all though I have been working out and eating right since Dec.6th and have lost 26 pounds. I took a 2 week break to see if it would help me break my plateau and so far so good. So as you can see everyone is different and have different obstacles to overcome. The estimate they give is for if everything goes as planned.

    I am only in my second week.. but normally when I clean up my diet and start eating better it takes about 6 weeks to start seeing consistent losses on the scale

    I was interested in that too so 5 weeks ago as at 31 March I should be be down to 98.2kg (216pnds) started at 103.4kg (227.5pnd). I am currently 99.6 (219.1pnd) so I have one week to lose 1.4kg (3.1pnd), will be close but dont think I will quite make it. As for inches gone from 53 round my tummy to 47, waist 39 to 34 so pretty good I think. I am happy :o)

    I've been here a few days shy of 8 weeks. My next weigh in is in the morning. So far i've lost 23 pounds and 13.2 inches overall. I lost 10 pounds in the first 2 weeks, 3 the 3rd week, and averaged 1-2 since then. My ticker says 69 pounds, the rest was lost prior to mfp, it's there to remind e how far i've come.

    The first 2 months i dropped 44 lbs. I think 15 to 17 lbs a month is good for me.

    I have been Doing MFP for roughly two weeks i have lost just over 8lbs, I think when it comes to your diet diary and MFPs calculatuion it seems to be pretty accurate however it does not take into consideration Stress, Time Of month, any of that its calculated based on how many calories you burn 3500 equals a pound of fat and it calculates based on you daily average. So it may be a good number to look at to keep you going but the weight loss is completley up to you, and i dont think any of us repeat our days over and over again, you burn calories in every activity you do such as typing on your keyboard, Also everyday it says in 5 weeks 5 weeks so as you day changes so does the expected date you will reach that loss.

    Keep up the good work everyone, Just being on MFP shows you care about your weight you health and your self. You can do it, like Arnold Schwarzenegger would say "ITS NOT WHERE YOU START, ITS WHERE YOU END UP"

    I am down about 10 pounds a month, but when I started I had a lot to drop. I have documented every so often the 5 weeks I would be the MFP says at the end of a day. They are very close. I did it back in December and I was within 3 pounds of what they said. Then today was the 5 week mark and again I was 2.8 pound heavier than they predicted. I will take it. I know it changes every day, but when it is giving me a number close for a few days then I will write it on the calendar just so I know. I am impressed by the accuracy.

    i just weighed my self on my Wii Fit and and in 6 weeks, I have lost 2.6 lbs. I have been losing slow. I just recently upped my calories from 1200 to around 1650 or so. I have also been doing Jillian's Ripped in 30. I have 3 days left on it. I was exausted at the lower calories. Now I am feeling so much better. I have 17 pounds till I get to my goal of 140lbs. I would like to see the pounds come off more quickly, but at the same time, I want to feel good and not lose any lean body mass, so I am happy with the slower weight loss.

    Today is actually my 5th weigh-in day. I've lost 7.2 lbs which averages to about 1.5 lbs a week. I was originally setting my calories for a 2 lb a week loss but I recently reduced it to 1.5 lbs. The first two weeks I lost over 2 lbs each week, now it's coming off more slowly. Its frustrating considering I supposedly have a calorie deficit of 700 every day, so I should be losing more. But a loss is a loss so I can't complain :)

    I believe I lost 20lbs the first month/5 weeks and then 14 the second, so far. Next week's weigh-in will round out that number to the final amount.

    I've lost 6 lbs in just over a month. Seems very slow to me. And I haven't lost any inches which is super discouraging.
