    10lb, first week of a diet about 8 years ago. Since I changed my lifestyle this year, my biggest weekly loss has been 5.5lb. I average around 2lb per week.

    7lbs years ago but this time around I've only lost 2lbs in the week and I'm eating much healthier than the last time. Maybe becuase I'm drinking so much more water than before?? That or my metabolism is really slowing down.

    3 lbs just this past week!!!

    It's my 3rd week of "dieting" and I've been busting my butt to burn the calories so I'm not sure that it's water weight but as long as it stays off, I don't care. :)

    I am so jealous of all those ladies who actually LOST weight after giving birth. I got weighed one week after giving birth and I was 5 lbs heavier than my last weight while pregnant! They told me it was water weight but a year later I was only 10lbs less than that!

    I'm happy to say that I got sick of that, especially considering I gained 60lbs with pregnancy, and have been taking steps to reverse that!

    My sister had a baby and lost 25 lbs in ONE DAY....:wink:

    Either way, most of these "big losses" can be attributed to water weight and aren't true fat losses, so it doesn't seem like much to brag about...:huh:

    1 lb = 3500 cals
    2 lbs = 7000 cals
    3 lbs = 10500 cals
    4 lbs = 14000 cals
    5 lbs = 17500 cals

    Even if most people ate NOTHING for 7 days, they would have a hard time losing 5 lbs in one week because your body JUST DOESN'T burn that much. As you can see, it is really impossible to lose large amounts of true weight in a short amount of time.

    Sorry to burst your bubble, but most of it is all water weight, kiddos.

    you took mine!

    14lbs water weight.

    True fat loss in one week? About 4 lbs. Which I'm proud of.

    At one point in my life, I was heart broken- causing me to really not eat the way I should- I lost 1 lb a day for 20 days, and a total of 40 pounds in 6 weeks. I don't recommend this. After a year and a half, I have gained it all back, and it was just very unhealthy.
