how much weight have you lost in a month?

gabriellejayde

This coming wednesday will be one month and I'm just about at 12 lbs. SO... 12, or maybe 13. My weight has gone up a pound (for no reason) this past week and I haven't been able to lose it, but I'm trying.

Btw, I'm 45.

I really think it depends on how heavy you start at and how drastically you change your habits. On the 13th it will be one month since I started logging and exercising, stopped eating out all the time, started eating breakfast and lunch every day, stopped drinking soda (I didn't drink alot to start though) as of this morning I have lost 12.5 lbs. But I have alot to lose.

Im unsure of how much i lose in a month.. its definately not more than 10 lbs but i am okay with that. I dont want to lose significant amounts in a month because the quicker you lose the more loose skin your going to have in the long run and people who tend to lose large amounts quickly are more prone to have rebounding weight and trouble keeping it off. this is what my doctor told me..

Wow, so envious of everyone! My biggest loss ever in a month is probably around 5 lbs.

When I did my weight loss program back in 2005 I stepped on the scale the first time after 6 weeks and I had lost 35.
This time I lost roughly 16 in the first month, but 6 of those were in the first week alone.
In the last 30 days it was 10.4 pounds.

I lost 8 pounds last month. That's the most I've lost in one month. Sadly I had a donut at work Saturday and went back up 3 pounds. *sigh*

I think that should be rather related to natural fluctuation of your weight, a single donut cannot in any universe cause you to gain 3 pounds. roughly 10500 calories are needed for 3 pounds.. that must have been a huuuuuuuuge donut ;-)

I'm losing more or less steadily at 4-4.5 lbs per month. I'm confortable with that.

I just recently got back on the wagon. It hasn't yet been a month. I believe I have another week to go.
So far, I've lost 12lbs.

Your body loses weight in chunks, not linear. I have found that you can do everything right and your weight loss seems to plateau but you are patient and keep exercising and eating at a deficit (however slight) you will lose it, it will suddenly "whoosh". There are so many variables for the scale though: water retention, digestion, allergies, sodium, carbs, water intake, DOMS, inflammation, the list goes on. People mistakenly think they lose weight when they eat more because of these fluctuations.

If you have a lot of body fat reserves you would be surprised at how little you can eat (unless you have emotional eating issues or disorders). The leaner you get the less your body has to draw from and then you have to taper up your calories. There is no such thing as starvation mode for women over 12% body fat or men over 6% body fat. I am a living breathing example of that. I went from obese to now under 12% BF and I've maintained for one year and built muscle the whole time. You don't BUILD muscle in starvation mode, so I proved everyone wrong.

If you want to learn the real truth invest in this. I gain nothing by it, but I am passionate about other people finding the same success I did and learning all the myths floating about in the diet industry that is designed to keep getting your money over and over. --- > http://www.anythinggoesdiet.com/no-diet-rules-allowed.php (This is NOT about eating junk food!)

Oh yeah and you can do this WITHOUT a personal trainer or coaching. Read the book, it explains the answers, done. Then just do it. Of course the superior designed workout helps as well.

I'd hope so! I didn't eat that many calories in this weekend alone. It was a 400 calorie donut (chocolate icing and peanut butter filling, yum) though and I compensated by eating half of my lunch. Although I would like to see how big that donut would have to be to have THAT many calories. In any event, I'll just cut down on sodium and carbs and see if that helps with the fluctuations. :P

I lost on average 8lbs a month by cutting portions, cutting alcohol and adding exercise , not mad diets I still ate what ever I wanted but sensibly. I was happy to go slowly as I believed it would stay off if I adjusted my bad habits and guess what I was right. I have kept that weight off for 8 months and also I avoided saggy skin! Be careful with big losses, may be good in the short term but can you keep up in the long term?
