    For some reason when I saw the title of this post I thought it said "The most you've lost in your mouth" .... hahahaha

    I lost 15 lbs my first month, and the 12 the second. My third month (right now) is going a bit slower.

    I lost 8.6 pounds in August and 8.4 in September.

    Things have slowed down a little since then, but I think it's because my body is getting used to the nutrition and exercise habits.

    I averaged 2-3lbs per week so depending on the month I suppose it could have been as much as 12lbs

    My first month I lost 14 pounds, I've been stuck since - my own fault though, I got off track a little bit.

    In Jan 2011 I went from 115 lbs to 103 lbs in two weeks. I would not recommend it to anyone because i gained it all back Plus 5 extra pounds as soon as I started to heal from the breakup that set it off.

    :(

    Now just hoping for 4-5 lbs a month.

    If she had a husband that weighed 135 lbs he needed divorcing!

    30 lbs. But it was baby weight, so I would say it probably doesn't count. Healthily, I have lost 10 lbs. It was a great month filled with plenty of food, just lots of clean eating and exercise.

    I think 10 was the most. That was a couple years ago when I was restricting calories heavily...not smart for me!

    I lost 14 pounds my first month, and plateaued immediately. Now it's in the ballpark of 4-6 a month, when I'm not just randomly plateauing.

    15 kilograms (don't know what that is in pounds). Some hardcore trekking in north thailand for a few weeks.

    About 50 lbs.

    I got hit by a car and was completely immobile for a month. Atrophy is AMAZING for weight loss.


    To clarify: I don't advocate the getting-hit-by-a-car diet, but it's certainly less stupid than some of them.
