I think 7 lbs in 3 weeks is fantastic! Everyone is different I believe in the way they loose weight, at first it may come off fast but 1 to 2 pounds a week is healthy If your feeling your loosing to slowly don't feel this way, your doing great!0

It depends on your starting weight. The heavier you are, the faster it'll start to come off.0

a year... yup, sure did :blushing: But then I lost another 20 over the next six months and no matter HOW long it takes it IS coming off :drinker:0

You inspired me.... Makes me feel better and I only need to loose 30lbs might push for 40lbs ... Thanks0 -
Took me 4 months. Its going slow but its going. One day at a time. Wish it would go faster but at least I don't have to worry about loose skin issues. It takes what it takes and I already feel so much better, can't imagine how much better I will feel in another 20 lbs gone!0

It does depend on your starting weight.0 -
I didn't lose ANY weight for the first 4 or 5 weeks when I started. Count yourself blessed with 7. That said, it took me almost 6 months to knock off 20 lbs. It took me a year to drop 30. I've set a new goal and i"m shooting for a little lighter for running season. See if it helps be speed up! :-)0

It took me 9 weeks to lose 20 lbs. I'm in no rush...as long it's coming off I will keep doing my happy dance!! lol Good Luck!! :bigsmile:0
