    The scale did NOT budge for over a month when I first got started with working out & eating better! So, I'd say 10 lbs is a HUGE WIN!!! YAY For you!!!!!

    I lost the initial water weight. I actually lost 12lbs in the first week. But big guys like me usually lose a lot early. But I am a bigger guy with somewhat higher leaner body for a 300+ pounder. So after the initial 12lbs, it's slowly come off.
    One month in, I believe I dropped about 20-25lbs.

    Only 2 weeks in for me. I lost 2 lbs, so 10 a month is super!! I have a habit of falling off the wagon 1 day a week :( But at least Im averaging a lb a week. Too hot out to walk and Im quite old for aerobics so I just play with my dog, and walk in place every day along with the daily chores.

    I lost 4 pounds the first week. My next weigh-in is this Saturday which will be the end of week 4.

    As of this past Saturday, I have lost 1.5 inches in my chest, 2.5 in my waist, and 3 in my hips. So far so good, I think. Am very curious to see what the scale says this weekend!

    I just finished my first month also, and lost 8 lbs. I think we are both doing good! Don't get frustrated! Just think another month and it could be another 10lbs, that is 20 lbs!! So worth it!

    I lost about 10 pounds too, but it gets slower because most of the original weight lost is water weight so now it seems like I'm barely losing D:

    Great job! I only lost 5 pounds at most my first month. Getting the ball rolling on your WLJ is the hardest part, but patience and hard work pays off! keep going, you're doing awesome :)

    I lost 13 pounds in my first month, regardless of whether it's water weight or not I just imagine someone passing me a backpack full of 13 pounds of anything and asking me to carry it around with me all day. As long as I'm losing and don't gain anything I promise myself not to be disheartened!
