I am hoping to get alot of response to this. I guess I would be grateful to know when you started and how much you have lost since you started. I know that everyone loses differently, but I was curious what the general consensus was. Thanks!

    I started January 1st and have lost 20 lbs. There are people on here who have lost much quicker though. I'm happy to go slow and steady. Hopefully I can keep it off that way.

    Sometimes it is more about where you end up, not how (fast) you get there.

    20 weeks here, 35 lbs lost = 1.75 lbs/week

    However, some weeks I lost nothing or gained 1/2 lb.... other weeks I lost 3, 4, 5 lbs even.

    I started January 1st and have lost 35 lbs. I had hoped to lose 10 lbs. a month, but I'm content with what I've done.

    I started in mid March with 9lbs to lose. I have 2 to go. I've been losing a little less than a pound a week. Right now the tool is telling me that if I stay to 1200 cals, exercise, etc... then I should lose .3 lbs a week, but I realize that these last few are going to be the hardest.

    :grumble:

    been here for 2 months as of June 1 and so far have lost 28 pounds, which works out to something like 4 pounds a week. BUT, I have another 111 or so to go!

    I started in March and have lost 25 lbs:drinker: , on an average 2 lbs per week. My BMI is still in the obese section so I still have many to go. Don't forget that weight isn't the only measure....I have lost inches and inches. :happy:

    I am loving this website! I have lost 4 1/2 lbs in just 3 weeks since I started on the site, and although I am watching what I eat and counting calories, etc, I am not feeling hungry all the time. Before joinin the site, I had lost only 4 lbs in 3 months (and I was starving myself to death!).

    The average is a little over 2 lbs a week, but it came off quite fast at first. It's more like 1 to 1.5 per week now.

    I have been on for about 4 weeks and lost about 8 lbs, so 2 lbs a week for me.... Hopefully I can keep that up... but I am sure it is about to slow down.

    I started this journey on January 13th....I've lost 77 lbs so far!!! I lost a lot at first, like 5-6 lbs a week for the first month or so, then it slowed down to 3 -4 lbs, and now I average the 1- 2 lbs a week loss...just keep up the exercise and follow your nutritional guidelines set up here and it'll happen! Fast for some, slow for others....but it will happen!!!

    On the scale I've lost 6 lbs in 7 weeks. So, less then a lb a week . (Sort of annoying now that I look at it like that). However, I've also dropped 4% body fat. So, even though the scale doesn't show it, I've lost 10 lbs of fat and gained 4 lbs of muscle.
