      No idea. I guess I could average it out, but where I lift so much my weight loss tends to be non-existent to bursty. For example, I have been at the same weight for about 3 weeks now, but I know my body composition is changing. I have only been logging for 75 days so the initial weight loss would screw up trying to figure an average anyway.

      Varies greatly for me, but when I average it out, its 1/2 lb a week.....very slowly!

      Consistently 1...but I'm always striving for more "bonus" weeks of 2-3.

      Different most weeks...2 lbs to 4 lbs a week.

      I have only been on MFP for 19 weeks, and my average is 2.3 pounds per week. However, the last few weeks it has slowed down to about a pound per week. I try to keep my deficit smallish because I am focusing on strength training, so I upped my calories to able able to include more protein.

      It varies but on average I would have to say about 1.5lbs.

      What a strange question!
      All my pounds are firmly attached.

      I ve lost 48 pds in 50 weeks - I will let someone else do the math - too early to think !

      This was all done with cardio only - next 52 weeks will have cardio and lifting.

      1lb a week if that! infact its been going back up again the last week, even though my measurements are down so i try not to pay to much attention to the scales I know im getting smaller and more toned

      I lose on average 1 lb a week.
      It seems so much slower than that, and I wish it were faster a lot of the time, but I know that at this rate, it's coming off for good and I'm not starving myself.
      I have lost 45 lbs and probably have another 70+ to go.

      I've been on MFP for four months and have lost 20 pounds, so average a pound/week. Some weeks though I didn't really loose other weeks lost 2-4lbs.

      1. Boring and slow, but easy and it adds up.

      Don't be pedantic, i'm sure we all knew what the OP was saying.

      I've been losing 3-5. Today was my 85th day of logging in and I've lost 57 pounds so far. Of course, I also run 30-60 minutes, 5 days a week.

      1-3

      I have been steadily losing anywhere from 1.5-2.5 weekly!
    • Posts: 716 Member
      None really. I tend to lose inches more because I strength train. I've been at the same weight for almost a month now and I feel great.

      I've been losing since March 30th, 2012 and so far have lost 115 lbs, or about 3.8 lbs per week on average.

      Ive been having weird weeks of 1 lb then 5 lbs

      At this point, having just come off a serious 2 week holiday bingefest w/ no exercise...the weight will fly off me in the first few weeks back on my regularly scheduled programme.

      I'd say 1.5-3lbs depending on my water intake. I do one day a week of a protein shake fast, just to get things balanced up; it works for me.

      I'd like to lose 15lbs by NYE... very unlikely unless I go at my bingo wings w/ a blunt knife. That's 7 wks so in theory it should be possible but the weight slows down considerably the closer I get to my goal clothing size.

      I used to lose 2-3 lbs a week but after almost two years of MFP my weight loss has slowly reduced to around 2-3 lbs in a MONTH.

      1-2lbs per week but I'm losing much slower now that I'm getting closer to goal.

      I have lost 8.2 pounds in a little under 3 weeks. But alot of that is water weight and cleansing out my colon I'm assuming. So I am sure it will slow way down! Just happy to see progress!

      .5

      on average a week

      Last week was a weird one for me. I only lost 0.8 pounds and I've lost that much in the past 2 days. So discounting last week I've ranged between 1.6 and 2.6 pounds.
