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

I lost 26 in the first two weeks, of course, I also weighed 360 pounds!!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

Took me about 2 months. From November to now.0

I am also down 7lbs in 3 weeks, can't wait until 20lbs sure feels like a nice milestone to reach though!0

Took me about 4.5 months. Depends on how much you have to lose.0

Around 7 weeks.0

I'm into week three and I've lost 10 so far...I have a lot to lose though. It really just depends, there are so many factors, just revel in the fact that the number is goign down!
Good luck0 -

For comparison purposes I went from 184.6 lbs on 11-18-12 to 164.6 lbs on 01-21-13
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

About 3 months.0

about 3 and a half months. but it all depends on how much you weigh, how you are eating, how your exercise is, etc etc etc0

4 months. 1 pound per week is great. 7 lbs in 3 weeks is excellent. Congrats on your success so far0
-
I lost two pounds per week.... a bit more on some weeks, but on average it took ten weeks for the first 20.
As I went along, it takes more time to lose now....
No rush. I got the rest of my life!!0 -
2 weeks or so.
*disclaimer* I was a huge sweaty 337 pound mass of ermagerd when I started. That shouldn't be expected for all. No, there weren't secrets / fads / pills / magic beans / magic bullets / Dr.Oz involved either.0 -
About six months - lost 14 in my first 12 weeks and 7 in the second 12 weeks. Now I'm down another 10-15 and have been maintaining for about 3 years!0
-
That's a healthy weight loss. I've lost weight faster, and then bounced right back... and higher0
-
I'm in the same position you are I'm down 8 and in the middle of my 3rd week. I don't look any different but I certainly feel better even if it is only 8lbs.0

About 3 months for me.0
