1st week weight loss average??

I wasn't a bit first week loser at all only losing 1.5 lbs.

Pretty sure my first weigh in was a 7lb weight loss

I lost a little over 5lbs my first week and a friend of mine lost about the same

How much is the average to lose in a week on MFP??

it depends how much weight you have to loose, your activity level, your caloric intake, your metabolism, etc..
It is different from person to person.
Usually, the bigger you are, the more weight you will lose in the first 3 to 4 weeks as you start exercising and eating healthy.. Then it will normalize to a stable number (1 to 3 pounds per week)

4 the first week.

.5 on average the other weeks.

I'm on the 1 a week plan but don't get freaked unless I get two ups weights in a row.

I'm in the slow and steady camp. Not sexy, not "Kool" but I'm looking at eating healthy and cutting back as something for the rest of my life.

6lbs just finished my first week so I don't know really went to the gym the 1st day, then had the flu really bad for the rest so maybe I lost weight being sick so maybe do overs and the gym starting Monday well Sunday.

There really is no Average..seeing that weight lost has to go on so many factors for example, your age,weight, how much you have to lose, your lifestyle, etc.

I just finished my first week. I only lost 2 lbs However, I must admit that I wasn't consistant with logging my food. If I kind of "start over" this week and do things right, can I expect to lose more this week or should I still look for 1-2 lbs?

Ok this is my first week of mfp and I love it.. but here is my question.
Are you cutting more fat or following strict diets or just staying in the guidelines of the amounts you can eat..
I am on day 3 after I saw the Today show I thought I would give it a try.
I am in that "50" age group and am active but find losing weight very hard for me.
If you have any suggestions or tips I would love them..

Thanks Mar :blushing:

I lost 10.5 lbs my first week.

I only lost 2 the first week but then 5 the next.

14 in my first week, but that was probably from going from 5000cal a day plus to less than 2000.

I lost 5.6 lbs but after that it was an average of 1 lb a week.

I gained 2.

But then I hit the weights not the cardio.

Look at yourself in 4, that's when you start to smile!

I lost 10 lbs. the first week (last week). That was do to cutting sugar completely, all sugar free now, the only sugar I eat is from fruit. And going from a sedentary lifestyle to waking 3 miles A day and 40 min of The Biggest Loser Cardio Max. Oh and logging every bite. I reaized I was consuming 300 calories just from creamer alone!
