Only lost 1 pound in two weeks, is that normal?

You're not doing anything wrong. The weight comes off quickly in the beginning and slows down as time goes on. Be patient and keep doing what you are doing. Make sure you are taking measurements of your body as well and not only go by what the scale tells you. Inches lost = lower body fat percentage.

So you have lost 10 pounds in 6 weeks ? That is good.

Nothing wrong. Normal variation in weight loss. Your body is not a machine and is affected by many things.

Remember: working out keeps you healthy and makes you look great. Eating makes you lose weight.

I have been losing one lbs every two week, it is my norm. Although I did not see any rapid weight loss at the beginning like everyone else. As long as I am losing inches, I am learning to be happy with my results.

Hi! It is absolutely normal! You're doing great! I know it can be discouraging, but DON'T give up! Slow weight loss is the way to go...You're more likely to keep it off! Your weight loss will naturally slow after the first few weeks as your body adapts and becomes lighter.

MOST of the time when reducing body weight....
Less weight to move during activities+doing the same activities= less calorie burn because your body is adapting, WHICH IS GOOD!

Also, you are likely building muscle and/or replacing fat with muscle... If you can, take measurements and before/after photos.
My scale hasn't moved down in over a year.(And I'm still 18lbs overweight). BUT I see a BIG improvement in my body. The scale isn't always the BEST way to measure progress :flowerforyou:
Keep going, it is normal and you are doing amazingly with the weightloss so far! :drinker:

Ok thank you! I was also told by someone that because I am weight lifting that I am gaining muscle mass and not to worry about what the scale says.

Well, you're not going to be gaining a lot of muscle eating at a deficit, but you're likely retaining water for muscle repair which can throw off your scale weight.

Also realize that there are going to be weeks when you lose less, or don't lose at all, or even gain. Weight fluctuates quite a bit, and the scale is mostly good only as a trending tool. If the overall trend is down, then you're good.

Your initial weight loss will often start to slow down as the water weight you dropped when you started eating at a deficit and exercising fell away, then balanced off. There's nothing wrong with losing 0.5 pounds a week. It's not a race. You took time to get to the weight you where started this journey; it'll take time to get to the weight you want to maintain.

Chin up.

Hello,

Ive been working out every day, and been at this for 6 weeks now. The first two weeks, I lost 4 pounds, the second two weeks I lost 9, and the current two weeks Ive only lost 1 pound. I've been weight lifting now about 3-4 weeks. I do cardio one day, then weight lifting the next. For an hour every day!

What am I doing wrong? I eat around 1700-2000 calories a day.

Thanks!

A. Normal kind of varies from person to person.

B. 14 pounds in 6 weeks is great. Some people would cut off their arms to lose a fraction of that in that time frame.

C. Relax.

14 pounds in 6 weeks??? Wow! I would be jumping up and down!
