    31 pound in 118 days = 1.3 pounds every five days

    I should add that I am 65, have no thyroid ( which makes me super hypothyroid ) and take cortisone each day. Supposedly it is impossible for me to lose weight.....:o).

    32 pounds in 584 days, or .055 lbs/day.

    Despite maintaining a deficit of ~750 calories/day for approximately 530 of those 584 days (yes, took a couple of breaks).

    No, I don't know what the eff I'm doing wrong (I've tried EEEEEVVVEERRRRYYYTHIIIING), but whatever it is, don't be like me.

    Only 60 lbs to go! Goal, I'll see ya sometime in 2017!

    :grumble:
    Congratulations on sticking with it! Losing 16 lbs per year is a LOT better than stagnating or gaining weight.

    Have you considered that your settings for your activity level (not including exercise) might be too high? For instance, if you have a desk job, but are in the category for salesman or teacher, your daily goal for caloric intake will be a few hundred calories too high. The same goes for exercise categories/descriptions.

    32 pounds since April 1, 2013 = 1.59 pounds a week. In actuality, I lost faster the first couple of months and it has slowed to 5-6 pounds a month now.

    As of today I'm down 7.6 lbs since 7/21 (17 days ago) so I'm at about .45 a day. Most of this is water weight I dropped within the first couple days though.

    That's an awesome rate especially since you don't have a lot to lose.

    You are doing great! I break my loss down in how long it takes me to lose each 10 lbs...

    1st 10 lbs - 2 weeks (5.0 lbs/week)
    2nd 10 lbs - 8 weeks (1.3 lbs/week)
    3rd 10 lbs - 29 weeks (0.3 lbs/week, it was a HORRIBLE plateau, I don't want to take about it)
    4th 10 lbs - 9 weeks (1.1 lbs/week)
    5th 10 lbs - 49 weeks (couldn't exercise - spinal surgery, I consider this forced time off)
    6th 10 lbs - 10 weeks (1.0 lb/week)
    The most recent 5 lbs has taken 6 weeks, 0.8 lbs/week.

    Obviously, the rate of loss changes (usually slows) as time goes by. I am uber okay with this. As long as I keep headed in the right direction. All in all, not counting the 49 weeks I was "off" due to surgery, I have lost 75 lbs in 64 weeks, which is a grand total of 1.2 lbs/week.

    Averages out about 2 pounds a week for around a year. (but I had a whale of a lot to start with, and :blushing: whale was not a typo)

    about .08 lbs a day or i like to look at it as alil over a 1/2 lb a week! the closer to your goal you get the harder it is to lose :( slow and steady wins the race, i guess ;]

    Average is about 1 pound every 10-14 days since the beginning of the year, though I went through a couple health setbacks. I'm just happy to be going in the right direction. In my opinion, a loss is still a loss, no matter how slow it seems. :smile: I'm involved in 3 challenges right now, so I'm hoping my average does go up slightly.

    Congrats to everyone on their successes!

    I started the beginning of July. Rate = 1 to 2 lbs a month. But I might not see any loss this month, so we'll just say 1 lb per month. I hope to increase that rate just a bit once September comes.
