What's your weight loss rate?

79 days loss 14lbs lost = 0.177 per day x 7 days= 1.24 lbs per week

I lost 17 pounds in 29 days so thats 0.586 per day or 4.25 per week. Iv been working out ALOT and eating healthy. I know I won't get anywhere near these results this next month, but Im going to continue to workout just as hard and continue to eat good.

Since I started MFP in March:

145 days
Avg daily loss: about 0.28lbs
Avg weekly loss: about 1.94lbs
40.8lbs lost since March 13, 2013

WOW! That's fantastic!

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.

Thanks for the suggestion. I use a Fitbit (and have since May of 2012), which provides me with my TDEE every day based on how active I am during the day. They're typically very accurate, but they do use the standard BMR formulas to base calorie burns on, so the possibility absolutely exists that, despite no known medical issues, an RMR that tested at above average for my stats, and no extreme dieting in my past, my body in truth metabolizes calories at a rate comparable to a typical individual who weighs approximately 70% of what I weigh (yes, I've done the math on that)...still working on a way to account for that in my intake.

Seriously, thank you. I've encountered limitless frustration and tried it all. As of now, I'm just keeping my calories pretty low and keeping on keeping on. Like you said, losing a little is better than losing nothing at all!

And congrats to everyone else!

I usually lose about 0.75 pound/week. It's a slow but steady decline that I am 100% happy with. As long as I'm not gaining, I'm happy with my progress.

BarbieAs I would look at your workouts and ask what you are doing exactly and either continue what you are doing but intensify it as much as possible. Or change up your exercise routine completely because your body is used to whatever you are doing now and it has plateaued. Also, if you aren't eating enough, that could be another reason you aren't losing as much or as quickly because you have slowed down your metabolism by not eating enough. It could be in starvation mode so it's keeping all the calories you take in because it's not sure if it will get enough food next time you eat. Just a suggestion, maybe you have tried that already but if not, hope it helps!!

0.22lbs per day. 22lbs in 100 days or 1.5lbs a week. I took about 2-3 weeks off during that time.

20 pounds lost in my first 31 days! (I haven't weighed myself since, so I'm not sure what I've lost in the last 7 days).
= .645 per day

I've been eating almost exclusively raw and loving it.

I've lost 12.7 pounds in 28 days, or .45 pounds per day. Of course it isn't coming off as fast as it did in the first week when I lost 8.7 pounds.
