    I lost 12 pounds this week. All I did was cut out the fat and light exercise. I'm over 300 pound also. Today is day 1 of 30 day shred so maybe I'll lose more next week.

    WAY TO GO GIRL !!! THE MOST I EVER LOST WAS 10 IN WEEK. THE MORE WATER I DRINK AND EXERCISE HELPS ME :)


    I agree. The more water I drink the fuller I feel. Plus ice cold water burns calories haha.

    Can you tell me what the thirty day shred is please?

    Here's a YouTube link of the workout. You can get the DVD at Walmart fit about 10 bucks. I sent you a message too ;)

    I agree with others, I think it's normal - and awesome. My average weight loss is 1 - 1.5 lbs per week. But twice since June I've lost 2.5 or 3 lbs over the week. Like you, I'll lose .5 lbs everyday for 5 days or so. I'm not sure why it happens and if it happened every week I'd be worried.

    It usually stays off for me. When I lose a whole pound or two *overnight* I always know it won't stay off. I usually gain it back the next day and then I'll be back down to that weight in a week or week and a half.

    ETA: It also depends on how much you weigh. If you weigh over 300lbs or so it wouldn't be crazy at all to lose 4-5 lbs a week. I weigh 173 and I lose 1-1.5 lbs a week which is average and ideal.

    8lbs last week, after being put on a special plan by my dietician. Probably mostly water, although I drank tons of it. 2lbs this week, and I'm surprised I even lost that. *shrug*

    After a big trauma about 4 years ago, I lost 38 or 39 lbs in a month...that's about 9lbs a week I think. No idea how - I thought I was eating pretty normally. Stress just does that to some people I guess. It happened once before (when I was 15) also after a traumatic event.

    Most of the time if I lose 1-2 lbs, I consider myself lucky. At my weight (276lbs as of today) 2lbs a week is fine; if you're lighter then 0.5lbs, 1lb, 1.5lbs a week is healthy, or so I'm told.
