Weightloss isn't linear. See what happens over the next few weeks2

Your first few weeks will be a lot of water weight. 1 lb a week is good.2

1 lb a week is totally normal! Unfortunately, weight loss is slow and not linear (as mentioned above). Anything negative is a step in the right direction. Great job!1

Thanks for putting it in proper perspective!0 -
1-2 lbs a week is a healthy weight loss. You'll loose most at start due to water then it should slow down because of loosing Fat hopefully. If you do strength training it'll help prevent your body raping your muscles for energy if you do cardio.1

A small loss is better than a gain! My first week I lost almost 5lb then the week after just under 1lb, still all in the right direction.this week I think I've stayed the same but I have only been to the gym once and eaten. A few biscuits. Will try harder next week...0

I only lost 1 lb. this week too. Pleased as punch with that! I'm down 14 over-all. I have 15 or so to go. If I'm there in 15 weeks? I'll be a happy camper. Actually, that would put me at my goal the week of the half marathon I'm training for.
That right there? That's awesome.0 -
Every. Single. Pound. Is. A. Success!
Well done everyone. And if it doesn't happen this week, what is a week in the big picture? nothing
Stay positive and motivated :flowerforyou: 1 -

1% of your bodyweight (per week) is the generally accepted upper limit for weight loss.0

I only lost .25lb. Been doing lots of aerobics. New muscle. But still disheartening. I get it.0
