    As long as I'm good and don't eat any fast food or anything like that, I lose at least 2-3 pounds per week and about 10 pounds a month like clockwork.

    10lbs in the first week (it was a week of hiking through the wilderness), and another 10 during the following few weeks.

    20lbs in the first month. I weight 230lbs when I started.

    That does NOT happen to most people.

    I lose between 8-11lbs a month depending on how good I am with food. I've got the exercise thing spot on but still eat badly at times and gain every weekend so have to lose again.

    In four months I've lost 25 pounds. That's roughly averaged to be 6.2 pounds a month. I love seeing this break down I'm going to have to start paying more attention. :happy:

    So far about 10 pounds a month but I expect it'll slow down now as I'm nearing my target.

    This board comes as such a relief. I've lost 5ish in the last month and I kept kicking myself, thinking that I should be losing 2/week. I'm glad to know I fall into a normal range.

    Just kinda started back just last month, but since March 14th, I have lost right at 12 pounds. BUT, I do have over 100 to lose, so I figure it will start to become less as I keep going. As long as I can lose roughly 1-2 lbs a week, I will be happy. :)

    I started this deal attempting to lose 1 to 2 pounds a week and for the first month that was doable. But now I'm at 3 pounds a month. That's easily doable. I don't stress about things, and I don't kill myself to make it happen. I just plug along. it seems like a slow way to do it, and i know people do it faster but now that I'm 74 down that's all that matters. It's taken me 24 months to do it, but it's done. All I can do is keep going and I intend too. I want to be sucessful!

    First month (and highest) 16.5lbs, second month (and second highest) 11lbs. Then its slowed down to a more sustainable and healthy rate.

    Usually 8 lbs. a month. Although, just recently, lost 12 lbs. in a month, which was insane to me-- one week I lost 6 lbs., which was a weird surprise. I'm hoping the 8 a month sticks for awhile, we'll see.

    Just finished my first month. Lost 2.2 pounds (1kg).

    I'm still figuring out my best approach. But at least it's going down.

    This is my first month, and I have lost 8.5 lbs so far. My goal is to lose 22 lbs total. I eat about 1700 calories per day, but that includes the calories I can have because I walk twice a day, about 2 miles each time.

    Well, I didn't actually tack my weight loss by month increments until last month. (May challenge) So, based on last month, it was 13.6lbs. I started out 330lb 5'10" female and I am currently 286.5lb. I still have 100lbs to lose and I hope and pray that number stays for at least another 3-5 months!

    I lost 6lbs in May, and 9 in April. I started April 1st, and had a goal of 30 lbs in 5 months. Two months in, and I'm half way there, but know the more fit I get, the harder it will be to keep losing at that pace. But I told myself I am making a lifestyle change and so that is the biggest focus.
