    Been at it since May 13th, and have lost 7 pounds. Each person is different, I guess. Just keep at it!

    Thank you. I have also been at it since May and have only lost 6 lbs. With everyone saying it only took them a few weeks or a couple months, I was starting to get worried.

    After going back over my report (didn't actually know), it appears it took 15 days to drop the first 10. I'm quite impressed with myself. :laugh: Ever since, I have been losing on average 1 lb a week. I don't really care how fast or slow it comes off as long as it comes off.

    This is quite interesting. Seems the average is 2 weeks, thus far.
    I imagine I won't have such luck :laugh:

    After both babies, using MFP, the first 10 lbs took about a month.

    After baby #1 I was eating 1200 calories/day and lost about 2 lbs/week fairly consistently after that.

    After baby #2 I am eating 1500-1700 calories/day and am losing 1-1.5 lbs/week.

    I had a lot to lose both times because apparently I am really good at gaining weight while pregnant!

    About 2 weeks. I was fluctuating a bunch at first so it's kind of hard to measure precisely. It slowed down to a pretty consistent weekly rate for a while after that.

    The bigger you are, the quicker your weight will initially drop. I lost 12.5 pounds in my first two weeks. That's when it stopped and I started losing weight at a normal pace.

    6.2 in nine days??? If you don't mind my asking what pharmaceuticals are tied into that progress?

    I lost 5 lbs the first 7 days of starting. I don't think it's unusual or surprising.

    I would attribute most of that to water weight from a diet rich is sodium from takeout prior to starting.



    @OP, it took me 12 days to lose the first 10 lbs.
