How much did YOU lose?

I started Oct 09 at 248, I hit 199 in April '10. Weight loss slowed dramatically after that, unfortunately, but I'm still pressing on. Doing what I can to lose FAT, not weight (there's a diff, to me at least)

the first month is often a big one in terms of scale movement. It does slow down to a more reasonable and predictable rate after you stick to your goals for an extended period of time. it's a little different for everyone, but most people settle into their steady losses by month 2-ish

I went from 297 to 282.

Yes it will slow down from time to time and you will reach plateus every so often. The best advice I can give for that is to change your exercise routine. I did cardio twice a day for month then stopped losing. So I dropped to cardio once a day and started adding light weights. Then 2 months later added more resistance training, then a few months aftere that changed some of the cardio to race walking, then cahnged again to zumba. Alos besure to make sure you eat protein 3 times a day that will help you lose weight at a steady pace. At least this all worked for me. Good Luck and don't give up. Any weightloss even 1 lb is a success.

I am not done with my first month but I have lost 9 pounds... and honestly of it was within the first week. I have had a massive slow down. Which I expected but it can be discouraging. But, the 1st of February is my 1 month anni and I hope to lose at least 4 pounds by then.

Hi my. Name is shelly and I'm doing the HGC diet. I started the diet this past monday and I've lost. 7.6 lbs. I'm very happy with this diet and my weight loss. I have very bad back problems and have bone deteration in both of my ankles so I'm not able to exerciseexcept walk around a stor for a bit. But I'm still loosing. Yesterday I only lost .6 of a pound and lost 1 pound today without even exercising. Lost over 1 1/2 inches in my hips and waist. All u can do is just keep on u diet their are more days ahead.

I lost 16 pounds my first month and it has slowed somewhat, but not all that much - I still average around 10 pounds per month or a little more.
Each week is fairly consistent as well - here's a chart I made when I hit my 4 month mark.

WOW, you guys are incredible! Great weight losses and motivation! I'm so excited to start this journey and join your numbers. Just started, 5lbs in the first week.

I have been on here just a few days over 2 months and so far I have averaged 2 pounds per week! My first week was my biggest loss at 4 lbs. and I had 1 week when I didn't lose anything, but like I said I am averaging 2 lbs. per week. However, I do not expect that to keep up, very soon I will probably drop down to .5 to 1lb per week or less. Especially since I am so close to my goal weight.

I dropped 10 pounds week 1, 2 pounds week 2, and 3 pounds week 3...Feb 1 is my one month marker, and I'm hoping to drop another 2-3 before then.

Your body will slow down to a healthy weight loss, as long as you continue to eat healthy. I was told by my doctor that the first week or two are normally a kick start, because you change your eating habits so quickly, and your body gets discombobulated.
