In your first 6 weeks of your eating/exercise plan, how much weight did you lose? I am talking more to the folks who have a large weight loss goal - 50+ lbs. Thanks!

Edit due to title being cut short and nonsensical. :O)

    IF you are asking how much weight have I lost in 6 weeks, I cant tell you till tomorrow, but at 5 weeks I had lost just over 9 pounds.

    I lost 17lbs in the first 6 weeks...22lbs in 8 weeks and then it all s l o w e d down. :grumble: To be fair I think a very large %age of that was fluid as I have a lung condition which means I was retaining very badly. Cutting the carbs to 40% definitely helped with that

    I lost about 10 lbs in the first 6 weeks. I am a very slow loser so I am impressed with my success so far. I had tried unsuccesfully for 5 years to lose weight and finally "got it". I make sure I am active, in whatever that may be for at least 30 mins a day and eat within my calories. I also put my weight los goal as losin a pound a week because I do not want to feel deprived. I am in this for the long haul. And am hoping by losing slowly I won't have the saggy skin issue and that this "lifestyle" change will stick
    Best of luck,
    Christina

    this is my 7th week and i'm down 16.2 pounds (lol..just had to get that point 2 in there). slow and steady. Because i've got over 50 pounds to lose (in total i'm aiming for 70 to be in health BMi range), i don't see much physical difference in myself yet...but i sure feel a heck of a lot better!!

    As of last Wednesday (so 5 weeks and 3 days), I'd lost a little over 18 pounds. I'm THRILLED with the progress so far! I'm hoping to keep losing 2 pounds a week by upping my cardio and gaining a bit of muscle to burn more calories (even knowing it'll make my weight go up a bit). I'm planning on this taking over a year to make it to my goal!

    I lost exactly 20lbs my first 6 weeks. Now I have been at a complete stand still for a whole week. I am trying to lose 59lbs altogether.

    I'm on my 7th week and have lost 10 lbs...hoping since it's coming off so slowly that it will stay off!

    The first 6 weeks on MFP I lost 20. It slowed down after that. The week prior to MFP I lost 8, but that isn't reflected in my MFP total of 53. I still have 80+ to go.

    In the first 6 weeks I lost 26 pounds. I'm sure I'm not typical of most and believe me, I wasn't starving myself. It's amazing how much water weight I lost just by reducing my sodium intake initially.

    I started on 1/10, so right now I'm in my seventh week -- at this point, I'm about 20 lbs down, and (at least) 30 more to go. (Once I get to 180, I'll decide whether to keep pushing for 170-ish, or to stay at maintenance for a while...!)

    So far only 9 pounds. I am a bit disappointed-but on a positive note, I do feel better and I am able to do more physical activity than before I started.

    I can't be sure exactly since it was a long time ago and I'd have to dig deep to look it up but it was at least 15lbs but no more than 20.

    I started at 181 and had lost 12 pounds in the first five weeks. Then I went on vacation and gained some back then next week, then re-lost that weight the following week. lol

    14 pounds. 197--->183 But I've been there for almost 2 weeks. Frustrating. BUT, I did have to buy new jeans over the weekend because mine were falling off. size 16--> 14 TOM just left so I'm hopeful for tomorrow's weigh in.
