    I just joined last week and I lost 4.5 lbs!!!!!!!!!!!! I am eating 1201 calories, drinking tons of water and exercising some.

    My main thing was not eating out, cutting back on portions, and that has helped me a lot, plus this site is amazing!

    I think it was like 3 or 4 lbs with just diet and exercise.
    Many years ago I went on phentermine tablets and I think I lost like 5 or 6 lbs the first couple weeks - but that was basically b/c I was taking legal speed and not eating more than 16 points or 800 calories a day. No wonder I gained it all back the minute I stopped taking the pills.

    I lost 8lbs my first week with MFP. Of course I had 77lbs to lose. After that I had a couple weeks where I lost 3 or 4lbs but then it slowed to the normal 2lbs a week and now about 1lbs a week.

    I honestly haven't really fallen off the wagon, I just allow myself fun meals here and there and don't worry about it.

    I lost 14lbs the first week.
    I was SERIOUSLY retaining water because I was 8 months pregnant and I had been flying.

    Normally a healthy, sustainable weight loss is not going to be the quickest around. But I did have one week where I spent the whole week doing some high-mountain backpacking. It was with 50 lb packs and averaged about 6 miles per day with plenty of inclines. The food provided was basically high fat & protein snacks only, not many of what I'd consider "meals". I lost 5 lbs that week - fun week.

    I lost 3 lbs first week, 3 lbs 2nd week, 1.5 lbs 3rd and 4th week. .... It is not suggested to lose more than 2/week for a long period. At first you will because of water weight. But if you lose too fast, it may come back worse... make sure you eat your exercise calories back to nourish your body and muscles so your body doesn't go into startvation mode and you can stay healthy and do it for the long haul. Muscles take lots of calories, and fat takes muscles to burn it ;) You'll do great!

    I started in January and the first week I lost 9 pounds. Just by logging my food, and I stopped using cream and sugar in my coffee (which was saving between 500-600 cals per day!!).

    I've lost 12 pounds in one week after a 10-pound fluctuation increase from a weekend of Vegas buffets.

    The last time I was losing weight, I hit a plateau and wasn't losing for a week or two, but stuck with it - and BAM! I lost 7 lbs in one week - kept it off too and just picked up and carried on at my 1.5 to 2 lbs a week thereafter!

    Last year, in my first week of eating right and exercising every day, I went from 424 to 404, so 20lbs. I'm sure a lot of it was water weight, but after that is was about 2-4lbs a week.

    Don't over do it initially or it will be hard to maintain, you also don't want to go into starvation mode, that can sabotage your progress later.

    If you're only eating 1200 calories and then burning 1000+ calories you need to eat more. You should be trying to NET 1200 calories a day. Otherwise your body is going into starvation mode and shutting down weight loss because it thinks it's starving.

    Back when I wrestled in high school, I managed to lose about 6 pounds of actual weight in one week. I lost a grand total of sixteen pounds in about 3 months. While not exactly crazy, I was pretty lean. I remember putting on sweats, and hopping on the treadmill the night before a weigh in to sweat out a few pounds.

    The most water weight I ever lost was five pounds in a night. Imagine my surprise being 4 pounds under after being a pound over the day before.

    I've only lost 2lb in 2 weeks. Not sure if I'm eating too many or too few calories. Hmm.
