How much did you lose in the first 2 - 3 weeks?

kenya1094 · January 2016

I am getting myself ready to hit this thing but I am wondering if you are 50 - 70 lbs overweight if you can lose more than 2 pounds in the first 2 - 4 weeks. I would love a better kickstart. Any suggestions?

A huge loss of water weight is pretty common in the first 7-10 days. I've lost 5-8 pounds in the first two weeks. I think once you make it to week three, things get better. Good luck!!!!

I just got back on the wagon and I've lost 5.7 lbs in 4 days of eating the following: breakfast 2 whole eggs 2 egg white omelet with mushrooms and bell pepper 1 tbsp of butter, lunch kale salad from Sams Club (half the bag) 1/2 c of cottage cheese, dinner varies but higher protein and veggies, snacks are berries beef jerkey or hard cheese (1oz.). My goal is lower carbs lots of veggies 2 servings of fruit a day and higher protein moderate fats. I'm not hungry, it's easy and convenient, and tastes good. This is usually between 1250 calories to 1400. Wishing you success!

I lost 7 pounds the first week, but as most people will tell you it is mostly water weight. After that I leveled out to the 2 pounds per week I was aiming for.

First month I lost just shy of 18, I also weighed 400 and most of that loss was water weight

I have lost 6 lbs in my first week. When I am all in, I tend to lose between 2-5 lbs per week, consistently.

About 2 lb. It wasn't a race.

I'm down nearly 9lbs in the first week but have loads to lose!

Thank you for your answers everybody. I have never weighed this much in my life and I am distraught. I guess I just have to get moving. Thank you again!

I gained 2 lbs the first week. A little different than everyone else

But the second week I lost 4-5 lbs. Just wanted to say that, even if you don't lose much the first week, you will eventually see a difference. Good luck!

I lost 10 lbs a month the first 3 months...

buttersbunch · January 2016

❤️From 410 pounds to 135 pounds❤️

I lost 6 pounds my first week and 2 on my second week. I am currently on my 3rd week, but I won't weigh in until monday.

DaisiesandViolets · January 2016

I lost 4.8 lbs my first week and 1.2 lbs second week. Today starts week 3!
SW: 234.4
GW: 175
Good luck!

I ended up losing 10lbs in the first week then stalled for 4 days before eventually losing a further 2.2lbs (with 2 more days until my official week 2 weigh in). I'm pretty fat though and had 100lbs to lose when I started so still 88 to go!

jmackey1980 · January 2016

17 in the first three weeks, 8.5 the first week. Slowing down significantly now to be 2-3 per week avg most likely based on my past experience. I am hoping to lose about 65 total.

jason6252 · January 2016

At the end of week two right now and as of today I have lost 8 pounds.

shadowconn · January 2016

I lost somewhere between 10 and 12 pounds the first few days and 20 in the first month. Most of that was probably excess water. I've lost a total of 50 pounds in the last 160 days

samchez0 · January 2016

I had about a 4 lb loss that first week but went up a lb this week. I'm not concerned cause I'm just starting out and it takes time to lose weight. My body is still adjusting to the new change in diet and activity

How do i know how many calories i hav to eat, the one they hav mentioned on the food diary ?? And also after adding the exercised burn calories it keeps varying. Plz help

khmomto4 · January 2016

I lost 8 my first week & a half and 2 over the next week. I quit drinking soda and of course cut my sodium way back so I figured that 8 was mostly from those changes. But 1-2 lb a week moving forward is fine with me. I figure even if I only lost 1 lb a week, I'll be 52 lbs lighter come New Year 2017! ;-)

ShrinkinMel · January 2016

This round I lost .3 in the first week and 3.2 lbs the second week. Yeah it can be bigger losses at the start with big changes. I was dancing on a Wii game and burning a lot of calories. Plus I did two strength and did about 90% or better on keeping to MFPs target calories. I went over a few days but some where way under based on dancing calories which I am sure are being way overestimated. I had a couple days I didn't track at all(Saturdays).

luvleephilly · January 2016

I didn't lose any weight in the first week and the second week lost 1/2 pound but I knew I was losing inches and that's where I was losing the biggest so I didn't let the number on the scale stop me. I've been at this for over 2 months now and have lost close to 22 lbs.

Odilerubia · January 2016

I will send you a message to make sure you get the info about the calories. I started last Monday and was totally confused as well!

How much did you lose in the first 2 - 3 weeks?
