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.

    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.

    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 :blush: 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 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!

    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.

    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

    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
