I was just wondering how much most people manage to lose their first month or so. I was doing really great for about 2 weeks but it seems like im plateauing already which seems way to early for it barely being my first month :-( especially since I've been sticking to my diet fairly well.

    I lost 10-15 pounds before I started on the myfitness pal. within 2 weeks i went from 207 to 198ish. Didnt pay much attention after that. Should lose weight faster probably because its all water weight.

    About 8 pounds, and I cheated by going a few hundred over my calorie limit a handful of times.

    You're not in a plateau until you've been maintaining for much longer than two weeks. Read, embrace, adjust.

    6.8#... Aimed for 1.5# per week, so not too shabby.

    14 pounds

    My "starting" weight on1/1/2016 was 254. On 1/2/2016 I was 249. I think that is more accurate so I'm using that as my starting weight. As of 2/1/2016 I am 235.

    In the first month ... 4-5 kg.

    Nothing at all in the first 10 days, then it just started falling off.

    But I didn't just stick to my diet "fairly well" ... I stuck to it like a tenacious Jack Russell terrier. I was also exercising quite a bit and only eating about half my exercise calories back.

    20 pounds in the 13 months before joining MFP and about 6 since joining (3 weeks now). I do assume that rate will flatten out eventually. :)
