That's totally normal and safe especially if you have more weight to lose. The first 10-15 lbs can be water. Just keep doing what you're doing. :-)

That's very normal and it levels out over time.

One thing to keep an eye on that you may be not focusing on is sodium intake. You've likely lost a ton of sodium with that weight. If you aren't currently doing so I recommend increasing your intake to at least 3000-5000 mg a day.

This was another recent post with the same question.
This low carber is close to goal and I am warning her to not get discouraged when the rate of loss significantly slows down or even appears to stop. It happens to all of us. Lots of people start to doubt themselves and start thinking they are doing something wrong. If you just keep doing what you're doing now, there is no reason to worry when the "stall" happens. There won't be a real stall. It's just part of the normal process. Sometimes it just slows down even though you're doing everything right. Lots of people start to question if low carb is the way to go, for some reason, they forget that low carb is what got them so far so fast in the first place. I just wanted to put this out there so you aren't discouraged when things slow down.
You're having a fantastic start!

My hubby lost 50 lbs in about 3 months and then slowed dramatically (though he left low carb at 3.5 months as he found it difficult with the p90x3 program he started). He went to his dr after losing 20 lbs the first 2-3 weeks and did get his Drs blessing.

I'm in the same boat as you. Day 10 and 10lbs gone. I'm so excited and happy with these results, and I'm LOVING low carb! I keep my carbs at 20 grams per day, calories anywhere from 1700-2200. I say enjoy it while it lasts, because it won't last forever.

I'd say the quick loss in the beginning was exactly what I needed. It kept me going mentally, being able to see success so quickly and feel good while doing it. I've tried other methods and it was so tedious and slow it really sucked and I was starving the whole time.

So true for me too! the quick loss gave me good motivation to keep going while I adjusted to eating fewer carbs.

I lostabout 18 pounds in the first month, and since then, no loss. I fluctuate a lot from 260 to 265. A solid month with no additional loss. But I have had other good things happen.... smaller waist, started to exercise, and I can now sit in a booth at most restaurants.

Glad someone else asked this question, I was wondering the same after losing 27lb in 6 weeks with no exercise. (5ft 11, starting weight of 245lb).

Also worried my calories were set too low, at 1290, but I am not eating all of those most days (pretty close though), and do not feel hungry at all, so am loathe to up the intake, especially when I am loosing so well, and my High BP seems to be slowly coming down (which is the second reason I started this way of eating).

I am aware this rate of loss will slow down, so am just riding it out while it lasts, and will then re assess.
