    I'm still in my first month. Day 19 and 3 lbs lost so far. I changed that I log food daily, make weekly meal plans instead of going from day to day and try to make most of my meals from scratch. Upped my veggie and fruit intake and stopped eating white bread. Haven't changed my exercise by much, but do try to be active at least 4 times a week.

    Ate less, moved more and hit 12lbs in the first month. I expect that 4-6lbs of this were initial water and glycogen lost though.

    I lost about 13 lbs my first month but I went from eating out all the time, fast food, sodas, hardly working out, etc. To eating 100% healthy, cutting out all sugary drinks and working out on a daily basis. After that initial month it slowed down to the typical 1-2 lbs per week

    I just had to revamp my diet, and am 10 days in now. I'm at 8 lbs lost. However I'm about 2 lbs from my usual stuck zone, so it will probably plateau for a couple weeks once I hit that mark.

    The first month I lost 22.2 pounds. I was 340 pounds at 6'5". That was all calorie deficit, no exercise. I lost a total of 155 pounds in 8.5 months.

    That's 18 pounds a month, what were you doing?

    4 pounds. Started at 222, ending now at 218. But I have a lot of muscle and I can see the muscles coming in under the fat, so I think the muscle is holding on to water because it isn't used to working out. I've lost several inches in that month, though.

    I set my weight loss at a pound a week and when all the monthly weight fluctuations were said and done, I lost a little more than four pounds in four weeks. Works for me. :)

    How? Meticulously weighed, verified calorie counts, and logged daily caloric intake. Still struggling to fall within 50-100 calories of my BMR set daily goal, but hey; I'm not eating 3-6K calories a day, every day, like I was before so it is paying off. Zero change in activity level, which was/still is effectively zero.
