in Health and Weight Loss
I started about 2 weeks ago and have lost 1.5lbs. I know I could gain it back in a nanosecond if I am not careful. Patience is not won of my strengths and it seems like forever until I lose the 30 lbs. I need to lose. If I could just lose 10 lbs. I would feel like I am on my way, so was wondering how long it took some of you to lose that amount of weight. I want to be realistic.

    I didn't lose anything at all for my first 10 days. Then I started losing 1 kg/week.

    I lost the first 13 pounds in a month, 42 pounds in 21 weeks. Then it slowed to a half pound weekly.

    My wife's loss was the opposite a half pound weekly, at most for 3 months. Hers speed up the last 20 pounds.

    This is a YMMV.

    Just under 10 weeks. Right on schedule with my 1lb per week goal :smile: 10 pounds of 30 would put you at 33% of to goal - that's more than just on your way! Patience, grasshopper.

    Been trying to lose my last 10# for 6 months with zero progress. But Maintaining is far better than going the other way.

    It took me 51 days for the first 10 pounds. After that it got even slower. Now that I'm close to goal it's taking around 3 weeks to lose 1/2 pound.

    1.5 lbs in 2 weeks is good. You are losing 0.75 lbs week. That has your pace of 10 lbs in less then 2 months

    It took me about 2 months to lose the first 10, and my goal is to lose 40. It feels slow, but in retrospect, 2 months of my life is miniscule. Just hang in there, and that first 10 will be gone before you know it :)

    It took me three months, during which I started strength training 2x a week, so put on a little muscle, but became much smaller.

    2 months. I lost 5 lb/month for Jan and Feb, and it's slowed down since then. My total weight loss goal is about 20 lb, and my goal is to get there by the end of May.

    I hit 10.8 pounds at weigh in today. It's my 14th week at 1300 calories. I slipped a few days here and there that slowed me a bit. But now I'm averaging a pound a week.

    Monster metabolism, but when i made my first account during last years summer , around 2 weeks, no exercise no carbs no sugar roughly 1000 cal a day ft 2h hot baths followed by a cold shower at the end (its really nice and boosts ur metabolism if you're into it give it a try)
