    Am I the ONLY person who is losing much slower than 1 pound a week? I started in March and have lost 13 pounds. It goes in fits and starts, having weeks and weeks with no change and then a couple of pounds will drop off with little rhyme or reason. I just keep sticking with the program and waiting for the slow but steady change to happen. It can be depressing but I keep reading success stories and know it is possible!

    I lose in spurts then plateau so I will lose 5-10 pounds then nothing for a month or so. I lose inches in the meantime though so make sure you are measuring.

    I just started yesterday, but my journey started 5 days ago. I have lost 8 lbs. so far. I hope I can keep this up because I have a lot to lose.

    I lost 40lbs in 8 months (a little over a 1lb per week) and have maintained that weight for the last 3 months.

    I started at the end of January 2011, and I released 93 lbs. Comes to about 3.3 lbs per week. If I keep this pace up, I'll be at my goal weight in February.
    Everyone is doing a great job, keep it up!!

    released ? hummmmm....

    !!! RELEASED !!!

    I LOVE this term. I released 38 pounds, I released myself of 38 pounds. And I'll play it one more step. I am 38 lbs free!

    Congratulations on your freedom!

    I am also a slow loser since I lost 16 pounds in 9 months so it is only 2 pounds a month. Those last pounds are really hard to move but it's ok since I have all the time in the world :)

    I joined 15 days ago and I have lost 19 lbs. I love this site! Sidenote: I started my diet on June 1st, so I lost most of that weight on my own.

    I've lost 30 lbs since January. At first the weight just fell off of me... now I have to work at it, but that is ok bc I am at a great weight for my height (140 for 5'7")..... not much more (if any) left to lose.

    I have lost 120 pounds in 18 months! I began my journey in January 2010! I have been living through a natural disaster, worst flooding in history, in my town, since the day after Fathers day and spent almost five weeks out of my house! I stayed true to my new lifestyle, even though I was not able to log my food/exercise, and have lost the last 7 of those pounds since the horrible disaster began. I thought about the food I ate, made the right choices, stopped eating when I was full, and continued to do whatever exercise I could do. It is just proof that if you change yourself, and your way of thinking, it becomes a "habit."

    11 pounds in 11 weeks is great. That's a healthy rate. Sometimes if you lose too fast, you just gain it right back. Good work.

    I NEVER thought I would be able to have any success, and now that I have had some- I feel like I can't be stopped!

    Here is my before and after, the first (terrible terrible) pic is from the end of May 2011, and the second is from this morning (Aug 2)

    9 lbs in about 3 weeks? I'm estimating that at least 6 pounds was water weight though.

    3 weeks, 7lbs. Weigh in on Monday and that will be week 4 I think!

    I've lost a total of 57lb from when I first started WW, but put some on, and so now it's a total of 44. But 7 on MFP! :)

    conrats to all on there losses

    I joined MFP in January 2010.

    I have lost 20 kilos (42 pounds). in approx 30 weeks

    the weight fell off quickly in the first 15 weeks, I have since battled through a plateau & the smaller i get, the slower my weight is coming off.

    I am not that concerned, i believe this is normal and i am viewing my weightloss as a lifestyle change.

    i feel healthier, happier & fitter than i have been in a VERY Long time :-)
