1lb per week is a perfectly decent rate of loss, what were you expecting to lose?
Also worth noting weight loss isn't linear, it can be easily masked to start with by water retention.

Congratulations!! That's awesome. Way to go!0

I would imagine a lot of people loose a single lb in the 1st week .... some people lose less, some even gain, some lose more.
out of interest, how quickly did you put the weight on ... was it at a rate of 6lbs a week ? .. or was it more like 0.1lbs a week for 7 years ?1 -
Thank you ...I’m not quitting!! Must keep going and tell myself it’s NOT a race!0

One pound is great! That's 3,500 calories under budget that week!1

One lb per week is kind of perfect! What were you expecting?
For most of us, weight loss is a long term proposition, and then maintenance is forever
Read the sticky posts at the top of each of the boards - there's lots of great info there.2 -

One pound per week is a realistic rate of loss...Your expectations are skewed.
