    I think it depends what your body is used to consuming and what you are giving up and whether you have been a yoyo dieter or a first time dieter. I lost 2 pound this week (1st week) I would have liked to lose more but I'll take what I can get as long as it's downwards!! Good luck with your weight loss

    I lost 11 lbs in my first week but I did have 6 1/2 stone to loose and I get a lot of water retention. But I am averaging out at 3 lbs a week at the moment. A friend of mine has 1 1/2 stone to loose and she is only loosing 1/2 - 1 lb a week even on her first week so it really depends. Keep going.

    I lost 4, and you can tell by my ticker I haven't lost anymore. I've been at it steady for over 3 weeks now, BUT---I went on a girls weekend and might have had a bit too much to drink, 3 nights in a row. :bigsmile:

    I lost 10lbs in my first week, but my body acts weird. I've done nothing besides change my eating habits and cut calories to the 1,200 minimum and I've lost 22 pounds in a month and a half.

    I lost 3 lbs my first week. My goal is to lose 1lb a week. Although, I signed up more than a year ago, I just started using MFP for about a month now. Don't give up!

    I gained five pounds my first week! I know it has to be water, because I am eating according to guidelines and I work out six days a week for 60-90 minutes. My body is just pissed right now, but it will get over it! I am 11 days in and down to only two pounds more than I started. I am hoping it is going to continue going down and I will actually lose some.

    I lost one pound my first week which is my goal. Mine differs from week to week. I think everyone does. Don't be disappointed no matter what the results. I have read where some people actually gain the first week. Like you say, everyone is different. Just keep trying and it will work for you. Good Luck

    i have a lot too lose, because i know i am overweight, so no matter what it is, as along is it goes down, then i'm happy :D once i get closer to my goal weight, as long as i'm sticking to my exercise and healthy eating, then i'll be more relaxed :)
