    A pound in a week is fine...that makes it a year to get to your goal!

    1lb a week is really good..should not be anything more than that, really.

    A pound is fine! And you're right to be looking for friends, it does seem to help the process from what I've seen around here! I'm new too, only 6 days. I'll add you :smile:
  • Make sure you are weighing yourself at the same exact time everyday (first thing when you get up is best) people can fluctuate up to 5 lbs depending on water and food intake. In the morning your body is empty. Also when you first start a program if there is any resistance or weight lifting involved you might gain a few right in the beginning. If you are weight lifting pay more attention to inches than weight as muscle ways a lot more than fat. Remember..it takes 3,500 more calories burned than consumed to lose 1 pound. Just be patient. And it is healthy to only lose 1 pound a week. Also make sure you are weighing yourself not only first thing in the morning but either in your underwear or completely naked to lose the chance of clothes weight. If you have anymore questions please feel free to message me.
