Just wondering what peoples best weeks were? We've all watched the Biggest Loser and they pull some huuuge numbers, I wonder if any of us mere mortals have rivalled them?

    Huge fan of BL :) Haven't quite got numbers like the contestants. But I've lost up to 5lbs the first week of following a nutrition & fitness plan. If you used to eat a lot of processed foods and the following week you don't, the weight loss could be from the decrease in sodium and water weight.

    I think thats what happened in my first week following eating horribly over the festive period!! I will be happy with 1-2lbs a week as long as its coming off. There are some very impressive weightloss numbers on this site though, its inspirational.

    I lost 8 pounds in the first week of weight loss, but then was when I was super eager to start and working out in every spare second, and I'm guessing a lot of it was water weight too.

    I lost 8 lbs in my first week too. But like the others, I'm sure it was mostly water weight. But I'm happy with that!

    In my entire life of dieting most I ever lost in 1 week was 15lbs. But I was doing it insanely unhealthily, about 500 calories a day :P

    I lost ten pounds one time when I gave up sugar. Kept it off for a whole year, too.

    5 lbs for each of the first three weeks. I don't eat a lot of processed foods so I am not sure if it was water and sodium or not. I am averaging around 3 lbs a week. Even with taking Christmas off.

    I think my record stands at 10lbs, probably was mostly water but I also lost around 2% body fat... the thing is when you're really heavy you burn off so many calories simply by existing! As long as you don't eat that much & you have no medical conditions that hinder weight loss you'll loose weight like nobody's business

    The closest I have came to losing as much weight in one week was the day I lost ten pounds in just one day! I had a baby. Ha! Typically speaking the most I have lost in a week is 4 pounds. That was the highest amount. Typically it is between 1-2 lbs if I stick to my calorie and exercise goals...
