    I havent loss anything...very disaapointing. I have been reading that a few people who have lost a lot in the first week say its water loss...I'm on high blood pressure meds that rids my body of excess water..maybe why I didnt loose.. :huh: I had a few bumps in the road, but stuck to my exercise. Praying the next week looks better.

    14 lbs and I've not finished a week. I know reality is going to hit and it is going to slow down, I set my goal at 2 lbs a week and will be happy even when it slows to that.

    When I first started, I was weighing myself every morning and for the first week or so I was losing a pound a day! Obviously that slowed down then, but it gave me a great initial boost :)

    In my first week I lost 6 lbs. Now I am losing about 1.0 to 1.5 # per week. I wish it were more but I know this is the healthy way to lose it and keep it off!

    8lbs first week (which will have been mostly glycogen and water)
    3lbs second week

    Last year I was lighter and losing around 1lb a week, which is my aim after these first few weeks are done.

    I lost 8 lbs the first week without exercise. Then a week with nothing and this week added exercise and am down another pound. I was really getting frustrated. Yesterday I reminded myself that my goal was to loose 5 lbs this month! I'm doing great!!!!

    My first weigh in today - I lost 2lbs. I'm really pleased with that. I'd give myself 8 out of 10 for effort, so this week I'll make at least 9 out of 10.

    I lost 1.4 pounds the first week. Just as a side note, my trainer says it is good/healthy to lose about 2 pounds/week. :smile:

    6lb in the first 5 days, because my weigh in days didn't quite match up to when I started! (Nope, I don't know why I didn't just change the day either since I'm doing this at home)

    Since the first Sunday of January I have lost 4lbs. Not too bad considering for the first two weeks I didn't really change much. This week I've tracked and exercised so come Sunday I'm hoping for a loss.

    I lost 15.8 pounds in 11 days. But I have been working out more than I have ever worked out, and drinking more water than I have ever drank before, and eating healthier than ever before.
    I am certain half of that was water weight though.
    but yay for the 15.8 pounds!
    Already lost 3 inches on my hips!

    I also take blood pressure meds and you're right that that can keep you from seeing the water weight results that most people report.

    As to what water weight is-- it means that your body is retaining water (from excess sodium, not drinking enough water, or other various reasons) and that the weight you lose (or gain) isn't fat. So that weight can come and go, and often does, but doesn't affect your body fat percentage.

    I remember I lost 6 lbs the first week. Probably mostly water weight.

    Same here... I lost 1.6 lbs the second week so we'll see what happens this week!
