Ladies that are losing 2lbs/week, what is your secret?

I would like to know the secret also

In some cases, depending on their settings, you can view their food log.

i'm loosing between 2-3lbs per week just from eating healthier and exercising every day.

I'm not that large, so losing two pounds a week (when I'm lucky and motivated) involves working my *kitten* off to run a large calorie deficit. I guess there's no secret involved.

I tend to lose about 2 pounds per week. You can view my diary, it is open. I eat a light but protein heavy breakfast which keeps me full til lunch time. I try to keep my lunch and supper around 500-600 calories each. I've been doing it for 4 months now and its become pretty darn easy. I've lost 44 pounds so far, but I also had a lot to lose. I suspect it will slow a little the closer I get to my goal. I do work out 5-6 times a day for 1 hour, typically burning 400-700 calories during my workout.

cutting carbs and processed foods and most sugars (still having some fruit)... working out 5 days a week, at least an hour each day...

Well, I'm losing about 2 lbs a week continuously. I did some research on "negative calorie foods" and loaded up the week day diet. Things like apples, broccoli, spinach, etc. I usually make a salad for lunch with fat free dressing, sunflower kernels and some type of protein (staying away from any fish because I'm new to the office and don't want to be the stinky lunch girl) or a stir fry with cabbage, onions, green peppers and meat, and yogurt, fat free cottage cheese, apple pears/tangerines/bananas or some type of fruit, and I eat breakfast around 9:30--either sugar free or lower sugar oatmeal or cream of wheat. I'm really big on the Special K cereal bars too. A lot of the foods I eat are what I consider volume foods (love to eat and that doesn't go away). Large portions, low calories!

I think the key to the success I'm having is my workout routine. I get up in the mornings at 4:00 and start working out on the elliptical around 4:30/5:00 and I don't stop until I've reached 60 minutes. I get about 2 hours of exercise on weekends too. On the weekends, I usually stick with egg whites and laughing cow cheese for breakfast and then what ever we are doing for lunch and dinner---but I keep it simple and snack on popcorn.

Today I noticed--my jacket will button, my necklace is too long, and I'm standing and sitting straight in my chair.

Eat 1200-1400.
Plan my meals the day before.
workout daily (doesn't have to be super intense on a daily basis.)
I am to burn around 200-400 calories a day with exercising (700 on good days!)
HIGH protein/fiber, low carbs- keeps me sooo much fuller!
no more processed crap- only eat fresh veggies/lean meats/etc.

It's really hard to get into a consistent schedule.. but once you get used to it, it's not as hard as you think
If you mess up a day or two don't let it ruin your whole week.. remember each day is a clean slate! Good luck!

I eat 1200 calories a day, and try to workout 3-4 days a week, about 200 calories, and eat most of those burned calories back. I only weigh myself in 5 day periods, or else it just throws me down. hope that helps someone

Another thing I forgot to add is that I became a vegetarian about 4 months ago and ever since my weight has been falling off of me...I dont know why but eating no meat has made a huge impact on my weight loss..( not suggesting you dont eat meat just telling you what my life style is )

I've always been a fan of the low-carb diet. I don't subscribe to the intense type of diet, where you have to keep your carbs under 20grams per day the first two weeks and sometimes further on. Right now I'm allowing myself to consume up to 68 grams of net carbs per day, while also trying to keep close to my calorie goal, which is 1350 per day. I just joined MFP last Friday and since then I've lost 4.5 pounds. Its not two pounds per day, but its a consistent 1 pound per day lost. In my opinion, I question the healthy choices of anyone who is losing 2 pounds per day. I mean, One pound per day is a lot. A lot of people on here are striving for 1 pound a week. If you're taking off 2 pounds a day, the chances are they will come back eventually. I know because I've been there before. Remember that intense low-carb diet I mentioned earlier? I did that a few years back and I lost 50 in a very short amount of time. But I didn't stop my bad habits and I didn't change my lifestyle and eventually i started eating sweets and high carb foods again and now here I am once again, starting out at about 55 pounds overweight. So I'm doing my best right now to get the advantages of a "not so intense" low-carb diet and also work on changing my eating behavior and my lifestyle. For those of you who want to lose 2 pounds per day, good luck to you...I hope you succeed and remain healthy. But personally, I just think that's a little too extreme for a normal body to take. Thanx for listening. Have a good day...Dee

I am doing a liquid diet at this point. Started 2/22/12. Down 13 lbs in 13 days. Must be choosing decent cuz I definitely have lots of energy at this point. Staying on it thru Easter Sunday. Will see where I stand weight wise at that point.
