This upcoming Monday will make 1 month since I started using MFP. In excited to step on the scale that day and see how far I've come in one month. I started out at 222.2 lbs. I am just under 5'8. My goal weight is 150. Tell me about your one month successes!

Started @ 198, and hit 188 today. Took 1 week to drop 8 pounds, 5 more for the next 2 pounds. I have not hit the exercise tough yet due to scheduling constraints, but that should change in the next couple of weeks. Goal is 165 pounds hopefully by September.0

Your situation sounds like mine about 16 years ago (was in my early 30's). I was at 215. Was down to 185, one month later by cutting down calories (900-1100) & fat grams (1.5g) severely . I probably ate one or two meals a day of vegetables, and a can of soup during work hours (graveyard). Another month later, I was close to my goal of 160. I've kept close to that number since then.
You have to have a desire to want to reach your goal, then when getting there, be mindful that you don't want to ever have to do it again.0 -
Ive lost about 5 punds per month as well. And from what ive been told by the fitness experts on here, thats pretty darn good.0

I have been on "diet" for 10 weeks now and have dropped 32.5 lbs and 22 inches. The key is to eating every 2-3 hours, and drinking a minimum of 8 glasses of water/day. I just joined this website today to help me stay on track since I got a little distracted last week. I'm here if anyone needs any support!0

I have lost 14 pounds this first month. My ticker only says 7. But from my initial entry, I had gotten up to 186. Since logging every day for a month (I hit 1 month yeaterday) I am now down to 172. I am more addicted to the mfp app than any of the games on my phone. My first goal weight is 159. My ultimate goal weight is 147.0

I have lost 5 lb my first month. I do exercise so the loss is not that big because I also gain the muscle weight. I have lost 9 lb since I started on March 22nd. I am very happy with that. I go over my calories pretty much every weekend but that helps me stay on track. If I make some drastic limitations and deny myself the things that I like to eat (or drink) I will not be able to stick to MFP. So to keep me going I cheat a little bit. But I enter every single calory and every little bite I take. Good luck. You are doing awesome.0

Down 13.8 pounds in the first month.
Less food, more exercise. It's like magic...0 -
20 lbs the first month, but that's probably only because I was pretty big to start with0

I lost about 6lbs, with a start of 1800

Lost about 25 lbs the first month. I started at 312. Been losing steadily about 2 per week since then. I keep looking for it to slow down, but so far, so good. Lost 76 since Nov. 22, 2011.
Endeavor to persevere.0 -
I lost 1 lb every 4 days for the first few months. So just over 7 lbs in the first month. I only had 40-45 to lose in the first place, so any faster would not have been a healthy rate of weightloss for me personally.0

i started at 263 lost 12 pounds my first month. Now that im 180s its much slower though, but thats ok with me0

About 20 lbs in the first month. It's a tiny precentage of the total. However, If I can even keep up 1/2 that pace, I'll be excited.0

10lbs the first month, if only they could all be like that.0

Although my profile/ticker doesn't reflect it. I started on April 6th. As of today May 9th I have lost about 16 pounds.0
