    I lost about 7 pounds the first month, i am now two weeks into my second month and lost an additional 3. I am down to my last 13 pounds to lose. I would imagine that people that have more to lose, lose more the first month then I did.

    When I first found MFP I logged in at 250 lbs without stepping on a scale. It was an estimate.

    That was Dec 2010.

    I was diagnosed with High Blood pressure near the end of March 2011. At that Doctor's visit I weighed 272 lbs.

    It was at that point that I started to take things seriously!

    I am not certain about the exact figure for my first month's loss but I know that from the time I "started" through the end of last year I was shedding the anticipated 1 - 2 lbs per week, almost every week. And, a couple of weeks during the summer months I dropped 5 lbs in a week.

    So for the first month, I would say that I lost about 8 lbs.

    I checked the scale last weekend and it read 186 lbs. It has been stuck there for a few weeks now. My target is 180 lbs.

    Best of luck on your journey!

    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! :)

    I have been on a 1200 calorie diet for close to 3 weeks now. I go to the gym 5 times a week and eat healthy, still haven't lost any weight well OK 1 pound! My husband keeps telling me to do this and I just find it so difficult to eat every 3 hours! How do you do it? Do you split your meals into smaller portions? Can you eat 3 meals a day and eat like an apple or a serving of almonds? I'm just so frustrated I'm giving this all Ive got and I see no results!

    Back in 2010, at my highest weight of 222 I lost 20 lbs the first month. That was only from changing my eating habits. Cutting down portion sizes and making healthier choices. I didn't do any exercise at all in the 1st month.
