    As long as you're sure that you're not losing muscle, then keep it up.


    I'm not losing muscle I work my *kitten* off (literally lately actually I wish my *kitten* would puff up and just work my stomach off... lol)

    I lost 30 lbs in 4 months. But I guess that isn't that fast.

    I'd love to lose it at that rate, what was your plan set out like? :)

    Everyone's body reacts differently as you change your lifestyle. I've been doing well on my journey. As others have said, just ensure you are eating healthily. And most importantly, it is not a diet, it is a new lifestyle. if you go back to the "old" way of living, then you did all this for nothing.

    Start date: Jan 24 2012
    Start weight: 260
    Current weight: 201.6
    Short term goal: 200
    Maintenance goal: 180s

    I have no desire to go back to my old lifestyle although I still do call this my "diet" and I will as long as I live diet isn't a bad word to me. I let myself have what I want every once in a while (like once every other week or so) and I am perfectly content like that moderation!

    I'm 15 weeks in and down 38 - but the first month was 3.5+ pounds per week, it's slowed down to around 2 per week now - and I plan on slowing down more when I get 10-15 away from my weight as I want to work into it gradually to make sure I stay there.

    In the first two weeks I lost 20 pounds.. then the third week gained back two pounds... fourth week lost those two pounds. This is week 5, I'm hoping that I continue to drop pounds.

    19 weeks and 54 lbs. I change my sedentry lifestyle to a very active lifestyle with better eating choices. Body does react. However the loss is slowing down now that I am lighter.

    I lost my first 100lb in 100 days, helped a lot by losing 24lb in the first two weeks. Things are slowing down a bit now, mainly to do with my BMR dropping by over 1,500 calories/day.

    You are doing a good job keep it up.

    I lost over 100 pounds over a 4 year period. I started off fast, however once I got to 50, and 75, and 100, it got harder and harder. Slower and slower.

    Thankfully I was in a christian program called First Place 4 Health. The encouragement I received along with tracking my food, learning the whys behind my emotional eating, and changing my perspective is what helped me stay the course.

    I've lost 40-50 pound before fast and always gained it back. I found that losing it slow, helped my body absorb the skin (I have much less hanging skin than most) and helped me develop maintenance habits along the way.

    I've done fast and furious before, however always ended up gaining it back. I am now at goal for 2 years in July. It is a battle every day. I am thankful for my First Place 4 Health group and MyFitnesspal. Most importantly, I am thankful to be keeping it off for a higher power, my Lord. He created me and I recognize he wants me to be healthy.

    Blessings to you on your journey. You can do it.

    When you have a lot of weight to lose it will come quickly in the beginning. I lost 23 pounds the first two weeks, and 43 pounds the first month. It does slow down a lot after those initial drops, but should be pretty consistent as long as you maintain a deficit. I was able to lose consistently every week or 9 months before I hit my first plateau. As far as loose skin goes, I have a little around my middle. I'm still working on getting leaner so that should help get rid of the skin, but check out my results thread for photos I've linked below.

    I know I'm going to get a lot of people telling me this is unhealthy etc etc. But, I am not on a crash diet, I've gone from 356 in February to 300.0 yesterday (30 of it this past month). I have lost 30 pounds in the past 32 days and just curious if there are any other people losing weight fast on here also? Or if anyone has lost a lot of weight quickly?

    Just keep going. I don't think it unusual to lose fast at first. See this blog post from me and know that I am no expert. http://www.myfitnesspal.com/blog/Kreacher12/view/weight-and-losing-weight-fast-261698

    Congrats on being able to give up that soda... I swear it needs to be outlawed and is half the problem with why we are gaining to much weight.. I had giving it up. Week one I lost nothing then over the next three weeks I lost 10lbs that was the only change to my diet I had made. Then I started drinking it again and couldn't believe how fast I put that 10 lbs back on.

    I've lost about 65 lbs since about mid January, so in just about 4 months. I think 10 of that was water weight though.

    Oh yeah, I started at about 359 and am now 294. :)

    I lost 8kg/17lbs my first month. I started at 137kg/301lb. I had some 'helpful' person PM me to tell me I was losing too fast and would gain it all back. I cried all night. As you can see from my ticker (started ten months ago) I haven't gained it back. The person who said that weighed 140lbs and wanted to lose 5lb. *rolls eyes*

    No it's not too fast. Just be aware that it will slow down the smaller you get (I'm currently experiencing that and it's driving me up the wall :-)

    lost 82 pounds in 140 days... so yeah, fast. Can't explain it. I am not crash dieting - eating about 1,500 calories per day.
