It took me 19 days but I was 300 pounds when I started so it dropped fast. Today is exactly 2 months since I changed my eating habits and I'm down 33 pounds.

I'm at 32 pounds gone in 2 months (I was 300 when I started) and I was/am the same. When I started I was starving for the first 3 days and it slowly started to get better. I use to wake up with my stomach growling but now I'm not hungry until around 1 in the afternoon. I'm going with it but still making sure to eat my…

Thank you all for the replies

I'm losing 4-8 pounds a weeks following the 2 pounds a week goal set on MFP. In 6 weeks I have lost 27.2 pounds and 2 of those weeks I did not lose anything. I am 273 pounds now.

I didn't say that, he was losing weight but increased his calories to an amount which he should still be losing but it stopped. I'm talking about when he increased his calories.

Starvation mode might be the wrong wording for it but your body does store everything you eat as fat when it's being deprived for a period of time. It does not stop storing over night, it takes time to change. So I refer to it as starvation mode but you can call it whatever you want.

I'm honestly new to this life style change as well but my guess would be that eatting so few calories (500-600) daily put your body into starvation mode. It's my understanding that it takes about 4-6 weeks for your body to adjust and come out of it. Your body is losing fat but it's storing extra water to replace the fat…

Thank you all for the replies, gives me peace of mind now. :)

Thank you for the reply. I just can't believe it, it's like my body is getting rid of extra water rather then retaining it and that's never happened to me before.

Thanks for the replies, I lost 10 pounds the first week and 2.5ish the last 2 weeks. It's just so annoying, obviously what I'm doing is working so I just don't understand why people tell you what to do or that what you're doing is wrong. Lol

I donit first thing in the morning after using the bathroom. Then I donit about 30 minutes later and it's always 1.5 pounds lighter. Lol but I still do it this way in case it doesn't go lighter lol

Thank you all for the advice :)

Problem is that I made banana chocolate chip muffins and ate half a muffin lol there went all my sugar and fat for the day lol.

This is a great thread :) I was wondering the same thing and also how long before you start do you tend to start gaining the water fluid? Lol

I'm totally addicted to sugar, I was able to quit smoking after 14 years cold turkey with no issue. I use to smoke pot as well and quit with no issue, quit drinking and partying all the time with no problem. Try to cut out the junk food hundreds of times and have not been able to do it until now. Moms yoi I've only been…

Just recently July 24th I cut back a bit but got serious on the 25th

I'm kind of with you lol I was 286 pounds when I conceived my son and I was 252 when he was born. He is now 3.5 and I hit 300 pounds when I decided I need a life style change and get under 200 pounds. Lol

I've only been doing this life style change for a little over a week and was so please and excited to go from 300.2 to 289.8 in 1 week. I was weighing myself daily and decided to start ever 2 days, which brings me to this morning :( when the aisle said 290.6. I really really wanted to see under 290 on my first week and did…

I found it and that's exactly what I'm doing :) thanks

I had no idea there is a builder on here lol thanks I shall go look for it.

Thanks, I know it's fast at first, I hope it keeps up like this for the next 3 weeks lol my birthday is the 19th and I would love to be in the 250's when I hit another year older lol

Oh my Doctor is amazing, when I first told her I was going to lose weight, she said good, I can't believe how much you put on since you had your son, imagine what you would look like if you did this when he was born. I was about 30 pounds smaller when he was born then I was when I got pregnant lol. She sent me for blood…

My Doctor says I'm perfectly healthy lol.

I don't know why my previous reply is not here now and I don't know why it's been flagged, actually I don't even know what the means lol. I feel much better today, probably because I had a sausage last night. Lol I'm following the app for 2 pounds a week but I'm now down 8 pounds when I weighed myself this morning, on the…

Thank you everyone. I'm not a big soda/pop drinker, maybe once ever few months I will have a can, my problem is coffee and juice. I have 1 coffee a day, thank God I don't use sugar in it lol. I am going to try and increase my fats today and hope that helps. I want to lose 2 pounds a week so I get 1510 calories a day. I sit…

Thank you all for the reply. Yes I have increased my water intake and I have been under but not by much on my fats, except today, I was over on my days today. I honestly think I've been eating 5000-10,000 calories a day so coming down from that to 1500 a day, I am hoping to find something that's low sugar and not many…

Oh and sorry so long :)
