LA Weight Loss - Pounds per week

Ok, what are you all averaging per week for weight loss? last week was my first week on a diet and my scale shows i lost 6 pounds. do y'all think that's possible?

do you think it's possible to lose that much or do you think there's something worng with my scale?

Of course it's possible. Weightloss depends on lots of things: how much you need to lose, age, medical conditions, drugs, your activity level, whether you have been dieting before, time of the month, stress levels, ....you name it. I loss of 2 pounds a week is average when starting out.

I'm averaging 2.26315789lbs a week.

You can definitely lose 6 lbs your first week - much of it will be water weight. But, it still counts ;)

I averaged 1.71 lbs. per week. So, do it NOW - don't wait until you are an old chickie like me :yes:

Fast losses are common, especially if you change your diet from carb heavy to protein heavy. It's a nice boost, but don't be disappointed if next week is a small loss, or some people even find they'll have a small gain.

Even with messing around the last 5 months or so I've averaged 1.48 pounds per week. Of course it means more when I say that it's for the last 78 weeks. :)

I've lost an average of 3.32 lbs a week over my 8+ month journey so far.

I have averaged 1.75 lbs per week (hey, that's pretty good!). I also lost very quickly at first (14 lbs in the first 4 weeks) and then leveled off to a very respectable 1.5-2 lbs most weeks.

You're doing great! Don't stop!

Peace, Heather

When I'm actually actively watching what I eat and exercising I can drop 2-3 lbs. But lately with my stress eating I've been doing horribly and consider it a blessing to not gain.
