well..i'm must starting back this month and i think i lost about 4 pounds. Looking back over my weightloss journals for the past two years (i diet and worked out for about 6 months each year, then kindof maintained) but i lost about 5 pounds a month. When i first start an excersize routine, i only lost about 2 pounds, but then it leveled out and i lost about 5 pounds a month. So, i lost about 30 pounds in 6 months time. I'm hoping to do that again. Hoping that come June, I'll be back to 134 and by july to the 120's. That's my goal.
I average between 1-2 lbs per week with out exercise. Only because I sprained both my knees. I'm almost better though, so I plan to hit the gym by next week. Hopefully that number will get higher then.
i try to lose about 2-4 pounds a week. If you lose anymore then that, your skin doesn't keep up with the weight loss. My friend lost on average, and unhealthy way, 8-9 pounds a week and her skin was lose and even though the scale was less, she looked more saggy. She has since regained the weight and started to lose it in a healthy way, and she looks fantastic once again!
i'm still in my first month since starting calorie counting and buying a scale, and i'm really anxious to see. i lost 16 lbs in just over 2 months after i started on metformin (for pcos) and ramped up my running from 2 to 3+ miles. that was awesome and a HUGE surprise when i finally bought a scale at the beginning of the month. it gave me the motivation to actually get serious about this, since i'd never been able to lose weight in the past. but i doubt that sort of change would ever happen again. i think it was just the metformin kicking my metabolism into shape because i hadn't even really changed my diet much at that point. fewer bagels and less pizza, but not any huge change like i'm trying now. fingers crossed...
I want to lose on average 11.25 pounds a month which is about 2.8 pounds a week. For my goal for Oct. 10, 90 pounds lost (I'm a bridesmaid in my sisters wedding that day).
