One week down lots to go
 

Well today is one week into this diet for me. I started at 186.1 and am down to 183. I know a lot of people who lost more than that their first week. But I lost more then that 1 - 2 pounds a week goal so I feel pretty good. Can someone answer should I have lost more then just 3 pounds the first week?

I don't know what diet you're doing, but 3 lbs a week is great for ANY diet. Losing a ton of weight in a week is not good, or lasting. You're doing an excellent job!! Way to go!!!

Thanks so much. I just think it has to come off fast even though I know it's not going too nor is it healthy to take if off fast. I'm doing LAWL and seems pretty easy to stick with. We gotta keep going!!!!

WTG! 3 pounds is great, even for the first week! Keep it up!

Some people lose a lot the first week because they had a high sodium content in their previous way of eating (and they were retaining a lot of water). You probably didn't, and those 3 pounds you lost are fat, and not water.

You are off to a GREAT start, and NEVER compare your weight loss with others (especially men), it can be discouraging. We all lose at different rates :)

Much luck and much strength :D

Great start! Keep it up.

WTG, 3 lbs. is great. Congratulations.

Awesome start! Sheesh, I was happy over 5 lbs in 2 months! 3 lbs is great! Keep at it.

Thanks for all the words of support. Last night I didn't too well. I'm sure it could've been a lot worse. Our little town has their annual fair. It's called "Dutch Days". I ate a fish sandwich above everything else on my LAWL plan. I jumped on the scale this morning and it's up .8 so I know I gotta stick to the plan. Back to being strict. Gotta get that .8 off. Hope you all have a wonderful day!

I lost only 3 pounds my first week also. I think that is pretty normal and healthy. I don't average the 2 pounds a week that LAWL promises either, but I am happy with the loss.

You're off to a great start! 3lbs is great!:carrot:

Hello to everyone. I hope everyone is doing well and staying on track with their weight loss plans. Today is my official week number 2 weigh in date. I'm down 1.5 pounds this week. Every little bit helps with the countdown. 31 to go!!! Take care and I hope everyone has a good week!

I think I screwed the last reply up. My weight tracker isn't right. It should read 186 to start and now at 181 with 31 to go! I'm so stupid!

Wtg!! I Think Youre Doing Great!! Keep Up The Good Work!!:)

Thanks. Looks like your doing great yourself! Have a wonderful week!
