I am curious if you have the number handy, post in a reply your exact

- 1st week loss in pounds
- 2nd week loss in pounds

I am curious to see how much of a reduction in the rate of weight loss that most people are seeing from the first full week to the second full week on the Ideal Protein Diet.

For me I lost

- 8.0 pounds in week 1
- 5.0 pounds in week 2

Keep in mind that the first week is mostly water weight... but here are my losses

Week 1 : 6 Ibs
Week 2 : 6 Ibs

Total in 5 weeks : 21

Good luck to you !!

I lost more my second week which also happens to be my highest weight loss week on the plan.

Week 1 : 4.6 Ibs
Week 2 : 6.2 Ibs

It's in my siggy!

Let's see...

Week 1: 6.6 lbs
Week 2: 2.8 lbs

Not huge but it's all headed in the right direction!!!

Week 1 : 5lbs
Week 2: 1lb

pretty depressing... hoping week 3 WI tomorrow has better results...

However I have lost almost 10 inches ! So thats good

What is depressing about losing 6 lbs in 2 weeks?
That is 3/week!
It is 6 lbs not on you anymore!

Everyone is different. We all have our own rate of weight loss. Some of us are 100% on plan and some of us don't follow it exactly, which can also make a difference.

For me:
Week 1: 8.2
Week 2: 1

Mine is in my signature also!

The second WI I had just started TOM.. so I am hoping tomorrow is better... my cloths are WAY looser this week, however my scale doesn't show much improvement (again). Plus my WI is in the afternoon.. I usually WI in the AM before I eat and drink... oh well... I am pretty sure the measurements will show my sticking to the plan!

Happy Wednesday all!

Mine was
week 1- 5.8
week 2- 3.0

First week = 3.8lbs
Second week= 8.1 lbs

coach says i wasn't in ketosis in that first week..whose to know for certain.
been losing approx. 0.8- 3.2lbs /week since....

Week one: 4.8
Week two: 3.2

Starting Phase 4 Sunday!

I would contend that those who lose a lot of weight their first couple weeks lost mostly water weight or food just consumed (still digesting). For that reason, even tho I saw 192 on the scale when I started I knew my realistic starting weight was 190 (the day before had been the end of an anniversary weekend with lots of bad food).

I think we do more damage overemphasizing the first couple weeks and that makes us lose track of the fact that 2 lbs a week is dang good for a diet that has no increased calorie demands etc.

For me:

Week 1 - 14 lb exactly
Week 2 - 4 lb exactly

I hold the record I was told for my clinic for 1st week. lol

Restart:
Week 1: -8
Week 2: -3

2010:
Week 1: -7.4
Week 2: -5.8
