is this normal? i've lost 13 pounds in 6 weeks.

so thats roughly two pounds a week right? is that normal? will i keep it off?

Keep going.... I was losing 4 lbs a week and I have kept it off and still losing, Im down 100+ lbs now..... Take it as good....... use this as motivation.... Hope that helps!!

I've lost 20 pounds in 6 weeks. I thought it was weird too. At least I'm not the only one. =) Congrats though.

yeah i think its normal- it might be a little too fast though, but congratulations! keep up the good work!

Goodness what are you all doing can I know? lol!!  Congrats though!

ejoy

yes it is very normal. congrats! you have been losing about 2 pounds per week, which is healthy, and you have actually beeen tking things slow! great job!!!

how many cals are you guys eating? how long are you working out?

2+ lbs per week is fine.  Check and see what weight you want to get to and whether it will put you underweight.

I lost 2+ lbs per week while I was in the obese category.  Now that I'm in the overweight category, I'm down to 1+ lb per week and once I get into the correct weight category I expect it will slow down to about .5 lbs per week until I hit my desired weight (not underweight, I like having curves).

Congrats! keep up the great work ^^

I lost 15 lbs in 5 weeks at the beginning of my diet. I dropped from 186 to 171. In case you're wondering, I ate about 1000 calories a day, biked, did pilates and weight training. But now I've hit a plateau for the past couple weeks, and I'm trying everything to get past it. I personally think it's easy to lose weight rapidly when you start, but once your body adjusts to your lifestyle change, it gets increasingly more difficult. I'm just doing all I can to stay motivated and have faith that I'll start losing weight again. Hopefully you'll keep losing at the same rate though!

i eat 1300 calories and try to get an hour of exercise. i hear what you people are doing and it sounds insane! i dont do half the exercise you do. is that bad? yesterday i walked three miles and went on a leisurely bike ride to my friend's house, and that was it. the other day all i did was weight train for an hour. i never feel pooped afterword, but i'm losing weight, so i guess it's working.

I was told by my nutritionist that as a young woman, it is safe to lose 2 pounds a week, every week.
I only wish that would happen,  I've lost maybe 1 lb a week after the initial drop in weight the first week, but she also told me to eat 1500-2000 calories when I was eating 1200-1500....maybe it will help.

I have lost 14 lbs in 6 weeks.  I eat on average 1750 calories a day and exercise for 30-60 minutes 6 days a week.  My average deficit is 918 calories a day.  I could probably eat a little more, but I feel fine and according to scale, it is mostly body fat I am losing, not muscle.
