The first week is usually water weight that you 5. 6 lbs the second week and a lb the 3rd week is tremendous

Answer 3

First weeks are mainly water loss. then it’s the nitty gritty fat that needs to be eliminated. it’s very stubborn. need to stick with what you are doing as you are doing a great job and it time

All normal.

It’s the nature of the beast! Our bodies are not microwaves they are conventional ovens. It’s a slow process. Stay inspired.

First two weeks were extraordinary (and not sustainable) and now you are balancing out. Completely normal.

Answer 9

I lost 5 my first week 2 more my second week And nothing in my third week. My next weigh in is Sunday so it’s not just you. Keep up the good work

Answer 10

As far as I’m concerned a loss no matter how slow or small is progress. I think it’s normal to fluctuate. Losing 15lbs in one month is not average, it’s well above average. Just stay the course and continue doing what you’re doing.  

Answer 11

You're doing great. First week is always the best. Just keep on going.  

Answer 12

That's WW for ya.  

Answer 13

You lost over 15 lbs in your first month? Wow! It's only natural that will slow down. Any loss on a weekly basis after the first month is a positive thing. :)

Answer 14

That’s weight loss, always really fast the first week or two. Just remember the scale is going down, regardless of the amount. That’s over 15 lbs! I’d be proud!  

Answer 15

At first you lose a lot of water weight. And usually the third week some people gain and then some people only lose . 1 or whatever you were doing good stay on track

Answer 16

Totally normal. I lost 25 pounds over my first 3 months and it took me another 6 months to lose the next 25. I struggled with the last 5 weeks gaining and losing the same 4 pounds. It’s frustrating but totally normal. Just don’t give up.  

Answer 17

Of course. That's the way it goes. You're doing beautifully.  

Answer 18

Start a new workout you’ll loose it fast!  

Answer 19

I would like to draw attention to the minus sign in front of each of those numbers. This is AMAZING!  

Answer 20

My first week -8. second week -. 2. wish I was you! lol. you are doing great!  

Answer 21

That's like 15 a month? Amazing wtg. your body will adjust!  

Answer 22

Your going to see a decrease in loss the first few weeks is predominantly water and now your body is adjusting to its new normal. Stuck with it and you will see variations every week

Answer 23

That’s how it goes. It’s not Biggest Loser, you won’t lose every week like your first.  

Answer 24

Yes. The closer to goal the slower the loss.  

Answer 25

Looks about right! I had zero weight loss in weeks 3, 4 and 5 and 7, 8, and 9. I think it’s fantastic you’re actually losing each week! You got this.  

Answer 26

Body is taking a rest to reset again. Switch something up to restart. Eat a larger breakfast, little lunch or little dinner or Visa versa

Answer 27

That’s how it goes and then you’ll gain and lose and lose again and then gain and then plateau. that’s how weight loss works! Sad but true!  

Answer 28

Your first few weeks we’re out of the norm!  

Answer 29

That's over 16 lbs which is phenomenal. 2 lbs a week is great and you have exceeded thst. Keep going. @yacov

Answer 30

You always lose a lot at first. You are eating so much better food and less junk. Soon, you will have another 2 or more pound loss. I averaged 3 lbs a week for 5 months. But some weeks were just a half pound. Keep at it, it works

Answer 31

In a typically Month I would have a good loss one week then a lesser the next week and smaller amounts or maintained the next week. That was my pattern.  

Answer 32

You're doing great! I'm down 18. 6 in 3 months but had 3 weeks where I gained in there even though I was right on plan.  

Answer 33

That’s how it should be.  

Answer 34

Answer 35

Answer 36

Answer 37

You always lose more in the first few weeks. It’s fluid. Stick to it & you will see it consistently go down.

I feel you lose more the first few weeks because your eating habits have dramatically changed

Drink lots of water! That’s what always helps me.

Answer 52

You should be decreasing your loss. You should only lose an average of 2 pounds per week. It takes time to put on weight; it also takes time to take it off.
