Question

So, I've been on WW for a little over a month and I've lost 7 pounds so far. I feel like it's going so slow. Is it just me? My mom started at the same time and she's lost over 10.  

Answer 1

Took me two years to lose 30 pounds . I never gave a time frame since I failed twice before when I lost weight much faster but didn’t keep it off. Time three and for 6 years I have kept the weight off.  

Answer 2

First. Never compare your weight loss to someone else because each person is different. They say the average weight loss on ww is . 5 to 2 lbs a week. 7 lbs is amazing. Keep up the good work.  

Answer 3

I’m slow too.  

Answer 4

I am purple and also losing slowly. a bit over 1 lb/week. I’d like to encourage you to keep the big picture in front of you and eat 0 point snacks in between meals. I also drink 8 oz hot water with unfiltered apple cider vinegar with stevia in the afternoon which causes me to be less hungry before and while preparing the evening meal. Hot herbal tea after dinner and air popped corn as a snack if munchies hit after 7:00 pm.  

Answer 5

Everyone's metabolism is different.  

Answer 6

That is awesome

Answer 7

Dont compare u to her. Ur bodies r different. U r doing Wonderful  

Answer 8

I keep telling myself, I didn't gain it all at once. So it will come off a little at a time

Answer 9

Remember everyone loses at a different pace. Your doing great!  

Answer 10

SLOW AND STEADY WINS THE RACE!  

Answer 11

This is a lifetime of eating healthy. A journey not a race. seven pounds is amazing. I only lost 1/2 pound a week Took two years to meet goal. But I am here and happy with my new life.  

Answer 12

Each journey is unique, never compare yourself to others. Aside from the thousands of differences in even you & your mom, your journey is unique to you.  

Answer 13

Everyone is different. I'm a life timer and towards the end, I only lost like 4 oz. a week, but I've kept it off.  

Answer 14

Slow is a good sign. Time will pass and weight loss will increase. Weight gain didn’t happen over night and health weight loss won’t happen over night.  

Answer 15

I started January 2nd. I weighed in this morning and I’m at a loss of 8. 8. So your doing great. Keep up the good work, and yeah it does seem slow but I’d restart loose then gain

Answer 16

Don't compare yourself to others. Everyone's journey is different. I lost very slowly . 2 was my weey average. Got to Limetine in 1986. Worth the slow progress.  

Answer 17

Don’t compare yourself to anyone else!  

Answer 18

I’ve been on it two weeks and lost ⅓ of a pound! Slow and steady wins the race! If you don’t have a lot to lose, the weight will come off slower.  

Answer 19

Does Mom need to lose more weight than you, do you take meds, age makes a difference too. In short, don't compare yourself to anyone else, it'll never work out the way you want it. Just concentrate on you. Slow and steady wins the race.  

Answer 20

That is a wonderful amount. You are doing it!  

Answer 21

Don’t judge yourself to someone else. I’ve only lost 5. 5 since the first. it will come don’t give up!  

Answer 22

I think it great! I only lose one pound a week!  

Answer 23

My first month was slow, but last week I lost 4. 6 so stay with it

Answer 24

I'm proud of you.  

Answer 25

That's a good amount in my opinion.  

Answer 26

Everyone is different drink lots of water

Answer 27

Everyone is different

Answer 28

Don't make it into a race. Everyone has their own pace. 1-2 lbs is normal so you are right on.  

Answer 29

You are right on track!  

Answer 30

Awesome job! I bet you feel great too!  

Answer 31

Everyone is different, if it is going down your doing it right

Answer 32

I'd be thrilled with 7lbs! I began on January 11th and I've only lost 3. 6lbs

Answer 33

Don't get discouraged. I started in February 2019 and I've only lost 20 lbs. I know that I don't follow the plan like I should. I stopped tracking and that's when my weight started to go up and down. Last week I started tracking again ( and still didn't follow the plan like I should), but I started losing again.  

Answer 34

Your journey is yours - no comparing. Learn what you need to make this a lifestyle change!  

Answer 35

1-2 lbs a week is normal and how WW set up the plans. Any more than that and your body could start working against you. That’s what I was told.  

Answer 36

Everyone is different but 1-2 lbs per week is excellent. Even at only 1 pound lost each week, by this time next year you will have lost 50 lbs

Answer 37

Try a egg fast

Answer 38

I am in the same boat. But I am ok with it. My doctor told me 5 pounds a month is a reasonable goal.  

Answer 39

Each journey is unique
