Week 1 down and lost 6lbs. But gutted to be honest. Reading everyone's weight loss on here and I was hoping for more

I haven't been to the toilet for a few days so I blaming that!

See how week 2 goes

Six pounds is a lot for someone who started out at just 154 lbs! If you worked out your loss as a percentage of your overweight pounds (pounds you are over a BMI of 25 or another comparison BMI if yours is less than that) and compared that to other peoples losses it would be a better comparison.

I started the week at 195 lbs - so 41 lbs above my BMI 25 weight. A six pound loss for me would be 14.6% of that. Someone of the same height that started out at 250 lbs would need to lose 14 lbs to hit the same percentage. Just using my info as I don't know your height!

You did fab getting through the first week! All the best for week 2!

Don't be disheartened

I have never lost more than 4 pounds a week - despite staying 100% TS

Everyone has a different metabolism

I have significantly more weight to lose than you and still don't lose at anything like the rate some others do

A loss is a loss in my book - so let's stick at this thing together

You shouldnt be gutted with 6lbs thats a great loss for someone of your weight.
My target weight is higher than what your current weight is so if I were you I'd be over the moon with 6lbs.
The hardest week is out of the way and just picture yourself 3 more weeks down the line when the first month is over and I bet you have fab losses between now and then.
Good luck

Thanks guys!!

The percentage things do make sense. I'm 5.5 height, so will work out my percentage now!! I don't have loads to lose but I want too so I can tone up and generally be a lot healthier than I current am!! Can't even walk up the stairs without feeling breathless!!

Been 100% this week ad will continue until I hit my target! Yes I want food but not as much as I Wana be skinny and fit!! X

I agree that a loss is a loss, I too am going to be a slow loser and hope that one week I will get a great big whoosh surprise. I figure that an average of 3lbs a week is about a stone a calendar month, of which we cant complain.
It is well worth it though to get on the scales and know that you have been very good all week.
