Weight loss

I had my surgery 22 days ago and I have lost 23.5 pounds so far. I know it will slow down soon. What was the average amount of weight you lost monthly and at what point did you hit your wall?

I think on average I lost .8 to 2.5 lbs a week with no rhyme or reason ... but basically about 10 lbs a month after the first month and then it took about 6 weeks to lose the last 6 lbs.

I would love to average 10 pounds a month.

Yes, it shall slow but it will still be good fun. My monthly stats are in my ticker. Enjoy the ride!

Search the forums for the phrase "three week stall." That's the point when most people see their loss come to a screeching, albeit temporary, halt.

After the first few weeks, most people who stick to their plan see a slow and steady loss of 1 - 2lb per week.

My weight loss is in my signature.

I was told by my dr that I should expect to lose 3 pounds a week for several months after the 1st month. I felt like weeks 5-6 were my stall. But still averaged almost 3 pounds a week that month. And then averaged 5 the next month.
