whats the Usual?

[Promise]

what is the USUAL lost during the 1st week of Induction? i know Weight Loss Is Not Linear and all... but how much did YOU lose the 1st Week??? especially those of you on Medications, or HRT...

Re: whats the Usual?

i weighed after the 14 days and lost 14 pounds in total, but i had a lot to lose so thats why it was quite high...

5-10% of the amount you want to lose in total is the amount you should lose during induction.

Re: whats the Usual?

so if im trying to lose 62 lbs... i should lose between 3.1 and 6.2 lbs during the whole entire 1st 2 weeks? i think i can do that! i lost 2.5 this 1st week... i was just wondering if i was going too slow... i AM on Meds and HRT, so it will probably be slow, but I WILL DO THIS! Thanks Emma!

Re: whats the Usual?

yep thats about right, though many surpass those percentages, you cant make yourself lose any faster, if youre following the plan and exercising just go with the flow!

Re: whats the Usual?

Different people will lose at different times. Some people don't lose anything at all during induction. We used to have a mod on here that lost nothing during induction, but eventually made it to goal.

There really isnt any rhyme or reason to it all tbh.

Re: whats the Usual?

I lost 17 lbs the first 2 weeks but I had a LOT of weight to lose too.
I agree with the others. Just follow the plan and it'll come off. It really doesn't matter how much you lose during induction... it will all come off eventually!!
LOL of course seeing the big losses is very exciting and motivating!!

Re: whats the Usual?

The first time around it was 12lbs w/ exercise, the second it was 10lbs w/ not so much exercise.
