Re: 30 pounds in a month?????
I know, right? Hubbie lost 27 in his first month. Ugh. Altho, it's about 20% of the total that he needs to lose. I think I lost about the 20% mark, too... So... I guess... it depends on how much you need to lose?
Restart -10/18/2009 - 204.6 lbs (UGH!!!)
Goal 1 - under 200 - met 10/19/2009
Goal 2 - 190 - met 10/25/2009
Goal 3 - 180
Goal 4 - 170
Goal 5 - 160
Goal 6 - 150
Goal 7 - 140
Goal 8 - 135
Goal - To zip up current pants without sucking it in-10/25/09
Goal - To need a belt/roll waistband of current pants
Goal - To wear the next size down - 11/13/09
Goal - To wear the next size down - without a muffin top!! 11/18/09

JT is also 22, so that helps him out a lot as well. (I sure wish I'd been smart enough to get fit when I was 22!).Grant

Re: 30 pounds in a month?????
I lost 15 lbs in my first 2 weeks and another 15 in the second 2 weeks...after that I was hooked on Atkins for life
Of course that's when people started chiming in about how unhealthy Atkins is because 30 lbs in a month is too much weight to lose...if only they could see me now rofl

Re: 30 pounds in a month?????
It took me 2 months to lose 30 pounds....depends on how much you have to lose...however, this is not a race and you cannot compare yourself to anyone else as far as losses go. This is an individual journey and some people are metabolically resistant and it takes far longer to lose weight...the main issue is reaching goal, not how fast you can reach goal.Christa
An excuse is just a way to justify what we wanted to do anyway....so, what's your excuse?

Re: 30 pounds in a month?????
I lost 38lbs my first month---it took me an entire month to get my metabolism up enough for me to lose anything! The first week and a half that I finally started to lose, I dropped 22lbs, then the other 16lbs came off over the 2 and a half week period. After that month, I consistently lost at least 20lbs a month for 6 months straight. It can be done, with hard work---best of luck to ya!
