Week 4... on average how much has everyone been losing per week after week 1?

End of week 4 tomorrow and I've only lost 1lb... Which will bring my 1st month total to almost 16lbs lost. I just want to get an idea of what most people lose from week to week. Thanks!

I know I didn't exercise the way I have been this week & 16lbs this month is great!

Congrats on 16 pounds!! On average, I lose about 2/2.5 lbs a week. But, there are definitely fluctuations...sometimes 1 lb, sometimes 4. The important thing to remember is a loss is a loss

I'm the same, it fluctuates. In fact, it seems to go every other week for me. I lose 1, then 3, then .5, then 3.5, etc. I had one week I didn't lose any and I was really freaked out, but I lost 4 pounds the next week, so it evened out. Also, watch your water weight, because with it being hot out, you probably need more water to flush out your system. I gained water weight a couple of weeks ago when I was drinking the same amount as I always did. I finally figured out I was sweating a lot more than usual because of the crazy heat. Increasing my water intake helped me to lose it again.
