Average weight loss on the Beach?

sandsbrat · 09-28-2005, 12:26 PM

I was curious to those of you that have been on the South Beach for a while how much was your average weight loss lets say for a month? Especially the first month or 2? Yes looking for some motivation and trying to figure out if I will be looking good for the holidays or not!!???

I was very pleased with my weight loss the first year on SBD. The first month I lost about 22 pounds and thereafter I was losing between 1-3 pounds per week for a long time then it slowed down to 1/2 pound to 1.5 pounds per week. It wasn't until I hit my one year anniversary that the weight loss slowed considerably. This is a great program and you can see some really good results. Of course, if you look at my stats, you'll see I was very obese so the weight just seemed to melt from me almost effortlessly in the first few months. I wish you much success with the program!

I first started SB January 17, 2004 and by June 11, 2004 I had lost 48 pounds. I don't think I cheated at all until Easter that year. After that, I wasn't as good on the weekends.
