Hi,

I feel like my body works sooooo slowly...
Wondering what’s normal.
If you were ever on a diet..how much weight did you loose per week? (You can also include your starting weight and ending weight , and how long it took to get from start to end)
Thanks!!

approx 2 lbs per week.. and then would gain a bit back over shabbos.. so turned out to be more like 1 or 1.5 per week..very slow but I have pcos so that makes it harder

When I diet by cutting out all added sugar, eat very minimal refined carbs like pasta bread crackers etc-focus mainly on proteins, fruits, veggies AND I do lots of exercise daily (not just easy treadmill. Real hard core HIIT type exercises) then I lose weight steadily, but slowly. About 1/3 to 1/2 a pound per week.
I should add that im only 5"1, and dont have tons of extra body fat to lose, more just like postpartum baby fat type. So my body will not burn off the pounds as quickly as a taller larger person, thats just how it works.

I should also add that once ive lost all the weight I wanted (about 10-15 lb) then I go back to regular eating and light exercise, and the weight stays off.

This is all so validating. I’m working so hard now to lose weight. I had a total of 35 lbs to lose. I’m down to 27 more lbs. the first week like 4 lbs and then .5-1 lb a week. So sloowwww. But it’s the real way and no diets that lose more than that are sustainable or proven to stay off.

1 pound a week
Stay positive. Losing slowly is more effective for long term. It means you're learning a new way to eat instead of killing your metabolism.

Agreed. List over 100#. Started 5 + years ago. Could Lose more but 98% regain and I’m not. I’ll take it.
