Hi all, after a gain last week, I have lost 5 and a half pounds this week! Can't believe it, but am going for the same next week- I CAN DO THIS! Xx

Aw Lisa-H - its a horrible feeling but do yourself a favour - have a long soak in the bath and take your book in with you, and any magazines you have from the last couple of months, keep a food diary this week and you'll do wonderful next week !

As for the others - well done all ! i don't weigh until about 7.30 so will log in either tonight or tomorrow - i'm hoping to get my half stone award (finally!) and get myself starting on my stone award track. I've been super super good, although I've had two vodka nights which is naughty! Keep your fingers crossed for me ! xxxx

Lost 2lbs so 13lbs in total! Made up!!

How do people lose more than 2 pound a week?

[gazter]

2lbs off, slimmer of the month (seven months in a row), I am now in the fourteens, and only a few pounds away from my seven stone award, and a few more on top from target..

 

[FaithFluro]

Another 3lbs off for me tonight. Missed my Club 10 by 1lb and my 2st award by 2lbs! Next week!!!

 

[michmick]

Gained 3.5lbs but been off plan for 3 weeks, 2 of those on holiday. 10% back on plan since Monday so hopefully lose it again quickly.

How do people lose more than 2 pound a week?


Xx

They have a weekly calorie deficit of more than seven thousand calories. The bigger you are the easier it is. When you are big the amount of energy that is required for it to function is much higher than someone who is near their recommended weight. What you find also, is the more fat you have the easier it is for your body to metabolise its energy from the fat (each fat cell can only release a specific amount of energy, the more you have the more you can get from it).

Someone who is twenty stone could work their a*se off in terms of exercise and a strict diet and lose six to seven pounds on a week in week out basis.

Once your weight is down to mid to high 20s BMI it slows right down, the body has a lot less fat to burn, and your body requires much less energy to function. I would expect that greater than two pound losses at that point are the exception not the rule.
