Lost 7lbs in 2 weeks & 2 days, should I be happy?
Hi everyone.
I borrowed a set of digital scales from my children’s mother and I used them today. It’s been 2 weeks and 2 days since my last weig-in at the hospital. So I step on them a few times to get an accurate result, and all times it said 308lbs, a 7lb loss since the last weigh-in. Thing is I am not quite sure how good that is in terms of weight loss, I’m not sure if I should be losing more?
I have a hold on my diet now, I get up and have cereal with a glass of 100% orange or apple juice. I drink water the rest of the day and have fruit to go towards my 5-a-day(usually not until after dinner though), I then have my dinner which is usually 2 forms of vegetable with pasta or potato. That’s all, no crisps, no sweets, no fizzy juice. I’ve done my best to get in a ‘healthy’ diet whilst waiting to see a nutritionist. Also, I have been playing football(soccer) most days for over an hour each session, I have also been trying to incorporate more exercise too.
With all that things seem to be going well but I am just not sure how much weight loss I should be aiming for every 2weeks.
Would be nice to hear from you guys. Thank you.

that’s actually pretty good, they say you should be losing about 2lbs a week for healthy weight loss but the more you have to lose the quicker it comes off at first, so you have lost about 3.5 a week in the last 2 weeks and that’s good. my husband averages around there too, so I think you are doing it in a healthy manner! you should be happy about it that’s awesome!!! keep it up!
You are right on track. 3 lbs a week was my average. Keeop at it. You’ll soon be at your goal weight!
Sounds fantastic!!! You are in the healthy range for weightloss. Keep it up you are doing great.
