Guest guest Posted May 17, 2001 Report Share Posted May 17, 2001 Selena - Wow, congrats on the 15 pounds! I have been doing taebo very consistantly since October and have also lost 15 lbs. I don't have alot to loose, so it was very slow....I think people who have alot to loose might loose at a quicker pace. I went from 133 to 118 and at 5'7 " I don't really want to loose anymore. I think it's probably different for everyone. Caroline, who's delighted that I need to eat more to maintain now. Whoopie! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 17, 2001 Report Share Posted May 17, 2001 WOOOOOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOO SELENA!!!!!!!!! WAY TO GO!!! I'm on workout 5 on the Mighty 100!! ) Carol << Hi everyone! I finally got the courage to get on the scales this morning and found that I'd lost two more pounds this week (15 pounds total). I was wondering how everyone else was doing and how long it takes and how much weight people are losing on average. My sister-in- law is thinking about getting TB and asked me what the average weight loss is and the time it takes. Welcome to all the new people! I know you will find this site very motivational, I know I sure have! Selena, who is now on workout number 6 since the mighty 100 challenge started. >> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not sure what the average loss is because everyone loses at different rates. In the beginning, I lost at a rate of about 5 pounds a month. I seem to lose in spurts now. I'll lose 5 or 6 pounds in a few weeks and then don't lose again for another few months. Anyway, congratulations on your weight loss!

I would tell your SIL that weight loss depends on a lot of factors, e.g., how close you are to your ideal weight when you start, your age, your fitness level when you start taebo, ... .. Tell her how much fun taebo is and how good you feel about yourself when you are doing it. Tell her that healthy living (a lifetime journey) requires some form of exercise, and that taebo makes exercise fun and enjoyable.

Selena, Congratulations on the weight loss this week Weight loss varies for everyone, so it's really hard to say how long it will take or how much you will lose in a given period of time! I always stress not to focus too much on the weight loss because it can drive you crazy...LOL! Instead, try to focus on all the other changes you notice when you start Tae-Bo and the weight loss will just fall into place Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 18, 2001 Report Share Posted May 18, 2001 Selena, I've been losing weight for about 9 weeks. I lose about 2 pounds a week, and have now lost a total of 27 pounds.

Guest guest Posted April 18, 2002 Report Share Posted April 18, 2002 IMO it's much better to take the *average* weight loss over the 12 week period of time. Some weeks (in the beginning especially) you might lose 3-4 lbs (er, this mostly applies to men or women than have a lot of BF to lose) and some weeks you might not lose anything at all! Over the course of 12 weeks though, you might average out to 1.5-2 lbs per week. For example, my last challenge (#6) I lost 16 scale lbs over the 12 weeks, an average of 1.33 lbs/wk. However, I lost 7 of those in the 1st week (water weight from porking out over the holidays) which means I lost a little less than 1 lb for each remaining week of the challenge. Try to look at the big picture as far as your progress goes. If you get to day-to-day in measuring your progress, it can seem like things are moving slower than molasses in December. Jen B. C7W3D4 " No excuses! " > I think I have this right. If I am losing 1.5 to 2 pounds per week I > am OK. I started at 196 down to 186 in 2 and a 1/2 weeks. I know some > of the weight was water.

Guest guest Posted December 8, 2007 Report Share Posted December 8, 2007 Jeepers! You mum must have had one heck of a delivery when you were born! That's got to be a record. :-) And I thought Bohdi was only 3 days old. Are you doing drugs again? Again, Kris, I'm so happy for you and that man. Jim AKA smart-arse - - - - - - - - - - - Just a bit of interesting information. I weighed myself today - 6 days after giving birth and I weigh less than I ever have my entire life!!
