Loosing weight quickly

[Moonstar1970]

Hi, I have been on MJ 2.5 for 2 months, was loosing 2lb a week but the last two weeks I have lost 4lb each week. Not sure why I track my calories etc. I have stopped snacking. Just worried it is too much each week. Thank you

@Moonstar1970what was your starting weight?

I wouldn’t be too perturbed unless that rate of loss continues for another week or so.

My starting was over 22 stone. Thank you for your reply

I was 22st when I started and lost some larger amounts in the first few weeks. It gradually settled down to the more expected 1 to 2 pounds a week after the initial rapid losses. I think that’s quite common for people who start at higher weights.

Yes, don’t worry. It’s normal to lose quite quickly in the early weeks as the MJ builds up in your system in weeks 3 & 4.

If you’ve ever watched those 600lb dieters TV shows, the doctor on there often expects the patients to lose at least 40lbs a month, just from eating a high protein, high fibre, no carb diet. 😳

I think due to high starting weight this is normal and fine. Don’t worry.

I lost 5lb first week , 3lb second , 0.5lb third and 4th so moved up to 5mg. I lost 8lb first week on 5mg . Having been on MJ more almost 1.5 years (with a 2 month gap) I shouldn’t have moved up it was my cycle playing up . I since that month stay the same or minimal loss 2 weeks leading up too and good loss two week after . This may or may not relate but take the average of a 4 week loss if continuing at such a loss consult dr. Otherwise as journey continues you gonna be happy as loss slows down alooot then the longer and the more you you loose

I started at BMI 37 now at 27

4lb each week is great, especially at your start weight. Keep going as you are

I wouldn't stress. I've been on MJ since 2025 and in the first 18 months lost 7 stone! You will have weeks you lose loads and weeks you lose nothing. Your start weight is high so you will lose more quickly at the beginning.
