I started a diet 3 weeks ago, I have lost 12.1/2lbs, I am delighted with this but wondered if this was a good weight loss or not

I'd say so. Well done! It took me around 8 weeks to lose a stone. What diet are you following?

Wow well done - I'd be chuffed with a weight loss like that

Depends how you are doing it really. That is quite a lot of weight to lose in 3 weeks and if you are crash dieting you are in danger of putting it back on plus some more. If you are following a healthy balanced diet and doing lots of excersice that that is good but if you are crash dieting then it may not last.

Don't mean to put a downer on it just a friendly warning speaking from much dieting experience.

Back in 1994 I lost 14lbs in 3 weeks on SW. So it's possible - just make sure you are eating healthily & sustainably

You probably lost mainly water in the 1st week or so. Your weight loss should steady out to 1 -2 pounds/week, or 4-8 pounds/month as many women find.
Well done though, it's a great feeling to get off to a great start!

Following SW I am not crash dieting as I am eating loads of the right things.
first week was a lose of 6.1/2lbs
Second week 2lbs
Third week 4lbs

Thank you, I have a long way to go, trying to get down to a size 16 (at least) although would love to be a 14 lol for my daughters wedding in may next year, I'm between a 18 and 20 just now, so it will be hard going
