For future reference, decimal places in weights in stone are a completely alien concept to us Brits. We always refer to X stone Y pounds. In this case, 3 stone 8 pounds. Note that the plural of stone is stone 🙂
I’ve not lost that much yet, nor do I expect to. 18 pounds so far and about the same to go.

Hi tomtommum, I’m not quite there yet but I’ve lost 44lb in 13 months. Most of it (probably the first 28lb+) in the first 6 months. I did expect to start trailing off as I got closer to my goal weight (I’m still about 40lb away yet – although I’ll be quite happy with just another 28 to be honest) but the scales are still going down and the lifestyle is now an actual lifestyle, so I don’t care how long it takes. My rate has gone down to an average of 1-2lb a month in the last couple of months but to start with I lost 14lb+ in the first 2 months.
Hopefully that will all help you figure out your own rate & what to expect. Good luck with it.
Wow, TracyJ, I am seriously impressed. As you say, it’s a lifestyle as well as a way to lose weight. I am just at the beginning (did Day 3 yesterday), so have a long way to go, but am amazed and fascinated by it all and so impressed with everyone’s stories. (and rather pleased that I have lost 7lbs…. 🙂 )
Hi Everyone, I will be turning 50 in December, but am already in menopause over the past year. I did the HCG diet and lost 120 lbs over a year and a half. It completely changed how I eat, however I have gained 20 of those 120 back over the last year. I am 5’7″ and currently weigh 230 lbs so obviously I still have a good bit to lose. I really really want to find a way to lose 50 lbs to get to 180. I’ve been doing the “Eat Stop Eat” fasting routine (fast for 16 hrs, eat for 8 hrs every day) over the last 3 weeks and lost 4 1/2 lbs the 1st week, then gained a lb and a half over the next 2 weeks. I work out at the gym 1/2 hr 4 days a week. I just entered my info in one of those calculators online (actually used 3 different ones on 3 different sites), and all of them said to maintain my weight I should be eating around 2300 calories a day, 1800 to lose weight!
I currently eat 1200 – 1300 and can’t lose weight. I’m terrified of eating more cause I don’t want to gain any more. I already eat healthier than all of my friends (no bread or processed carbs, mostly fruit, veggies, and meat). I’m considering switching to the Fast Diet. Since I adjusted well to the HCG requirement of 500 calories/day, I don’t think I’d have trouble with that at all. My trouble is how much to eat on the non-fast days! Help!
Thanks for the quick response, wittldnrUSA! Yes, I used the calculator, and it says I should be eating 2345 calories/day on my non-fast days! I can’t even imagine eating that many calories in one day, and I can’t believe that I could lose weight eating that much. That’s more like what I ate before I went on HCG (although back then it was fast food and frozen dinners)!
My routine? Keep carbs to a minimum on fast days, only have one meal and no snacks on fast days, try to get at least 12 hour fast overnight every night.
However, I think I’m lucky to be one of those who loses weight easily.
Good luck with your continued progress…I’m sure you’ll get there if you keep the faith.
I’ve lost 33 lbs so far, started at the beginning of April, right after the movie aird on PBS in US. I lost first 18 lbs in the first six weeks, without a minute of excercise. Then I bought eliptical trainer, and added almost daily 30 minutes on it. The weight loss goes slower now, once in a while it hits a plateau for few weeks, before getting down a little bit again, but general trend is definitely in the right direction. still planning to go at leaast another 10 lbs, if not more. I am pretty sure 50 is possible.
By the way, if anyone wants to see my transformation (a picture says a thousand words!) it can be seen here:

@wiltldnrusa Nothing special on non-fast days until recently when I started increasing the length of the overnight fast by skipping breakfast most days and at the same time reducing my carb intake with an aim of keeping it below 150g on non-fast days and as low as poss on fast days. Since then weightloss has picked up again but I still need to lose another 10kg to get to goal. May go to 6:1 then, we’ll see…
