    I have been at it for about ten weeks (only 55 days of that on MFP, however). I have lost 20 pounds overall, 14 pounds while on MFP. I lost a lot of water weight at the beginning, so it skews the numbers a bit.

    3 months and 55 lbs. Although I'm sure the first 10 was water weight.

    1 year, 2 weeks and 35lbs. Been struggling the last 6 months.

    I've hit a fat and happy point. I still need to lose another 35lbs but I feel really good and love eating. I am killing my exercise goals so I've had some nice body changes, but yeah...fat and happy.

    2 months, 3 lbs. I'm one of those lean people trying to get leaner so I've read its harder.

    Started using MFP about 6 months ago and I have lost 20 lbs.
    I've been trying to lose weight off and on for 15 years. I have lost and regained in the past but this is the most I've lost. I am at my lowest weight in 5 years now.

    I'm coming up on three years and 40 lbs. I'm considering losing a bit more fat, but I'm more focused on training at the moment.

    55 pounds. that took me about 8 months. thats a balanced healthy no crash dieting way. and it wasn't linear. i lost 35 in about 4 months, became complacent, maintained a month. then lost another 20, 2 months later. I've just been maintaining my loss since the winter but i have another 50lbs to lose.

    Started on March 23, about 3.5 weeks ago and lost 6.5 lbs so far. Even though my goal is to lose 25 more pounds, I definitely see this as a lifestyle change for long term.
