    I'm not quite there, still have 7lbs to go but it has taken me a year to lose 15 lbs, however I was already a healthy weight. I am cycling and weight lifting and eating at a small deficit. In the past when I have lost more quickly I've always ended up gaining it back.

    I am 2.6 pounds from my goal of 185. I am currently at 187.6 and started at 337 back in December. It took me from July 6th until today to lose 20 pounds.

    I eat 1300 calories a day. I have a pretty big deficit since I am 6'5. I don't exercise because I have a neurological disease and am disabled, however I will be doing some sort of resistance training when I hit maintenance.

    Personally want to congratulate you on your awesome success. Bravo!

    Please don't
    That's a terribly unhealthy rate of loss
    It's like congratulating someone for putting their health at risk
    It's sad

    I am in agreement that losing weight that quickly is not healhy, and @MySweetPotato, please do not follow drastic weight loss advice.

    Haha! I've tried these diets already. I lost and gained the same 20 lbs a bunch of times. This time I want to do it right! And I want to do something sustainable...even if it means I'll have to wait half a year to get there. Otherwise a quick fix can take me 5 weeks easily.
