    I've dropped 10 lbs in 4 weeks off and on maybe 30 times. But when I decided on making actual sustainable habits it took me 6 months to lose the first 10 lbs :)

    This! It's been slower for me this time because I'm not doing anything "crazy" - no 1200 calorie days, no giving up all carbs or sweets, no "more than I can maintain" gym schedule. What I'm doing now is what I can do forever.

    about 6 weeks to lose 10 pounds. Have lost just over a stone now and the next stone is going slower to shift. !

    It has taken me 13 weeks to lose 18 lbs. I still need to lose 20 more. So by Summer, it should happen. I'm motivated.

    About two months but I've been lackadaisical about my diet. Now I'm plan to knuckle down and get my act together.

    It took me about a month. I was aiming to lose 20. (It took me about 3 months to lose the full 20 since weight loss slowed down after the first 3-4 weeks.)

    I generally lose 1 pound a week and sometimes it takes longer. I'm finishing up an 8 week challenge where I will end around 15 pounds lost in 8 weeks but I don't recommend that
    I have also noticed that changing up what makes up my diet (carb, fat etc) does seem to affect how fast I lose. These last 8 weeks I tried to go gluten free for the most part but I can't say for sure that made a difference. But if I amp up the protein and cut back on carbs I do notice the weight coming off again.

    I actually lost 10 pounds over the course of two weeks, which isn't necessarily normal or ideal, but it happened. I lost 7 one week and 3 the next. I also had a pretty high starting weight, as you can gauge from my profile picture

    About 3 months. The first few pounds were the quickest and then it slowed down.

    About 2.5 months, but I was at a healthy weight and just need to trim down.

    10 pounds for me is like a month and a week.

    Took me about a month. So far I've lost 28 pounds in about 3 1/2 months.

    My first 10 lbs took 5 weeks, but I started with 110 lbs to lose, so someone closer to a healthy weight won't lose so fast.
