How long did it take you to lose 50lbs?

I lost 59 lbs through a slimming club (but with virtually no change to activity level) in 12 months, from 18 st 3 (255 lb) to 14 st (196 lb). Some poor eating habits returned, I saw a familiar pattern emerging and alarm bells started to ring.
Now working on the whole package, nutrition and exercise.
Its a journey, expecting ups and downs, but got to keep going; you too Nads36...you can do it.

I haven't lost it yet, but I am in process to lose a pound a week this year. I am about 31 weeks in and 32 pounds down. I try to stay a couple of pounds ahead, but I do not want to lose quickly and I want to have room for a little fun at the appropriate times.

Started at 226 and my initial goal is 175, then I will evaluate where to go from there. I'm 5'9".

My overall goal is to lose 150 lbs total (295 to 145 lbs). So far I've lost 125/150.

The first 50 lbs came off in 4 months.
The second 50 lbs came off in 5 months.
I'm projecting that the final 50 lbs will take 6 months (I'm guessing/hoping I will reach my goal by the end of 2017). We'll see how accurate that is!

Thank you so much for taking the time to tell me about your progress. It really is lovely to read. Well done everyone and keep at it. I have lost 0.5lbs this week, taking me to a total of 14.5lbs so far. I was disappointed with such a low loss but I will not give up. Will keep going as I know there are going to be weeks that are slower than others! Take care and look forward to hearing more about your fantastic progress! ☺

Progress is progress and 0.5 pounds loss is sweet progress.
Beware of the plateau's though and be sure to measure.

Cheers and I wish you all the best!
