How much have you lost, and how long did it take?

junkintrunk5

I'm starting my very important journey, and wanted to know how long it takes most people to get to where they are today? I know everyone is different, but it would be motivating to see what my journey might be:)...I want to lose 40 pounds!!

94 pounds since the Monday after the 4th of July 2013. Diet and exercise are the key. I chose walking and just started strength and toning exercise a couple weeks ago. Am still doing the walking as well.

MapleFlavouredMaiden

35lbs in 21 months but I lost most of it pretty quick, then fat/muscle just kind of started shifting so I gained muscle, lost fat in different spurts. I've lost 5lbs over a very long period of time whilst maintaining my muscle. I'm not really concerned with the scale. I'm more interested in body fat % .

The_1_Who_Knocks

90 pounds total since Feb 13. I lost the first 35 doing some unsustainable fad diets.

Around October 1st I made a permanent lifestyle change with my diet, and I walk 25-30 miles a week. Lost 55 pounds since October 1st.

Started 274, now I am 184. 5'11.

williamshl10

28 pounds since February 6th, 2014. No more soda, started walking 2 miles a day and cut my calories down. But I am very overweight to begin with, so that's why it seems too fast.

ShannonMpls

131-135 pounds, depending on the day (it's all within the range of where I want to be).

It took me 15 months to drop it. I steadily lost 10-12 pounds a month until I purposely really slowed things down for the last 15.

I've been maintaining since September of 2012, so about 18 months.

steelnfl

43 pounds since September 4, 2013

edtechseth

I'm down 29 since January 1, 2014. Not eating junk and regular exercise!

vincetse

Lost 39 lbs in 8 months. The first 35 lbs took 5 months, but things have slowed down since cos my body has become very efficient at the exercises I do. My Jawbone Up tells me doing 130,000-140,000 steps a week from walking, elliptical and running. Good luck in your journey!

LlamaMama12

6 pounds since March 14th which is ridiculous tbh
