    About 40-45 pounds, in about 5-6 months. Didn't expect to hit ultimate goal weight so easily. Been maintaining for 8-9 months, struggling to find new goals and strike a sustainable balance, but THOROUGHLY enjoying the process. It was a very big deal for me to get injured a couple months ago and NOT give up and start gaining all the weight back -- something that I had let happen several times in the past.

    About 35 lbs. I lost the first 15-20 lbs. in the first few months, then 10-15 lbs. the next year.

    I'm sure that it would have gone much quicker had I not wasted my time doing Atkins Induction for several months, then refusing to accept that I needed fewer than 1300 calories/day CONSISTENTLY to start to lose weight, again. (I'm 5'2".), and finally realizing that this close to goal weight, I need to exercise (the dreaded cardio), if I want to ensure I am achieving enough of a deficit to produce a 2-3 lb./month loss. Slower than that, and I lose motivation.

    Hope this helps. Good luck to you!!!

    21.5 pounds in 11 months.... goal is another 15-20 to go.
    Slow and steady... not in a rush... more concerned about overall health.

    35lbs in 10 months with low to moderate exercise. This is including two vacations where I was being sensible, but still it was vacation. I've increased my exercise routine to burn those last 20 quicker

    Started at 300 lbs in 2009 I believe, lost 70 in a year, then I quit counting calories. Luckily I didn't gain much back. and I have lost 17 since joining MFP in February. It's so much easier this time. I was carrying a little notepad everywhere the first time... MFP really saves me time and helps me track not only calories, but exercise and nutrition.
