    5 months to lose 50lbs. Now i could have gone more in some cases BUT i chose to eat more when i was losing too much. 2lbs per week is the safest which adds up to roughly 10lbs a month.

    10 months. From 188-138#. I lost the first 30 in 4 months, then took 6 months to lose the last 20.

    It took me about 9 months to lose my first 50. I probably have about that much left to go, still.

    It's taken 8 months to lose 43 lbs, but to be fair, I wasn't attempting to lose weight for 4 of those months.

    4 to 5 months, then the other 45lbs took 6 to 7 more months
