I have lost 49lbs in just over a year...when I started I did 20min walks or Wii just dance, added in a squat challenage, moved to Jillian Michael's 30 Day shred 2x then moved to lifting heavy and in the new year I added in HIIT 2x a week and now that summer is here I still lift heavy 3x a week and cardio/HIIT 2-4x a week.
My lifting is indoors obviously, HIIT is indoors using fitnessblender.com, I walk outside and bike outside.
My starting weight was around 205...I currently weight 156lbs...
At the start I went on a diet and lost almost 30lbs in 3 months...but it wasn't realistic to stay on that diet...Join here on June 17th 2013 and have counted calories since then and eaten whatever I wanted as long as I was in goal and even sometimes I went over goal on weekends.
As for Pics...top left red dress pic is me at or around 205..not really sure...bottom red dress pic is me in July of last year @ 178, LBD pic is NOv 17th, 2013 @ 165lbs...my profile pic is me Feb 2014 @ 160...

I've lost 72 pounds in 9 months. I started at 231 and am currently 159. I started with just eating at a calorie deficit. I added walking and swimming after a month, running after 4 months, cross training at 6 months. I am currently recovering from an injury so am slowly working back up to the following workout schedule...run 3x's, swim 2x's, crosstrain 2x's, zumba 1x.
I didn't start taking photos until I'd already lost about 20 lbs. These show a 50 lb difference...

I don't have anything so drastic or inspirational as SezxyStef, but I'll give my input anyway
1) How much weight did you lose? about 15 pounds
2) How long did it take? about 3.5 months
3) What kind of exercise did you do? I did the Insanity Program, which is sort of HIIT workout vids, and I mixed in 40-60 min elliptical toward the end, plus some squat challenges that I never finished because I'm forgetful.
4) Starting Weight and Current Weight? I'm 5'3". I started at 130, dropped down to ~115. I gained it all back over the holidays, though, because my diet was impossible to keep up.
5) Did you eat anything you want or go on a diet? I was on mfp and because I'm not very heavy, the goal calories per day is 1200. I was working out super hard and not often eating back ANY of my calories burned. I was super strict and wouldn't let myself go over, I often ate under 1200 calories. I felt hungry all the time and I hated not being able to eat what I love.
I re-started my fitness journey about 2 weeks ago, at 135 pounds (I had since gone back on birth control, so the extra 5 pounds is at least partially water weight). I'm back on the 1200 per day, but I don't have a super rigorous workout routine, I just workout when I feel like it. I also eat back my calories if I work out. I've gone over 1200 pretty often, but I'm okay with that because I know I'm still being aware of what I eat and that this is a more manageable way to live. I also eat what I want, if it fits my plan (I had a brownie yesterday and I was still at 1200 cals).
Like I said, it's not so impressive because it's less weight and over a relatively long period of time, plus I gained it back. But I'm a good example of what not to do - if you 'diet' it won't work. Like everyone here always says, it has to be something you can maintain for the rest of your life, or you'll just gain it all back once you go off the diet/exercise.0 -
1) How much weight did you lose?
~17lbs
2) How long did it take?
~8 months
3) What kind of exercise did you do? Indoor or Outdoor.
I did both. Indoor (home DVDs and strength training) and outside (long walks)
4) Starting Weight and Current Weight?
127 and now 110.5
5) Did you eat anything you want or go on a diet?
I still eat the same foods as before, just a bit less of the processed stuff.0 -
1) How much weight did you lose? So far I've lost about 18lbs with 14 more to go
2) How long did it take? It has taken me 5 months but I just jumped back on MFP about 3 weeks ago and it has helped a lot! I lost 18lbs without MFP and had I been tracking back in Nov. I think it would have gone faster.
3) What kind of exercise did you do? I do about an hour of weight lifting with 20-30 mins of cardio, when I first started I did 15 miles a week to kick start weight loss and now that I am at a healthier weight I'm focused on muscle building.
4) Starting Weight and Current Weight? . I'm 5'3" , I started at 152lbs and am now 134 with a goal of around 120
5) Did you eat anything you want or go on a diet? I eat about 1400 calories and sometimes eat my exercise calories back, and yes I eat whatever I want haha I love rice krispie treats and chips but I eat them in small amounts and not everyday. For example yesterday I ate healthy with veggies and rice but today I ate a bag of cheetos. I think by indulging sometimes while still staying in your caloric allowance for the day helps keep this whole lifestyle change manageable. I am more likely to keep up with it if I can have a cookie here and there then if I went complete cold turkey.
Feel free to add me if you'd like=)0 -
Thanks for all your replies its so motivational0

I should add I started with 1600 calories a day...1380+exercise and in the last year averaged about 1700 a day until 2 weeks ago when I upped to 1800...well I guess I am still averaging 1750 now...my diary is open to the public so feel free to view it.0

Hi,
Well I went from 208lbs to 137lbs so far...i had a baby but still the same thing.....gained too much weight. So since then I was slow at first n nursing so now I'm really hitting it hard n have been. I suggest doing HIIT workouts every to every other day. I do every day. I am cutting calories, it's what works for me. And only eating my meats, veggie n fruit n proteins and what not. Of course I need my coffee. But oh we'll. I'll have pics later but I'm still going for my goal of 120 115 which is what I used to be. Good luck! Chug water over n over alllll day n exercise as much as possible!0 -

1) I've lost 35 lbs
2) Began in February, so three months
3) no exercise in the first 6 weeks, but a 60% calorie deficit. (NOT a reccommendation)
Currently I am eating 1200-1300 calories
do 30 minutes of home circuit training,
35 minutes of treadmill walking at 5% incline with dumbbells,
and 10 minutes of stretching
9 days on, one day off.
4) SW: 228 CW: 193. The weight came off much more quickly once I stepped up the intensity of my workouts and added calories.
5) I eat nutritionally balanced meals of non-processed food with a calorie deficit. I eat back only about 100 of my exercise calories.
My weightloss will slow down and plateau, probably after I hit 175-180 lbs. At that point I will increase my calories by another 100 or so, and add weight training 3-5 times a week, 20-30 mins at a time. I also change my circuit workout routine every ten days. (following 30 DS at the moment, once done with that, switching to my old favorite The Firm's Body Sculpting Basics, with Susan Harris love that workout. Excited to start it )
I know my biggest challenge will be getting to the last 10-15 lbs and not giving up and going back to my old evil ways.0 -
1) How much weight did you lose? I've lost 115 lbs so far... 6 lbs or so to go
2) How long did it take? Taken 10 months so far ( started July 2013)
3) What kind of exercise did you do? Indoor or Outdoor I workout mainly indoors, with cardio and weight training 6x week. I walk/run, do the elliptical and lift heavy. Hubby is setting a a crossfit like setup in our garage. Can't wait to try it out!!
4) Starting Weight and Current Weight? Started at 291, currently 176
5) Did you eat anything you want or go on a diet? Restricted myself a lot at first. Needed the discipline. Now I've relaxed, but I still weigh myself daily, as well as weighing and measuring my food.
Best wishes to you!!0 -
1) How much weight did you lose? - 31lbs so far
2) How long did it take? - 4 months
3) What kind of exercise did you do? Indoor or Outdoor - Indoor as I have a bad back/joints so can't jog or do anything high impact. Need the gym equipment to avoid injury!
4) Starting Weight and Current Weight? - SW: 177ish lbs GW - 150lbs CW - 146 lbs
5) Did you eat anything you want or go on a diet? - Anything but I started cooking from scratch instead of eating ready meals.0 -
1) How much weight did you lose? 75 pounds
2) How long did it take? I lost 35 pounds in the first 6 months. Sometimes I maintained for a year, then dropped another ten. One year I gained about 20 pounds back (bad year, lost my dad, relationship, job and moved twice). I maintained a 75 pound loss for about 6 years then put back on 20 pounds that have been lingering for over a year.
3) What kind of exercise did you do? Indoor or Outdoor . I started walking a bit more, joined a gym. I run, walk, bike, strength train, yoga every now and then. But really try to move more throughout the day. I skip the elevator and escalator when possible and take the stairs. I walk or bike to errands instead of taking the car.. I moved from the suburbs to the city.
4) Starting Weight and Current Weight? 261 in 2001, 185 in 2006 and currently about 200.
5) Did you eat anything you want or go on a diet? I began by adding more vegetables, switching to whole grains, expanding my palate to include beans, less meat and more variety. I cut back on fried food, alcohol and huge portions. I also began my own garden in the summer. Vegetables are even better when you grow them yourself.
Overall, I never said "no, you can't have xx". That typically led to binging. I recently found my old food journals from the early days. I slowly transitioned into a much healthier diet. I ate more processed foods back then. But, I had a calorie deficit.0 -
Thanks for all your replies...... want to exercise soo bad but im sick and once i eat my medicine i get soo sleepy.

I have lost 28 pounds, but plan on losing about 13 more ( to reach my goal weight of 125 pounds)
It has taken a little under under 4 months to reach my current weight of 135-wish. Weight loss has slowed considerably since getting closer to my goal, but I plan to stick to it as long as it takes.
I do little to no exercise. I take the stairs instead of elevators, I walk to the mailbox, I walk on campus. I did buy a step counter and I walk about 10,000 steps a day. But I don't go to the gym to work out. I hate it.
I didn't eat anything special. I still eat everything I used to eat just less of it. I went on 1,200 calories a day and stuck to it and am still doing it. I still eat cookies and fast food, just now it takes careful planning of calories. Especially since I don't exercise so I don't get to eat anything extra lol.0 -
My Results so far0 -
Wow everyone has great results!!0

Hi ClaudiaKho13 - what are your goals, and how do you plan to get there? I'm just getting started myself!0
-
I lost about 35lbs and it took me about a year. My workout sessions usually consisted of elliptical machines, and home cardio. My starting weight was 144.5 lbs and currently I'm at 109.5 lbs. As for my diet consistency, I would gorge on sweets and salty things occasionally, but overall just two meals a day with snacks and water.
No before or after pic, but it is in my profile pictures. c:0 -
1) I've lost about 40lbs
2) it's taken me almost 2 years but I lost almost all if it (35lbs) in a year and since then I have been recomping (weight not changing much but building muscle) I wear the same size pants now as I did when I was 15-20lbs lighter so that is muscle.
3) I did mostly indoor because I focus on lifting but I also do hill sprints outdoors and walk
4) Starting Weight was around 182 and current is 142. I weigh a lot more then I look and no one ever guesses my weight. if I weigh less than 125 I look anorexic due to my frame/muscle. I'm 5'4".
5) I eat and always have eaten all the foods while I lost weight. just at a caloric deficit.0 -
1) I've lost 61 lbs.
2) 58 lbs in 9 months, the rest in the last 3. Still losing very slowly (suits me just fine that way, too)
3) I do indoor exercises. Body weight exercises (http://neilarey.com/workouts.html) and DVDs (Jillian Michaels)
4) My highest weight was 178 lbs. Current (and lowest!) is 117 lbs.
5) I don't do diets, they make me crazy. I eat what I like, while making healthier choices. I think everything is fine in moderation. I also eat back all of my exercise calories. I'm still losing 0.5 lb per week while eating close to 2000 calories every day, and I'm 5'2".

1) How much weight did you lose? 53 lbs
2) How long did it take? About 41 weeks
3) What kind of exercise did you do? Weightlifting and dancing games, all indoor with the exception of light walking in the fall before I was trapped inside for winter
4) Starting Weight and Current Weight? 170 lbs in first pic, I'm currently 118 lbs
5) Did you eat anything you want or go on a diet? I practice iifym. I focus on nutrient density and not trivial words like good or bad. I did, however, diligently calorie count (weigh and measure my food, log consistently)
sorry, I'm really bad with mash up photos.
^sorry had to share this pic. This is from February to current. I'm doing my first bulk with weightlifting and went from 119 lbs to 118.3 lbs over that course of time (dipped to 115 lbs while upping my calories but I'll take it). Love weightlifting!!0 -
I started seriously logging mid January of this year.
1) I was 177 lbs when I official started
2) It's been 4 months now
3) I lift heavy 3 times a week with some cardio after and do Zumba twice a week
4) I am 156.8 right now and at 26% body fat, but today is my weigh in day so it may be a little different
5) Nothing special, I've found that a huge thing for me is watching my sodium intake
I haven't taken a new pic, but I might do that today.

1) How much weight did you lose?
80 lbs. I aimed for a dress size/measurements range and not a goal weight.
2) How long did it take?
Appx 15 months. It came off very fast at first and verrrry slowly near the end.
3) What kind of exercise did you do? Indoor or Outdoor
I workout solely at home and outside if the weather permits. I mainly walk very briskly (up to 4.4 mph while doing intervals) outside on a track and use walking dvd's. I get in 3 - 6 miles everyday. Also I lift weights (2 - 3 times per week) and I do calisthenics and Pilates.
4) Starting Weight and Current Weight?
I'm 5'11 - started around 250 and I'm maintaining at around 170.
5) Did you eat anything you want or go on a diet?
I just reduced my portion sizes and make healthier choices. I also rarely drink my calories like pop, store-bought juice and alcohol (not including homemade shakes/smoothies/freshly squeezed juices), which allows me to eat even more.
You can see my avatar for a pic, although I need to update my recent pic. That was taken back in October and I'm a little smaller now even though my weight has remained the same.0 -

1) How much weight did you lose? Just over 60 lbs.
2) How long did it take? My first goal was to lose 48 lbs; I reached it in 8 months. My second goal was 60 lbs and I reached it in 10 months.
3) What kind of exercise did you do? Nothing while I was losing weight.
4) Starting Weight and Current Weight? 188 lbs - between 127-130 lbs depending of the day
5) Did you eat anything you want or go on a diet? I was counting points (Did weight watcher) then switch to counting calories when I got the hang of things. WW made things simpler for the girl who didn't know anything about nutrition. I allowed myself treats as long as it fitted in my intake goal of the day. I never restricted any kind of food and never felt in a circle of binging.
I usually don't post pictures but what the heck, here it is:
