    2 and a half months (five yrs ago) to lose 33lbs. I was working out a lot! Lots of cardio, I did it via the Wii. I did get crazy obsessive in what I ate which was a bit scary lol

    The question is not "how long did it take?", but rather "how long will it last?". I'm losing at a rate of 3lb/month, painstakingly slow for some impatient people, I'm sure. But I am learning the skills that will keep this weight off, should I continue to practice them, for the rest of my life, and that's what it's all about, right?? I'd rather do it right the first time and take my time, than to rush thru the process and not be able to maintain the results.

    I lost 35 pounds in the four months from the first of September to the New Year. {240-205} I have lost 30 more pounds {205-175} in the 5 1/4 months from New Years until now. For the first four months I was doing the 5-2 fasting diet. As I was working out more, I found I couldn't stick to the two 600 calorie days a week. Now I have to learn how to maintain my weight.

    I lost 25 pounds in 3 months. My starting weight was 247. I take a 30-45 min walk everyday. There are no excuses to not working out. (Unless you are literally bedridden) Even on my sick days I take a quick walk and eat healthy. Of course I eat fattening foods every once in a while. A small chocolate bar every couple weeks usually does the trick. Anyways, good luck with losing the weight!

    I've lost 21lbs. since Feb. 22, 2014. That's 105 days, divided by 7 = 15 weeks. 21 lbs. divided by 15 = 1.4 lbs. per week average. That said, sometimes a week would go by with no loss at all, followed by a large loss the next week. It's not a straight line - just a general downward trend line.
