how long to reach your goal?

I was curious to know.. I'm new to MFP and I was wondering how long it took people to reach their goals.. and how much weight did you lose? I've lost 5 pounds in the first week but I know it won't be like that every week that's why I was curious to know.

HI and welcome. I lost the first 10 pounds pretty easily. The rest has come off slowly, but it was tough getting through the holidays. Seems like its 1 or 2 pounds a week as long as I behave myself. You're younger, so it may be easier for you.

I've lost at about the rate they said I would. It's been about 12 weeks for me. I'm 8lbs away from goal #1.

my friend introduced me to MFP and I was already doing weight watchers. I started 11/4 and now I'm in my 11th week. I started at 167 and am now at 145. first week was the best, but after that pretty consistent I think.
