    I've lost 28lbs in 2 months... almost 30 now!


    Seems like too much too fast. Are you eating all that you should and exercising or starving yourself? (Not insulting you. Just want you to be healthy so that you can maintain your weight loss).

    I wasn't on this site yet, I hadn't found all you wonderful folks just yet ^_^...My first thirty came off by surprise...I had gotten diagnosed as pre-diabetic, so I went on a low sugar diet and twenty pounds just disappeared in about a month...to lose the next 35 pounds I joined a gym and started walking everyday and it took me about 5 months to lose, but that includes the the holidays when I completely lost my mind and fell off the wagon, luckily I didn't gain any weight back...now I've joined MFP to get my weight loss back on track!

    Using MFP, it took me about 11 weeks to lose 30 pounds. Tomorrow will mark 17 weeks on the site for me, and my loss is up to 43.4 pounds.

    I have not missed a day of logging onto the site since I started on December 28, 2010, though there have been a few days where I haven't logged food (but fewer than 10 days fall into that category). I have a NET goal of 1,200 calories each day, and I am a firm believer in eating back exercise calories. I've only been over my net goal a few times. Also, I do around 8 hours of cardio each week.

    Took me 6 months to lose 15lbs... been doing P90X Lean and doubled it up with extra cardio on the elliptical for the past 2 months to help speed things up.

    About 6 months and I used MFP for most of the time. Those 6 months also included the winter holidays so I might have done it a little faster but who knows.

    I joined and started tracking on Jan 3 of this year. I am 3 lbs away from my 30 lb goal! So I'm gonna guess 4 months.

    Technically 4 months, I lost 5lbs the first 2 months I was on this site and quit for a couple of weeks. Then the past 7 weeks I have lost 25lbs.

    It took me 3 months to lose 30 lbs. I used Weight Watchers in the beginning, I'm still a member right now but I'm not really using their site for tracking, just the community portion of it. Although last year I was tracking with their Points system. As of about a month ago, I tried MFP and have been doing calorie counting instead.

    From April 1, 2010 to September 10, 2010 I lost 30lbs. Worked my butt off to do it too. :)

    It took me just under 4 months to lose 30 pounds. The whole time was with MFP and I started to excercise on about day 17.

    I've lost 24lbs in a little over 2 months.

    weight loss differs from person to person...depending on lots of different reasons. My weight vs. your weight could play a huge role in how fast/slow you lose weight.

    I've lost 20 pounds in about 3 months. But I think the next 10 will be harder, so I'm giving myself 2 months to get there.

    30lb took me about 10 weeks.

    I just blogged about this a few minutes ago.

    Just lost about 30 lbs as of now, and it's taken me from Jan 20, 2011 till like 2 days ago, so what is that 3.5 months right? I have a long way to go. And I plateaued for almost the entire month of April.

    I lost my 30 in just under 2 months, but I have a lot to lose. I am on day 130 and am at 50lbs total. :bigsmile:

    I'm 8lbs away from losing 30lbs and it's taken me just a bit over 4 months. I'm also short and has 'little' to lose...so I'm losing on average (if I'm lucky) 5lbs a month.

    Really need to change things up though...but I heard losing 1 lb a week is healthy for my size...so...
