I had an original 70 pounds to loose, and in 6 weeks, I am down 12.4 and 23 inches. I started at 200.6 pounds and am now 188.2 ....

I was curious, how long did it take everyone to loose their weight? Before/after pics are welcome, especially for those whom are at or around 5'1" ... I'd love to get an idea what I could look like!

    It took me 7 months to lose 31 pounds. About 1 - 1-1/2 pounds per week was my average. That was in October 2010. I have now lost between 36 - 38 pounds depending on the day. I am 5' 6-1/2" tall. 120.6 lbs. today.

    I have about 70lbs to lose too! It's been almost a year and I've lost 50, but I've only been tracking calories since April and I've lost 15 in those 3 months.

    I am 5'3" and I originally lost 165lbs. From 300 to 135. I started lifting and added back 10lbs but didn't change size any and looked and felt great at the heavier weight. I lost 70lbs in the first 7 months and then it took me 2 1/2 years to lose the other 90. The less you have to lose the longer it will take but it is different for everyone and if you want to really ramp it up and workout super hard and diet super intensely you can make it faster but I was interested in changing my lifestyle and having the weight loss stick as opposed to losing it fast.

    I broke my hand a year ago and couldn't work out for a few months, then I didn't want to work out, then I didn't watch my diet so well and I found myself with 20 extra pounds on that have been TOUGH to get off. But once I got back in the groove and remembered how to do this I have been losing a 1/2 pound a day.
