    I started in May of 2011 and to date I have lost 65 pounds. I lost the first 50 pounds quickly (averaging about 1.5 pounds a week) and then the last couple of months I have had slow to little progress but I just changed from mostly cardio to mostly strength traning and upped my calories so I think the scale is finally moving again. Good Luck :)

    ^^ My new hero! Role Model!!!

    Lol, Actually if I could do it again, I would have slowed down a bit. I about killed myself every day burning atleast 1000 calories from cardio 6 days a week. It was worth it in the end. Thankfully I have kept it off. and learned better eating habbits.

    Before joining MFP, I'd lost about 20lbs with WW from March 2010 - May 2011. Before that, in 2007, I lost 40 lbs on Atkins in about 5 months time (not recommended.) So a total of 60 lbs lost before MFP.

    In between those times, I either paid zero attention to what I was eating or ate way too little. So now I'm on MFP trying to repair all that damage to my metabolism. Eating a (mostly) whole foods diets, tracking calorie intake and being active is my goal. Hopefully by doing those things, I will lose these last 45 lbs.

    I have lost 24 pounds since the middle of December...14 of those since I joined MFP. I am steadily losing a pound a week now, which for me is wonderful progress.

    Before MFP, it took me 3 1/2 years to lose 80lbs. Since I've joined MFP on January 2, 2012 I've lost 24 lbs. and it's staying off even when I fall off the bandwagon sometimes. :)

    I've lost 57 lbs since January 2011. It's been 15 months. I went from a size 15/16 to a size 7/8. Body fat 37% down to 23%.
    I wanted to get down to 130 lbs but I know that my body composition has changed and so has my goal. I'm aiming for a body fat % of 16% and fitting into a size 4 or 6? Heck at 158 and a size 7/8 is truly amazing considering I was 160 lbs in high school wearing size 15/16!

    Unhealthy way a few years back: 65 pounds in 3 months (eating once a day, working out all the time, sleeping a lot over the summer)

    Healthy way this time: 20 pounds in about 2 1/2 months... slow process, but it's a marathon not a sprint

    Gotta keep reminding myself of that fact!

    I've lost 21lbs since about September or October? I have about 5-10 more to go, so the weight is dropping slower, but I'm okay with that.

    8 pounds lost in 4 weeks - and a l-o-n-g way to go. I am hoping to continue to lose 2 pounds a week for the next 6 weeks, then I will be happy with 1-2 pounds per week. I have tried for so long, in so many different ways, and MFP and all the support and community is making the weight loss easier than it has ever been. :wink:

    That's partly the reason why I said If I could do it again I would do it slower. at times it felt unhealthy what I was doing. (about 1400-1500 calories a day eating) then burning off 1000 atleast and sometimes up to 1500-2000. But now I am eating about 2000 a day and not even hitting 1000 calories burned anymore. I was ready to lose the weight.... and thanks to good friends on here, in real life, and strong will power has let me atleast keep the weight off and start building muscle. Thank you MFP family! :)
